Alabama Political Reporter: “During a kickoff event for the Alabama Workers’ Week of Action, labor and community organization advocates discussed labor campaigns and events planned across the state. The event featured representatives of United Campus Workers, Jobs to Move America, Alabama Arise, the Southern Workers Assembly, UAW and CWA.
Luis Robledo highlighted that Hyundai-Kia was recently featured on NCOSH’s ‘Dirty Dozen’ list of unsafe working environments, and that 12 deaths and almost 1,000 workplace injuries occurred among workers in the car manufacturer’s supply chain from 2015 to 2025.
Adam Keller of Alabama Arise said: ‘We need both the community and unions working together to build that kind of people power, because it’s always taken people power in this country to make positive progress. We all deserve better.’”
