Buy union! Check out UAW’s list of union-made 2014 vehicles
If you want to support good jobs by making sure the car you buy is made by union members, check out the UAW’s list of union-made vehicles. It features a variety of quality, fuel-efficient vehicles along with a number of new additions that represent new jobs for America’s workers.
UAW President Bob King says that in 2011, UAW members won investment and product commitments that led to some real increases in jobs for UAW members and others in jobs that support the auto industry throughout the United States.
We continue to see the results from that round of bargaining and will continue to press for more jobs for communities that are still recovering from the economic recession.
As for consumers, King says, “There’s plenty to choose from on this list, no matter what kind of vehicle you are looking for.” He adds:
Be assured that when you buy any car on this list that you are doing the utmost to support decent-paying jobs in communities across the United States.
The list also includes Canadian-assembled vehicles built by members of Unifor, formerly the Canadian Auto Workers union, because they include significant UAW-made content and support the jobs of UAW members.
