The following resolution passed at the UAWD Special Membership Meeting held on May 7, 2023.
Whereas:
1. The demand “30 Hours of Work for 40 Hours of Pay” is critical to meet the challenge of job elimination posed by the shift to EV’s.
2. Today Stellantis announced the permanent elimination of 3500 production jobs in this transition.
Be it resolved:
1. UAWD, led by our Education Committee, will organize a hybrid in-person and online conference on this topic for the upcoming contract, including relevant topics relating to the EV transition, work-week scheduling, and other relevant contract demands.
2. The conference could take up the history of the struggle for 30 for 40, especially within the UAW itself. Also, the demand is starting to be raised internationally and we could look at this effort as well.
