While we’re reminded of the GM strike of 2019 during this current 2023 contract fight, there is something different about this moment. It’s only been weeks since the Teamsters negotiated and won the end-of-tier systems and converted 15,000 part-time positions into 7,500 full-time jobs at UPS. Not only are major wins possible, the community believes it too.

United Auto Workers are on strike at the Big Three (Ford, Stellantis, and General Motors). This is a historic moment for auto workers and their communities, and the first time all three companies have forced simultaneous strikes. Workers at Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis are unified in their demands and wielding their collective power to “stand up” and strike!
