Summary of UAW Strike Assistance Rules

Strike assistance is provided by Article 12, Section 14 of the UAW Constitution* and is based in accordance with the rules and regulations of the UAW International Executive Board.

 

Eligibility Rules

Most U.S. workers have the legal right to form a union with co-workers and negotiate a binding contract with their employer over pay, benefits, and other work conditions. However, only about 12 percent of us have exercised those rights.

What distinguishes UAW members and our brothers and sisters in other unions from the mostly non-unionized workforce is that we are organized and can bargain contracts that positively impact not only us and our families, but also those non-unionized employees and our country’s economy in the resulting positive ripple effect.

We need your help!
