UAW President Shawn Fain Visits UAW Members in Maine
This week, UAW President Shawn Fain traveled to Maine to deliver the keynote address at the Maine AFL-CIO Convention, where he met members from Locals 2110 (Portland Museum of Art), 2320 (Pine Tree Legal Assistance, Food And Medicine), 3999 (Bath Iron Works), and the UMaine Grad Workers Union—who have been bargaining for a first contract for over 700 days.
“I love being here in Maine with our members because they show the diversity of our union and what we're all about,” President Fain said to the convention. “And not just our union, but of our movement and of the entire working class.” Watch his full keynote address on YouTube.
On Friday, President Fain met with BMDA Local 3999 members at Bath Iron Works preparing for bargaining with their upcoming expiration in March 2026. After supporting MDA Local 571’s inspiring contract campaign in Connecticut, BMDA members are getting ready to win the strongest contract possible for their membership in 2026.
