Fellow workers, Today I filed a federal lawsuit against the UAW and the court-appointed Monitor demanding swift action to guarantee the right to vote in the first-ever direct elections for international office. Just 9 percent of UAW members’ ballots have been received by the Monitor so far because workers don’t know about the elections, and there are widespread reports of workers not receiving ballots. My lawsuit demands reasonable relief: extend all voting-related deadlines by 30 days and take real action to inform the entire membership that the election is taking place. The entrenched UAW leadership is not taking real measures to inform members of their right to vote or to provide them with ballots in a timely manner because they don’t want workers to kick them out! This is a blatant violation of our rights as rank-and-file members of the UAW. This case is about fighting for the rights of all UAW members. This election will not be legitimate unless we get a real voice Below, I’m linking to the announcement of the lawsuit demanding the elections deadlines be extended. I want to ask you to do three things: Share the statement about the lawsuit widely with your coworkers and on social media. Make sure other workers are informed of what’s at stake in these elections!
Demand that the election deadlines be extended so that every worker can get a ballot who wants one and can have their votes count.
Lastly, I need your financial support. Filing this lawsuit costs money, as does everything else I’m fighting to do to make workers aware of the elections and my campaign’s call for rank-and-file power. I ask that you donate whatever you can right away.
