Auto Workers Fail To Represent

uawSome UAW members are pretty upset with their union. And it’s not so much about what the Auto Workers did, but rather what they didn’t do. Volvo Trucks just announced its intention to lay off another 500 workers in early February. This comes after two previous rounds of layoffs earlier this year. When asked what his union was doing to prevent the job losses, one worker said: “It sets up perfectly for the union. They are holding their local elections in March, right after the layoffs take effect. If you are laid off the union doesn’t tell you when you can vote. So they exclude the workers who are most affected by their sellout policies from being able to vote them out.” To learn more about Local 2069 prioritizing corporate interests over the well-being of its members, click here.
