The UAW extends our deepest gratitude to every veteran who has served our nation. This Veterans Day, we honor your service, recognize your sacrifices, and thank you for answering a call that asked so much of you and your families. To veterans of every branch and generation, whether you served at home or overseas, in times of war or peace: your service matters. We recognize the time spent away from loved ones, the demands of military life, and the sacrifices that do not always receive public recognition. Our thanks extend to the families and loved ones who stood beside you throughout your service and beyond. To the veterans within our UAW family, our members, retirees, and their loved ones—thank you for being part of our union. The spirit of looking out for one another is at the heart of solidarity. Today, we reaffirm that veterans belong in that circle of care, respect, and support. Honoring veterans must extend beyond a single day. It means listening to your experiences, respecting the different paths you have traveled, and standing beside you as neighbors, coworkers, and friends. I encourage our UAW family to take a moment to thank a veteran, reach out to someone who served, and carry that appreciation into the days ahead. To all veterans: thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and the example of commitment you have given us. On Veterans Day and throughout the year, please know that you have our gratitude and our respect.

Three truths: All workers - no matter their industry, pay, or background - deserve a union. Collective bargaining is how workers get their fair share. Strikes are necessary when the boss refuses to listen to reason and is denying you basic fairness and dignity on the job.

The UAW is the largest union in Michigan. With 350,000 active and retired members, we are reasserting our political power in the Great Lakes State. In 2026, we built an aggressive program led by members engaging other members and their families, focused on state and federal districts critical to flipping the US House where UAW members made up more than the margin of victory — while also winning all our statewide endorsements for U.S. Senate, Governor, Secretary of State, and Attorney General. We flexed our political muscle up and down the ballot. Here are the results at the Congressional and State Legislative levels. (1/3)
