The UAW concluded its Special Bargaining Convention today, with members taking up issues of work schedules, the contractual right to honor other unions\u2019 picket lines, and more.<\/p>\n

UAW Vice President Chuck Browning gave rousing remarks about the unity of the newly-elected International Executive Board. \u201cThere is only one agenda on this board,\u201d Browning said.\u00a0 \u201cIt is the membership\u2019s agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n

He then issued a warning to corporate America: \u201cTo our enemies, who are not in this room; to the rich and powerful that want to attack labor; to the employers that want to make profits at our expense and through the exploitation of workers; let the world hear, we\u2019re united when it comes to our enemies and our bargaining. We\u2019re sticking together and taking on the boss.\u201d<\/p>\n

Browning\u2019s comments were met with raucous cheers from delegates, and chants of \u201cU-A-W!\u201d<\/p>\n

In his closing remarks, President Shawn Fain echoed the message of power through unity: \u201cIf we stand together, they will not break us. Our power is in our members. It\u2019s not who\u2019s up on this stage. It\u2019s in you all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Proceedings ended with a standing ovation from delegates and our union\u2019s anthem,\u201cSolidarity Forever.\u201d<\/p>\n
