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.

    When they spend money to keep you from unionizing, you know that their aim is to fuck you over.

      “We can’t afford to pay you better sorry”

      “but all we want is for you to pay us a little bit better and give us a bit more flexibility with taking time off”

      -> company proceeds to dump a massive amount of money into fighting the formation of a union

      … “right so where did all that extra fucking money come from all of a sudden that you said you didn’t have to pay us with?”
