On April 1, membership in the United Auto Workers (UAW) union fell 3.3% to 370,000 in 2023, the first increase since 2009, according to a report received by the U.S. Department of Labor on Friday. the lowest level since.

A spokesperson for the UAW union said that they are clearly aware that the union and many industries have been moving in the wrong direction for many years, so they have made a historic commitment to organize other companies in the auto industry, tens of thousands of highly educated workers and everyone in core industries from heavy trucks to farm machinery to aerospace. Next month, workers at Volkswagen's Chattanooga, Tennessee, assembly plant will vote April 17-19 on whether to join a union, which will be a major test for the UAW's organizing efforts.
