About UAWD
Our Movement
Unite All Workers for Democracy (UAWD) is a grassroots movement of rank-and-file UAW members, united in our vision of class struggle unionism and fighting to build a militant, democratic UAW.
UAWD led the campaign for—and won—One Member One Vote, the system for directly electing our International Executive Board in the UAW. Now we’re building our movement, from organizing rank-and-file members to beat the bosses on the shop floor to knitting together UAW members across the country in the class struggle. Are you in?
What We Stand For
Our Member Platform
UAWD members have committed to a vision of class struggle unionism. We believe that class struggle is an ongoing effort we take collectively against the ruling class, through bottom-up organizing on the shop floor and in communities, to win the collective liberation of the working class around the world.
Our Bylaws
UAWD members are committed to democratic governance of our organization, under our Bylaws, just as we’re committed to building a militant, democratic UAW.
Our Resolutions
All UAWD members can attend our quarterly membership meetings and propose resolutions for our membership to consider.
