It was a pleasure to meet with members of @uawregion6.bsky.social last week to discuss the need for Congress to support scientists and workers. As an original co-sponsor of the PRO Act, I believe in the right to organize and bargain for higher wages, better benefits, and safer workplaces.

UAW 4121 president Natalie Wellen in support: at UW we've already seen impact of cuts reducing jobs, less support for students.

"We want to see our state meet this moment with bold ideas to immediately safeguard education and health care, not further cuts"

From research to resistance, UC graduate students find purpose in union organizing Graduate student workers joined UAW 4811 to advocate for better working conditions, including legal protections for international students, better pay and job security.

“If you have an opportunity to stand up and you can do it with a greater degree of safety than a lot of your colleagues do or can, then you have an obligation to. Everyone has an obligation to do what they can.”

UAW 4121 is, imo, the most underestimated political organization in the city. They have decades of institutional experience organizing student workers for big wins against the UW, which is arguably more powerful than city hall. Wilson’s campaign is the first to really capture that energy, imo.

Meet the auto union boss taking a swing at renewable energy policy Conventional thinking says UAW is a surprising sponsor for a renewable energy bill, but Mike Miller, the union’s region six director, doesn’t agree.

"We think that one of the best ways to have the collective political will to [address climate change quickly] is to have a strategic industrial policy that creates good middle class manufacturing jobs in sectors...like batteries, building decarbonization, heat pumps" www.politico.com/newsletters/...
