Shoutout to Local 7650’s Aurora Green & Peter Howe, who worked as union release staff here in Region 9A since August as part of the national UAW Power Squad.

Thanks to their efforts alongside the Maine AFL-CIO, UAW members knocked over 3,000 doors and reached 4,000 voters in Maine, making a critical difference to get Senator-elect Troy Jackson across the finish line! 💪

On Tuesday, UAW members got three of our own elected to Congress from Region 9A!

In Maine, former Local 2320 member Troy Jackson was elected to the U.S. Senate, beating longtime anti-union incumbent Susan Collins. A fifth-generation logger, Troy walked the picket line during Bath Marine Draftsmen's Association's strike at Bath Iron Works earlier this year and stood with the UMaine Grad Workers Union in their fight for a first contract. UAW members led the way, joining the Maine AFL-CIO and other unions to canvass for Troy, who will be a leading voice of the working class in Washington.

In New York, Local 2110 member Claire Valdez and UAW 2325 member Darializa Avila Chevalier handily earned over 80% of the vote after emerging victorious from competitive primary races earlier this year. Darializa won with the widest margin of any New York Congressional race this year. Claire, a committed organizer and unit chair in her local, earned the endorsement of over 30 other unions.

Congratulations, Troy Jackson! Our members in Maine are excited to have a lifelong union member and working-class champion in the U.S. Senate.

Triumph Group can't rake in $687 million in the last five years and then cry broke when it comes time to bargain a contract with the workers who generate the profits.

UAW Local 405 members will be on the picket line for as long as it takes to win the contract they deserve.

UAW family, it's Election Day! Make sure your voice is heard and go vote 🗳️

Despite Triumph Group amassing $687 million in profit over the last five years, the company continues to insult its workers by refusing to negotiate a contract that addresses their core demands.

The clock is ticking as the October 31 contract expiration approaches, and our UAW Local 405 family is ready to do whatever it takes to get the contract they deserve.
