Workers at Honda, Hyundai, and Volkswagon are filing unfair labor charges against the auto manufacturers.
The workers say the companies are guilty of anti-union efforts.
UAW leadership says thousands of non-union autoworkers across the country are working to organize. Workers in Indiana, Alabama, and Tennessee have filed charges. UAW President Shawn Fain says the gains made during the UAW workers strike is what sparked these efforts around the country.
“They were tuning into our Facebook Live updates, our stories,” Fain said. “They made their own stickers with our UAW wheel, and they posted all over the non-union plants. This wasn’t us, the UAW going out and trying to organize these workers. This was these non-union workers banging on our door to join our UAW family.”
If workers at these plants are able to unionize, it could add 150,000 members to the UAW. That would be double the current membership.
