Green Transportation

Union workers are building the cars of the future – cars with advanced engines and transmissions that can slow global warming. UAW members in Flint, Michigan expect to build the engines for GM’s new all-electric Chevrolet Volt. 
At Ford’s Kansas City Assembly Plant, members of UAW Local 249 manufacture the Escape Hybrid, the world’s most fuel-efficient Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV). 
Electric and electric-hybrid vehicles must have state-of-the-art batteries.  Members of the IUE-CWA Local 84755 work around the clock at a Cobasys plant in Springboro, Ohio, to produce nickel metal batteries for GM hybrids.
Investments in high-speed rail can create new jobs while also helping protect the environment. International Machinists members works on wheel sets at Amtrak’s Wheel Shop in Wilmington, DE.
