Just a few days ago, the UAW announced a campaign to unionize over a dozen non-union automakers in America. Now it’s reporting rapid progress, citing the example of 30% of workers at Volkswagen’s only U.S. plant having signed up in less than a week.

As fears spread among the companies that the effort to go union may quickly succeed, they have taken steps in response. Honda has set up its own anti-union campaign, distributing propaganda among the workers that encourages rejection of the union.

The unionization campaign was announced just a few days after the UAW’s strike victory against the “Big Three” auto companies amply demonstrated the benefits of unions, with raises expected to range from +33% to over +160% (after including forecasted COLA and CWIs) among other gains.

The UAW has set up websites where employees of every targeted company can easily join the union online. If you’re one, check them out below. And anyone can send them to friends, family and others.

After clicking the link, click the big “Sign your Union Card” button (scroll up if you don’t see it), fill in your details and check your email.

      I would say the reason antiwork exists is because of the culture we cultivated, the very same unions work to change

            Are you trolling?

            No.

            What do you think antiwork stands for?

            It’s not clear what you’re referring to with “antiwork” here. The description of this Lemmy community, which is the critical matter, is as follows:

            “A community for those who want to end work, are curious about ending work, want to get the most out of a work-free life, want more information on anti-work ideas and want personal help with their own jobs/work-related struggles.”

                  Because you’re the person surprised that antiwork has anything to do with people that work. I’m not quoting anyone, I’m demarcating the words I’m asking you to look for.

                    I’ve no idea what you’re talking about. You’re not making sense. I have not said I am surprised that antiwork has anything to do with people that work.

            But it’s not antiwork and it’s not what the community is about.

                  Don’t lie.

                  A community for those who want to end work, are curious about ending work, want to get the most out of a work-free life, want more information on anti-work ideas and want personal help with their own jobs/work-related struggles.

                  Why would you seek to end work if you’re not working?

                  Why would you have work related struggles without a job?

                  How are workers irrelevant to discussions about jobs?

                    You’re asking questions as though I’ve said things that I haven’t.

          Antiwork can be silly but it’s not exclusively made up of a bunch of unemployed people
