3 reasons the UAW is having success in organizing Southern workers – with two Mercedes plants in Alabama the next face-off
The Mercedes auto workers will vote on union membership in mid-May.

UAW 4811, representing almost 50K student workers at the University of California, votes to strike over UC response to student pro-Palestine protests.
'The union has five demands, including amnesty for students and faculty who were arrested, as well as divestment from companies that are profiting from the war in Gaza. They also want researchers to be able to opt out from funding sources tied to the military or "oppression of Palestinians."'

UAW Local 4811, which represents academic student workers at the University of California, authorized a strike vote in response to this morning's attack on the Gaza Solidarity Encampment at UCLA.
"At an emergency executive board meeting this morning, our union’s leadership voted to hold a strike authorization vote as early as next week to give the Executive Board authority to call a strike if circumstances justify: should the university decide to curtail the right to participate in protected, concerted activity; discriminate against union members or political viewpoints; and create or allow threats to members’ health and safety, among others, UAW 4811 members will take any and all actions necessary to enforce our rights."
