UAWD Committees
To join a committee, email UAWD at [email protected].
Organizing Commitee
We are building support for a democratic, militant UAW through organizing our coworkers on the shop floor. Our first task is supporting the contract fight across Big 3 Locals!
Electric Vehicle Committee
We need a worker-led strategy to set the terms of the EV transition, instead of letting our employers call the shots.
International Solidarity Committee
We are building international solidarity, with a particular focus on engaging with the independent union movement in Mexico.
Education Committee
We organize member education and training ranging from UAW history to union leadership skills.
Diversity Committee
We educate around and respond to all forms of oppression, particularly racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and ableism that affect UAW members.
