United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain spoke out during an online broadcast to provide an update for union members regarding negotiations with the Detroit automakers on Oct. 6, 2023.
The United Auto Workers has filed unfair labor practice charges against Honda Motor, Hyundai Motor, and Volkswagen, accusing them of unlawfully interfering with worker organizing. They claim management at multiple facilities has participated in illegal “union-busting as workers organize to join the UAW.”
Responding to the allegations, a spokesperson for Honda and Hyundai said it is up to workers to decide whether to join a union and disputed the union’s claims.
“The union’s characterization of events in its press statement do not present an accurate picture, and we look forward to having a fair opportunity to present the facts through our participation in the legal process,” Hyundai said in a statement.
The UAW provided the filings to CNBC, and the actions leading to the allegations against the employers occurred during the last six months, according to the filings, which were signed by UAW outside counsel Benjamin Dictor, an attorney with New York-based Eisner Dictor & Lamadrid.
The charges come roughly two weeks after the UAW said it was launching an unprecedented campaign to organize 13 nonunion automakers in the U.S. after it secured record contracts with the three Detroit automakers — General Motors, Ford Motor, and Stellantis.
During an online broadcast Monday night, Fain detailed additional measures of the organizing campaigns, including a “30-50-70 strategy,” referring to voting percentages in support or union organizing.
