Workers are walking out at non-union Toyota plants in Alabama in response to forced overtime and rotating shifts. Can the fight to take back our time be a lightning rod for union campaigns?

For the US labor movement, the UAW’s divestment from Israel bonds, decided by members at the union’s 39th Constitutional Convention, in June 2026, after decades of rank-and-file organizing, marks a significant step toward making international solidarity a reality—but there’s still a long way to go.
The UAWD Steering Committee shares a political analysis of the 2022 Constitutional Convention, our lessons learned in the ensuing years of organizing within the UAW, and UAWD’s membership-approved program for the 2026 ConCon. UAWD is encouraging UAW members across the country to bring the program to their locals to show their coworkers how we can chart a new path of class struggle unionism beyond the confines of the Convention floor in June.
It’s us vs. them! To face the threats to the working class and build a better world, UAWD believes a vision of class struggle for the UAW is essential. We must advance from individual examples of militancy, cohering a movement that can combat the entire global system of exploitation.
