UAW’s PARTNERSHIP WITH MARCH OF DIMES - JOIN THE 2025 MARCH for BABIES UAW NATIONAL TEAM!

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

UAW’s partnership with March of Dimes began in the 1940s when then-President Walter Reuther solicited labor members for dimes to help cure polio. I am proud to say that UAW has been a part of March of Dimes from the start, and our current efforts are critical as the U.S. is facing a maternal and infant health crisis. Families today need us now more than ever.  

JOIN THE 2025 MARCH for BABIES UAW NATIONAL TEAM!

President Fain's remarks from April 10 Livestream - Our Economy, Our Country, Our Union

Our mission, no matter which industry, which company, which President is in the White House, is to take our power back and raise the standard for the working class. So I’m going to talk about three things tonight. First, I am going to discuss where we stand as a union in this political moment. Next, I’m going to talk about the political attacks happening against the working class. Lastly, I’m going to discuss what is happening in the auto industry and why our union is hellbent on ending the free trade disaster of the last thirty years.
