UAW President Shawn Fain Highlights Election Stakes and Political Strategy
In a new video, UAW President Shawn Fain discusses the critical stakes of the upcoming election and the union’s strategy focused on working-class unity against Donald Trump and the billionaire class, building on the Stand Up Strike successes of 2023.

“What we win or lose now,” says Fain, “will affect every contract negotiation and organizing campaign, determining our progress for a generation. Everything is at stake.”
“Last fall, America’s autoworkers decided it was time to stand up and unite the entire working class. That’s our winning formula.”
“Donald Trump’s dream is a divided working class. They divide us by race, gender, and other factors. That’s the wealthy’s game: divide and conquer.”
“The only answer to our national threat is solidarity.”
The video follows two major Harris-Walz campaign events with the UAW in Michigan, after the union’s recent endorsement of Harris for President.
