Texas AFL-CIO Statement of Solidarity on UAW Auto Strike Coming to Texas Facilities
As the United Auto Workers strike spreads to Texas facilities, the Texas
AFL-CIO, on behalf of our 240,000 members, supports and stands in
complete solidarity with striking UAW workers in our state and beyond.
We are grateful to the thousands of UAW members who have put it all on
the line for their jobs, their families and our communities. The livelihoods of
workers everywhere are at stake, and we will honor this struggle by
supporting it with everything we have. We call on all our members, retirees
and allies to do the same.
We also call on the “Big 3” to negotiate in good faith toward a fair contract.
Stop hoarding your billions of dollars in profits and provide the workers who
created that wealth their fair share.
In this season, where so many workers are realizing the power of their
collective action, we intend to do everything in our power to support UAW
strikers until victory is in hand.
