Third Time’s the Charm: Michigan Science Center Workers Win Big Union Victory with UAW

After three organizing drives, the workers never gave up — and the third time was the charm. With over 90% voting YES, these workers made it clear they are ready to stand together and have a voice on the job.

Please help us welcome the newest members of the UAW family.

Director LaShawn English spoke with the newly organized unit and reminded them that winning a union is just the beginning. First contracts can take time, but Region 1 is ready to stand shoulder to shoulder with them every step of the way.

Congratulations to the newly organized Michigan Science Center workers. Your fight, persistence, and solidarity paid off. Welcome to the UAW.
