Want to organize your workplace?

In UAW Region 9A, workers across industries—from manufacturing to museums to movie theaters—are organizing our workplaces in order to build a fighting labor movement that has the power to take on corporate greed, win social justice, and fight for the entire working class.

If you work in New England, downstate New York, or Puerto Rico, we want to hear from you! Contact us and a Region 9A organizer will be in touch as soon as possible.
