United Auto Workers' Leader Shawn Fain:
"The UAW will never support the mass arrest or intimidation of those exercising their right to protest, strike, or speak out against injustice.
Our union has been calling for a ceasefire for six months. This war is wrong, and this response against students and academic workers, many of them UAW members, is wrong.
We call on the powers that be to release the students and employees who have been arrested, and if you can’t take the outcry, stop supporting this war."

How important is it for organizations like unions to support the fight against what they see as injustice, even if it's not directly related to labor?
@ISIDEWITH3wks3W
How does the idea of a union defending the right to protest, regardless of the cause, resonate with you?
@9M2F3FN 3wks3W
It emphasises more that ever the right every student and citizen has to exercise their basic human right, and the union supporting that shouldn’t make the headlines for this because this should Infact be the norm.
