2024 was a busy year in @UAWRegion9A full of many wins. And we know 2025 is going to bring lots of challenges. Central to all we do will be one thing: recommitting to building worker power. Check out for highlights from 2024 and the struggles ahead in 2025 #StandUpUAW
There’s a lot at stake in 2025 at the bargaining table, in the halls of political power, and out on the streets. Hear from @UAW Region 9A Director @mancillabrando on how we will fight for our future this year. youtube.com/watch?v=20t1PYF1…

Shawn Fain is right. It is an outrage that GM is spending $20 billion on stock buybacks to enrich its wealthy shareholders, while 80% of its autoworkers no longer have a pension or retiree health benefits.
That $20 billion should be going to workers, not Wall Street executives.

Let’s be real about why theres a flood of unhinged attacks in this Senate race.
Divide & conquer is all they got.
This race is the working class having a voice in Senate vs another corporate/billionaire lackey. That’s why there hundreds of @uaw members knocking doors right now
ICYMI: On Thursday, the UAW released an hour-long conversation between UAW President Shawn Fain and Michigan Senate candidate @AbdulElSayed covering a wide range of topics that matter to working-class voters ahead of Election Day.

ICYMI: “I think my perspective as a political person really started with the fact that I was a worker and that I did not control my hours.… And that sense of kind of powerlessness is one that is shared by so much of the working class." — @claireforny

Congratulations to UAW President Shawn Fain on his reelection. Shawn is one of the great union leaders in our country.
He has taken on the billionaire class, won strong victories for his members and understands the need to organize, organize, organize.
Solidarity forever!
UAW Election Count is underway. Region 9A members came out overwhelmingly for Shawn Fain and the United UAW ✊

On September 30, 2026, our new members at Smithtown KIA in Saint James, NY, unanimously ratified their first collective bargaining agreement!

Great day for NYU postdocs to win a union at NYU @UAW! Stay tuned tonight
A big victory for the workers of Autozone, UAW Local 259 @UAWRegion9A. Management hired all the possible anti union consultants and spent a boatload of money to defeat them. But the workers made it clear that you can’t beat good organizing. Congratulations! Welcome to the @uaw
HUGE: Autozone workers just won the first ever union at the company.
Despite Autozone spending an estimated $210,696 and using every tactic in the book to stop just 11 workers from forming a union, the small shop in New York chose to unionize today.
These workers will now join the @UAW.
