Four Core Issues

Living Wage, Time Off, Retirement, Health Care

For the past 90 years, the UAW has built the American Dream from the factory floor up. What started as a small group of autoworkers fighting for dignity on the job in the 1930s grew into a movement that changed history, that rewrote not just the union contract but the social contract between the working class and the powers that be. Now that dream is under attack, and the question for our generation is simple: what are we willing to do to defend it, expand it, and protect it for future generations?

UAW: 4 Core Issues Video

Wages

We live in the richest country in the history of the world. Yet, a small handful of billionaires own as much wealth as the bottom 50 percent of the globe. That is a crisis. The strongest tool we have to fight income inequality is the wage growth provided by a union contract. We have fought at the bargaining table in every sector to raise the standards, end wage tiers, and enshrine equal work for equal pay. We have won COLA (cost-of-living adjustment) back from the Big Three to Daimler Truck to Cornell University to protect against inflation. We have secured and grown our profit-sharing checks to make sure the working class gets our fair share of the profits we create.

But we need to make sure that these economic proposals are enshrined in law, not just at the bargaining table. We must make sure everyone has a good, secure, union job that does not just put food on the table, but that restores the American Dream. One job should be enough, and everyone deserves a living wage without the threat of plant closures or attacks on our livelihoods.

How do we fight for wages and good union jobs in the halls of government?

  • Freedom to Form Unions

  • Strengthening Manufacturing

  • Affordability

  • Funding for Our Jobs

  • Education & Job Training

  • Health & Safety

Health Care

Around 40 percent of Americans have some form of medical debt. Every year, health care costs go up, while more people get sick or have to decide between seeing a doctor and putting food on the table, a roof over their heads, or sending their kids to school. Meanwhile, we spend more and more of our bargaining time and leverage on just making sure we can keep our health care instead of winning better wages or working conditions.

Our corporate health care system is a trap designed to keep the working class down. From the attacks on retiree health care at the Big Three and beyond, to massive health care premiums, sky-high deductibles, and shrinking networks, our health insurance system is broken. We must expand Medicare and Medicaid, and unrig the health care system in this country.

How do we fight for quality health care in the halls of government?

  • Medicare for All

  • De-Privatizing the Health Care System

  • Supporting Veterans

Retirement

“Too old to work, too young to die.” That was Walter Reuther’s rallying cry in the years long battle to win pensions at the Big Three. It captured the trap we are all put in after giving decades of our lives to these companies. Instead of rewarding those years of service, more and more companies are ditching pension plans and leaving people to fend for themselves. It’s unacceptable.

We are in a retirement crisis in this country, as the majority of Americans have no retirement savings. Not because they didn’t work hard, not because they didn’t save, but because we aren’t making enough money to put anything aside. A dignified retirement is a human right, but Corporate America hates pensions and ambitious social programs, since funding them often cuts into corporate bottom lines.

We have to bring back pensions, bring back retirement health care, and work to live, not live to work.

How do we fight for wages and good union jobs in the halls of government?

  • Pensions for All

  • Strengthening & Expanding Social Security

  • Retiree Health Care

Time Off

We work for a living not because we’re passionate about increasing shareholder value. We do it for all sorts of reasons, from providing for our families, to being able to pursue our hobbies or interests outside the workplace. No matter what keeps you going, everyone deserves a life off the job.

Nowadays, Americans are working longer hours for less pay. There’s less vacation time, longer shifts, and less time to rest, recover, and enjoy life. In our contracts, we fight for more vacation time, expanded family and medical leave, less mandatory overtime, and protections for work-life balance.

In the halls of power, we need legislators to understand that working people don’t just want to make a living, they want to have a life. 

That means an end to the system of overworking and underpaying working-class people, and worker control over new technologies like AI that threaten further disruption, from the bargaining table to the legislative halls.

How do we fight for time off in the halls of government?

  • Shorter Workweeks

  • Paid Leave
