What are the steps leading up to a strike by HGSU-UAW?

The potential for a strike begins with a Strike Authorization Vote (“SAV”) by HGSU-UAW’s members. According to the UAW Constitution, all HGSU-UAW members must be given due notice that the vote is happening, and to pass, it requires a two-thirds majority of voting members in good standing. If/when HGSU-UAW achieves a SAV, they will need final approval for a strike from the UAW International Executive Board. Once authorized by the International Executive Board, a strike is not automatic, but the HGSU-UAW’s elected bargaining team could call a strike at any time.
