Throw this on the pile of UAW nonsense: the leadership basically lied at the most recent convention and undercounted their accounting value (including the strike fund) by nearly $500,000,000 dollars https://theintercept.com/2022/11/16/uaw-union-election-strike-fund/ I really hope these scumbags get ousted, but even if some do there's a long road ahead for these institutions to actually start loving using their massive resources to fuel organizing efforts instead of just sitting on huge piles of investment cash and real estate.

the UAW Members United people have been sending me tons of long campaign emails. makes me kind of worried that they're online-only meme candidates a la shahid buttar

nah they have a real presence in the union, their caucus was able to make actual reformist changes to the constitution at the convention which was the first time anything got passed against leadership's will in like 30+ years. They face a lot of institutional challenges and I wouldn't be surprised if some their candidates lose since it's the first time running anybody and the caucus has only been around for 3 years or so. But if you care about the direction of the UAW you should not only vote for that slate but look into UAWD, they'll be doing rnf work win or lose. The turbo online meme candidate is will Lehman some WSWS.org freak who wants to abolish the UAW bc it's a decadent 1st world labor aristocracy or something.

one of the most important things of labor organizing is being able to Shut Da gently caress Up which is why trots struggle so much with it

theres another turbo-online candidacy but its a boomer midwest guy who posts poo poo on facebook 24/7 about kicking people's asses and i think he actually has somewhat of a following in michigan which houses the majority of UAW membership, especially retirees. the presidential ballot is gonna split really weirdly b/w these fringes, the most hated incumbent in history and a reformist caucus w/ not a lot of history. i cant wait for the results

mildly concerning https://twitter.com/payusmoreucsc/status/1593656162431356929?s=20&t=55lZ8SfUjAX8y0efz9bCgg pretty sure the berekley, sc, and la membership will literally lynch the bargaining unit if they do a formal proposal to strip cola langauge from bargaining.

I'm hearing that the bargaining team did in fact vote to remove COLA from the list of demands. Hope everyone on the line organizes a No vote if they try to push a weak contract through ratification

i was at one of the huge rallies on friday and a couple people were walking through the crowd handing out a huge pile of flyers with WSWS branding saying that it had happened on thursday and everyone needs to organize a recall of the bargaining team. it seems like a cointelpro style organized disinformation campaign at this point

very bizarre. I'm just skittish bc ive send first-hand what UAW international staff have done to gently caress with contracts, demands and strategies, even specifically in higher Ed strike campaigns and don't put anything past them. A COLA win at this scale, especially after decades of cola protections basically being a total dream, would be so incredibly inspiring and I really hope you all pull it off

well, there's nobody from UAW International on the bargaining team, it's just the elected unit chair and recording secretary from each campus plus i guess some of the statewide elected leadership, who are all members of the locals. idk how much influence the parent org really has over us, the first time i ever saw anyone from international in like 10 years was a couple weeks ago when they came to teach us how to sign people up for strike pay (I've never been part of elected leadership tho). it could be possible that they're pushing us to settle behind the scenes but i haven't heard any gossip to that effect. Where are you hearing that the cola demand was dropped?

i figured that if it was anything it was going to be a supposal. kind of surprised that UC didn't even react to the suggestion though
