    and because #UAW is divesting from Israel, there’s a huge smear campaign against Shawn Fain, in time for the unions’ elections.

    >> US banning #Polestar is like 1970s India’s License Raj. Under #Biden, a #UAW sop; under T••••, a favor to #Musk + an open shakedown…

    Biden and UAW are both political whores.

    Biden, in particular, milked with BOTH hands by imposing a 100% tariff on #Chinese #EV to benefit BOTH #UAW and #ElonMusk, while screwing most Americans.

    #UAW prez #ShawnFain campaigned with #KamalaHarris in 2024. By 2025, he was singing praises to #Trump.

  19. 'A Strong Working-Class Agenda With Moral Clarity': UAW Endorses Abdul El-Sayed

    “Having never taken a dime from corporate #PACs, Dr. #AbdulElSayed is someone we can trust to have our backs,” the #union continued. “From #MedicareForAll to banning stock buybacks, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is ready, eager, and well-equipped to move our core issues in the USSenate.”

    Dan Merica, a reporter at The Washington Post, noted that losing the #UAW endorsement to El-Sayed was a particularly big blow to Stevens, “who is running as a technocrat, often referring to herself as a ‘manufacturing geek’ because of her work as one of President Barack Obama’s top officials on the 2009 auto rescue.”

    It was not #Trump, but #Biden who coddled up to #Tesla.

    Biden imposed a 100% #tariff on Chinese EVs in 2024, 4x the previous 25% to protect #US mfg and union jobs. These tariffs also target EV components, raising levies on #batteries to 25% and #solar to 50%.

  29. RE: mastodon.social/@arstechnica/1

    #Ford needs to start selling, and #UAW to start making, the cars that drivers want to buy, not cars Ford wants to sell. Today, that means:
    • safe (which means buttons and levers, not touchscreens)
    • reliable (which means absence of features not necessary for one of these)
    • efficient (which means not a wasteful giant box with terribly restricted driver vision)
    • easy to repair (which means #rightToRepair)
    • inexpensive to own and operate (which, for many, means a BEV car less expensive than the ICE Focus)
    • nothing else (which, among other things, means no capacity for the car itself to connect to the Internet)

    We don’t need an infotainment system: we need a sturdy place to mount a cellphone. We don’t need a built-in screen for kids: we can hang our own tablet off the back of a seat in a case with a strap. We don’t need driver distraction compensation features: we need the car itself to present no distraction. We don’t need a status symbol: we need to get us and our stuff from point A to B with minimal hassle.

    Stop trying to persuade drivers to buy wasteful vehicles, and start offering drivers a means to avoid wasting their time and money.

    Offer me a safe and reliable non-flashy and non-distracting EV sedan, with no needless bells or whistles, at a price which puts the payments below my current monthly cost of gas, and you’ve got a sale.

    What do I know about unions and labor strikes?

    My fav union story from my ILR days: everyone in ILR majors in Labor Relations, and a ton end up in Law School (where I thought I was going). One of the seniors (Al Davidoff)--the *biggest* LR fan --kinda disappeared after grad.

    He was working as a Cornell janitor. He helped organize with the UAW, and was voted chapter president at 23. No one was shocked.

  32. OpEd - No, I'm Not Going to #NoKings This Time
    And neither should you

    A Declining Democracy
    Mar 18, 2026

    Excerpt: "What does toppling the #oligarchy mean? It means boycotting the media, goods, and services they use to extract wealth from the rest of us. (See the #TeslaTakedown as a great example.) It means #activism to get state legislatures to enact #WealthTaxes. It means lobbying state legislatures to increase income taxes on the top 10% of earners. It means electing Governors and Mayors who adopt a #Mamdani / #AOC-like platform to alleviate the financial burdens of average workers/citizens. It means rejecting corporate centrism and any of their candidates, local or federal, who accepts money from PACs, particularly those that have effectively paralyzed representatives from voting against Israel or the NRA. It also means creating the networks that protect the most vulnerable: the undocumented, women who are being persecuted for exercising bodily autonomy or receiving life-saving medical care, and anyone, frankly, who isn’t white or Christian.

    "So, where does one start? First, send an email to the No Kings organizers at [email protected] and explain why you won’t be joining this time or at any time in the future until they adopt a strategy with teeth:

    - Protests must occur on weekdays and for multiple days at a time and to call it a #GeneralStrike.

    - To use their clout to call for union leaders to have their union membership strike in solidarity.

    - To call for their sponsors to contribute to a strike fund for non-union, hourly wage participants, offsetting the financial burden of participating in these actions.

    - To have specific demands for our government:

    * Remove and Prosecute Trump for his criminality, particularly as it relates to the sex-trafficking and rape of minors

    * Abolish ICE

    * Audit the 2024 election, restore voting systems where breaches have occurred, and implement federal voting rights statutes to ensure every voter is heard and every vote counted

    * Ratify the Equal Rights Amendment across all 50 states, codifying women’s rights to vote, have equal pay, and access to reproductive health care.

    * Adopt Medicare for All.

    "Now, there is a #MayDay general strike being organized by the #UAW, but it’s being planned for 2028 which seems awfully far away and too late. I’m sure the idea was to do some union saber-rattling in the lead up to the 2028 Presidential election. However, the time to show some critical mass is right now, not two years from now, after heaven knows how much more crap this Administration will inflict or how much more suffering Americans will endure. No Kings has the numbers; why not just consolidate and do it sooner? "
