Volkswagen can come to the table with autoworkers in Chattanooga and give them the dignity, wages, and safety they deserve. We’ve seen them do it with international auto workers. It shouldn’t be different for workers in Chattanooga, TN. Avoid a strike and meet the reasonable demands, VW!!

Kilmar Abrego Garcia will be checking in at ICE HQ in Baltimore. Federal prosecutors have said if he could be deported to Uganda in 72 hours if he doesn’t accept a plea deal to human smuggling charges in Tennessee. A rally is being held before his 8a check in.

“Worker power is not based in the National Labor Relations Act. The NLRA is based in worker power.
They can’t take that power away, because they didn’t give it to us.”

It’s hot outside ☀️🌡️🥵
Extreme heat is a threat to worker safety.
1 in 3 workers is regularly exposed to the outdoors as part of their job, especially in construction or on farms. Indoor jobs in places like warehouses can be dangerously hot, too.
