UAW Predicts Historic Southern Organizing Wins in 2024, Cites Raises at Non-Union Plants
- UAW President Shawn Fain believes the union will make historic organizing gains at Southern auto plants in 2024
- Fain's comments come ahead of a union vote at Volkswagen's Chattanooga plant and organizing efforts at Mercedes in Tuscaloosa
- Fain says non-union automakers have recently announced raises and benefits improvements after last year's UAW strike
- Fain argues non-union automakers have made massive profits but pay workers less than unionized competitors
- The UAW is currently organizing drives at Hyundai's Montgomery plant and Mercedes' Tuscaloosa plant, with 30% and 5,000 signed union cards respectively
