After securing large pay raises and improved benefits from the biggest U.S. automakers, the United Auto Workers union is moving to unionize Tesla, Honda, Toyota and others.
“The union said the simultaneous push covers BMW, Honda, Hyundai, Lucid, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Rivian, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo. Forming unions at all of those companies would add 150,000 members to the UAW, according to the union. That would roughly double its size.”
it’s gonna be an interesting next few years
I might be blind but nowhere in the article does it say where workers actually wants to do it so far, more so the fact that UAW wants to convince them.

Maybe there is hope that the future will see better working conditions for everyone.
This is not news as the UAW would not be doing its job if it wasn’t pushing for more recruits after their recent contract negotiations.
And NBC would not be doing their job if they weren’t promoting the push.
It’s shaking up the landscape for sure. All those OEMs have increased pay and many have exceeded the increases of UAW.
It won’t matter, they’ll just keep outsourcing labor and remove the option entirely.
No factory workers are going to support it loudly. They don’t want to get fired
