Poll Results: We Will Continue Striking.

Dear SWC,

On Tuesday, we sent a poll out to the unit to gauge support for continuing the strike. This was in fulfillment of our bylaws, which state that decisions about how long to strike will be made in consultation with the unit. According to the poll, 93% of strikers and 75% of non-strikers support continuing the strike.

We will be continuing our strike next week. As a reminder, for the purposes of UAW strike pay, the week runs from Wednesday-Tuesday; because of the Thanksgiving holiday, picketers only need to complete 4 hours of strike activity by Tuesday to receive strike pay. As always, please be in touch with an organizer if you need an exemption for strike hours.

We will continue to poll the unit weekly. If, at any point, a majority of those withholding labor AND a majority of those not withholding labor indicate that they do not want to continue the strike, we will move to a secret ballot to end the strike, in fulfillment of the UAW constitution.

In solidarity,

The Process Committee
