UAW President Shawn Fain Holding Facebook Live at 8 p.m. ET on the Central Question of the Election: Which Side Are You On?

President Fain will highlight recent polling showing effectiveness of union’s large-scale member engagement program and will field questions from members 

Detroit – On Tuesday, October 29 at 8:00 pm, UAW President Shawn Fain will address UAW rank-and-file members in a virtual livestream to directly reach undecided voters and fulfill the union’s constitutional duty to “play an active role at all levels of government to protect the lives and rights of its members and their families.” 

He will highlight the choices members face in the upcoming election, contrasting the two presidential candidates and drawing the direct connection between the ballot box and the bread box. 

His remarks will underscore how this election is about making clear who is on the side of the working class and using the union’s strength in numbers to support leaders who will stand with workers in critical fights—like those who have stood with UAW members in the union’s ongoing battle to make Stellantis keep its promise to autoworkers. His message will clarify that this election is not about endorsing a single party or candidate, but rather about advancing the needs of the working class and casting votes for candidates who support working-class interests. 

President Fain will present a fact-based overview contrasting the two candidates’ positions, particularly on trade, labor law, and other policies that affect manufacturing, and discuss the effectiveness of the union’s large-scale election program in reaching members directly. 

The media will be invited to join the livestream on the UAW’s YouTube channel or social media accounts (Facebook or Twitter). 

President Fain will also take live questions directly from UAW members. 

WHO: UAW President Shawn Fain 
WHAT: Election 2024 Livestream  
WHERE: Livestream on UAW YouTube, social media (Facebook, Twitter) 
WHEN: Tues., Oct. 29, at 8 p.m. ET 

The UAW’s roadmap for victory aligns with the vision behind 2023’s Stand Up strike and movement. By setting the record straight, uniting the working class, and empowering members to lead, the UAW’s “Stand Up, Speak Up, Show Up” campaign will channel the collective power of the union to curb corporate greed at the ballot box.
