Comment from UAW President Shawn Fain on Mass Arrests of Anti-War Protestors

Photo of UAW President Shawn Fain testifying in front of the U.S. Senate HELP Committee regarding the 32-hour work week.

“The UAW will never support the mass arrest or intimidation of those exercising their right to protest, strike, or speak out against injustice. Our union has been calling for a ceasefire for six months. This war is wrong, and this response against students and academic workers, many of them UAW members, is wrong. We call on the powers that be to release the students and employees who have been arrested, and if you can’t take the outcry, stop supporting this war.”
