UAW’s Stand Up Strike: A New Way to Fight for Fair Contracts

The United Auto Workers (UAW) union has launched a new strategy to pressure the Big Three automakers to negotiate fair contracts for its members. The strategy, called the Stand Up Strike, involves selective and escalating walkouts at different plants, instead of a simultaneous and indefinite strike at all facilities.

The Stand Up Strike is designed to give the UAW more leverage and flexibility in its bargaining with General Motors (GM), Ford, and Stellantis. By targeting specific plants that are crucial for the companies’ production and profits, the UAW can inflict economic pain and uncertainty on the automakers, while minimizing the impact on its own members and the public. The Stand Up Strike also allows the UAW to adjust its tactics and demands according to the progress of the negotiations, and to escalate to a full-scale strike if necessary.

The Stand Up Strike is inspired by the historic Sit-Down Strikes of 1937, when UAW workers occupied several GM plants and won recognition and rights for the union. The UAW sees the Stand Up Strike as a way to revive the spirit and power of the labor movement, which has been declining for decades due to globalization, automation, outsourcing, and anti-union policies. The UAW also hopes to end the tiered wage system that creates inequality and resentment among its members, and to secure better pay, benefits, and working conditions for all workers.

The Stand Up Strike began on October 1, 2023, when UAW members at GM’s Flint Assembly Plant in Michigan walked off the job. Since then, the UAW has expanded the strike to include several other GM plants, as well as some Ford and Stellantis plants. The strike has affected the production and sales of the Big Three, as well as their suppliers and dealers. The strike has also drawn support and solidarity from other unions, politicians, celebrities, and activists.

On November 4, 2023, the UAW announced that it had reached a tentative agreement with GM, the last holdout of the Big Three. The agreement, which still needs to be ratified by the UAW members, includes a 25% wage increase over the life of the contract, which runs until September 2027, as well as a gradual elimination of the tiered wage system. The agreement also guarantees job security, investment, and product allocation for the UAW plants, and preserves health care and retirement benefits. The UAW hailed the agreement as a historic victory, and said that it would end the Stand Up Strike once the deal is approved.

The Stand Up Strike is a new and innovative way for workers to fight for their rights and interests in the 21st century. It shows that workers can still have a voice and a say in their industry and society, and that they can challenge the power and greed of the corporations. The Stand Up Strike is a model and a message for other unions and workers who are facing similar struggles and challenges.
