uawd electric vehicle organizing committee
Organize with UAWD for a worker-led electric vehicle transition
The Big Three are gearing up to meet federally-set production goals of 50% EVs by 2030, with the transition threatening the jobs of 150,000 UAW members at GM, Ford, and Stellantis and additional members in Independents, Parts and Suppliers.
In response, we need a worker-led strategy to set the terms of the EV transition, instead of letting our employers call the shots. UAWD’s Electric Vehicle Organizing Committee (EVOC) is building an ambitious organizing strategy—join us!
