Webinar: Building Power Through Coordinated Bargaining and Contract Alignment

National contracts with a common employer, like UPS or the Big 3 automakers, offer workers incredible power.

But many of us are not so lucky—we work under fragmented local contracts, with little to no coordination among bargaining units even when we’re fighting the same employer.

Join us for this discussion about how unions are coordinating bargaining and even aligning their contracts to maximize leverage in negotiations.

We'll also discuss relevant takeaways for workers seeking to align contracts leading up to the UAW's call for unified action on May Day 2028.

This panel will feature:
- Francisco Ortiz, the president of United Teachers Richmond in California

- Jane Fox, a unit chair in UAW Local 2325, the Association of Legal Aid Attorneys

- Chris Spurlock, a steward in Teamsters Local 135 at Zenith Logistics, a third-party operator for Kroger

When: Monday July 21
Time: 7 p.m. to 8:30 pm ET
