UAWD Bargaining Convention HQ

The 2023 UAW Special Bargaining Convention is a historic opportunity to change our union for the better. Here at uawd.org/convention2023, you can find the latest updates from UAWD about what’s happening at the Convention.

UAWD is a caucus of UAW members founded in 2020 to organize for a more democratic and accountable union. We led the campaign to win One Member, One Vote in 2021, and we supported the UAW Members United slate for International Executive Board in 2022. In 2023, we pledge to build democratic, militant contract campaigns in Big 3 Locals together!
