Episode 15: On the UAW Picket Lines
The UAW’s Stand Up Strike is alive and growing. Some 25,000 autoworkers across the Big Three — Ford, GM and Stellantis — are on strike across 21 states.
In this episode, we bring you to the UAW picket lines and rallies across three states — Michigan, Ohio and New York. You’ll hear the perspectives and stories of over a dozen rank-and-file autoworkers, as well as direct interviews with UAW President Shawn Fain and other union leaders.
UAW autoworkers Teddy interviewed for this episode explain the stakes and key demands of their fight, how it’s gotten to this point, and what the renewed militancy of their union means to them.
