We Can Stop The Race To The Bottom: New Video
The latest video from the IUAW takes on the battery business and what it can be…
In a new video, UAW President Shawn Fain calls out the Big Three automakers for exploiting the electric vehicle (EV) transition to undercut auto industry standards and harm American communities. UAW Local 1112 (Region 2B) members at Ultium Cells, the General Motors electric vehicle battery joint venture with LG Energy Solution, share their experience of GM closing the Lordstown Assembly plant only to replace that work with low-paying, dangerous EV battery cell jobs.
“A new industry is being born. New standards are being set. This is our defining moment. It’s not just about Lordstown. The Big Three are building joint venture battery plants in Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee. And everywhere, our message is the same: Our communities and our country deserve good, safe, living-wage union jobs. It’s time to build an EV industry that puts workers first.”
