This is what happens when the working class uses their power to Stand Up, for their well deserved share of the economy that the working class creates and drives. Workers have the power to move the economy or shut it down!

Jim Cramer has to admit it. "I think that the UAW was underestimated the whole way... Fain just beat them everywhere. It was very much guerilla action. It was very smart... Fain was a great NFL coach who figured out all the weaknesses of the other team and just blew them away."

The UAW will never support the mass arrest or intimidation of those exercising their right to protest, strike, or speak out against injustice.

I am proud that the UAW International Union is calling for a ceasefire in Israel and Palestine. From opposing fascism in WWII to mobilizing against apartheid South Africa and the CONTRA war, the @UAW has consistently stood for justice across the globe..

Why do I call Donald Trump a SCAB, because that’s what he is, if you don’t believe me, let him tell you in his own words!

He's for the billionaires. Not for you. Donald Trump is a scab. #StandUpUAW

We just won a just transition at General Motors. Facing the threat of a strike at its most profitable plant, GM has agreed to put battery production under the master UAW contract. This is what winning looks like. #StandUpUAW

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.

Just another example in a long line of realities when the concentration of wealth is in the hands of the few, it only works for the few at the expense of everyone else.

One billionaire couple owns almost all the water in California. In 1994, the Resnicks secretly seized control of California’s public water supply. Now they’ve built a business empire by selling it back to the rest of us.

Unions are the vehicle to Working class solidarity, where workers will be able to take back their lives! When 26 billionaires have as much wealth as HALF OF HUMANITY, we have a crisis! All workers deserve a good living, not having to work 7 days a week,scraping to survive!

WATCH: @ShawnFainUAW on why he wants to organize non-union auto plants like Tesla: “The Elon Musks of the world—that's how billionaires get their money. They do it on the backs of the working class people.”

You're damn right. Don’t let them tell you it can’t be done. The working class is going on offense, and winning. GM and Stellantis up next.

Record profits mean record contracts. We have a tentative agreement at Ford. #StandUpUAW

We’re not gonna wait around forever. If Ford can’t get that after four weeks on strike, these 8,700 workers shutting down their biggest plant will help them understand it. #StandUpUAW

The Stand Up Strike just hit Ford's biggest plant. Here's how it went down, and why 8,700 members at Kentucky Truck Plant took action. #StandUpUAW

Proud to cast my vote for President @JoeBiden today, the first day of early in-person voting in the state of Michigan!
