Just a few days ago, the UAW announced a campaign to unionize over a dozen non-union automakers in America. Now it’s reporting rapid progress, citing the example of 30% of workers at Volkswagen’s only U.S. plant having signed up in less than a week.

As fears spread among the companies that the effort to go union may quickly succeed, they have taken steps in response. Honda has set up its own anti-union campaign, distributing propaganda among the workers that encourages rejection of the union.

The unionization campaign was announced just a few days after the UAW’s strike victory against the “Big Three” auto companies amply demonstrated the benefits of unions, with raises expected to range from +33% to over +160% (after including forecasted COLA and CWIs) among other gains.

The UAW has set up websites where employees of every targeted company can easily join the union online. If you’re one, check them out below. And anyone can send them to friends, family and others.

After clicking the link, click the big “Sign your Union Card” button (scroll up if you don’t see it), fill in your details and check your email.

    But it’s not antiwork and it’s not what the community is about.

          Don’t lie.

          A community for those who want to end work, are curious about ending work, want to get the most out of a work-free life, want more information on anti-work ideas and want personal help with their own jobs/work-related struggles.

          Why would you seek to end work if you’re not working?

          Why would you have work related struggles without a job?

          How are workers irrelevant to discussions about jobs?

            You’re asking questions as though I’ve said things that I haven’t.

              But you did. You said that the community’s description indicates it isn’t about work or work reform. I pointed out three points made in the description that are specifically about work.

              Why are you so reluctant to pin your point down and discuss?

                I pointed out three points made in the description that are specifically about work.

                Two of the points are not about work per se but specifically about ending work. Labour organising is not ending work. In fact labour organising is specifically for the purpose of continuing to work.

                The third point is about personal work-related struggles. This post is not a community member seeking personal help with work-related struggles.

                  …what exactly do you think antiwork means? Specifically, what do you think “ending work” entails? Because it isn’t everyone stopping labouring.

                    what exactly do you think antiwork means?

                    It doesn’t matter. What matters is what this community is about. This community is about being idle, not labour organising. Look at the community’s icon. Note the presence of In Praise of Idleness by Bertrand Russell on the community’s reading list.

                    Because it isn’t everyone stopping labouring.

                    You’ve introduced a new term here, “everyone”. You’re clearly thinking in terms of social movements like socialism or communism. This community isn’t about a social movement.
