Building a Worker-led EV Transition, for People not Profit

The EV transition is currently led by corporations under for-profit and market logic. From shop floor battery fires to factory shutdowns, this transition is creating a constant state of crisis potentially leading to company-wide bankruptcies, harming workers while investors make billions.

This educational training will start by analyzing the history of the auto industry and its impact on workers and communities, and evaluate the current state of the industry and how the EV transition is unfolding under the Trump administration. It’ll then discuss how we can organize to protect our jobs, and align production toward safe transportation that centers community needs and addresses climate change.
