We are a union that works hard to build a better future by raising the standard of living of it's members; By improving their working conditions and by protecting workers against injustice on the job and in their community. Our union believes that the future can be what the people want to make it. We have joined together in the UAW to make our lives and the lives of our families more secure by using our union's democratic processes to win higher wages, greater protection, better living conditions, and retirement security. With our wives (or husbands), children, parents and other dependants there are approximately four million of us. Hundreds of thousands of us are women. Thousands of us are minority groups. We are not sure of these statistics because we don't ask and we don't care except to remedy an injustice resulting from the fact of unequal opportunity for any one of us. We are people, all kinds of people---- But because we are UAW----- we are in one important respect not like any other people. We in the UAW are Believers-- Believers in justice; Believers in the capacity of men and women to remake their world according to their moral convictions; Believers who call meetings, who go to conferences, who write and distribute leaflets, appear before legislatures and congress, send letters, e-mails and make phone calls to politicians, wear buttons, make demands on companies, on the community, on society. We have made civil and human rights our vital concern; We join with all our heart in the war against poverty; We work with our union brothers and sisters throughout the world to fight injustices practiced by the global corporations. When we bargain with the giant corporations, we seek more than wage increases or improvements in working conditions. We SEEK HUMAN DIGNITY, COMPASSION FOR OUR OLD AND ILL, AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!!!!!

WE ARE THE UAW
