Count Me In! What We Did Together in 2024
Dear Labor Leaders and Union Members,
In 2024, unions of working people in North Carolina overcame corporate power, natural disasters, and national political headwinds to win record contracts, rebuild communities, and elect labor champions.

Over 7,000 UAW members at Daimler Trucks took a stand and said that record corporate profits should equal record contracts, and they won!
CWA members at AT&T Southeast went out on a month-long strike to force the company to bargain in good faith with 17,000 telecom workers, and they won!
NNU members and the Asheville community fought for improved working conditions and a fair contract for 1,800 nurses at Mission Health, and they won!
Together, we poured the same determination and solidarity that fueled those efforts into our largest member-to-member political campaign yet and won key victories at the ballot box—including electing Josh Stein as our next Governor and breaking the anti-worker supermajority in the state house next year.
And we came together as hundreds of union members donated their labor, money, and supplies to aid victims of Hurricane Helene.
We will face challenges on the road ahead, especially on the federal level, but our task remains the same—to organize, organize, organize!
Together is how we will grow our movement, defend our democracy, and secure our freedom to thrive in 2025.
Count me in,
MaryBe McMillan, President
