@labornotes.bsky.socialTurnout was up in Local 4811 at the University of California, which went 75 percent for Fain, but still only 2,500 of 60,000 members there voted. As in the last election, it was members in the big manufacturing locals that were key to Fain’s victory 2/2 labornotes.org/2026/10/uaw-...
@labornotes.bsky.socialWhile some expected Fain’s strongest support to come from the higher education and legal aid locals on the East Coast, turnout there was down by more than half from 2022, with fewer than 2,000 ballots counted 1/2

@labornotes.bsky.socialIt’s a rare and moving portrait of a massive, diverse group of workers building themselves into a fighting force, who then must wrestle with a different version of victory than they expected, writes @lfelizleon.bsky.social labornotes.org/blogs/2026/1...
@labornotes.bsky.socialThe Delivery Protection Act would require Amazon, alongside FedEx and other companies, to directly employ drivers rather than rely on third-party subcontractors.
It would also establish safety, training, and labor standards for delivery drivers labornotes.org/2026/10/amaz...
