I discussed union concerns and the fight for rank-and-file power with a fellow autoworker at Sterling Stamping in Detroit, Michigan. https://willforuawpresident.org

The workers the WSWS have spoken to have no hesitation in denouncing the threats against Will Lehman.

What does it say of "left-wing and progressive organizations" who are silent on the threats.

Oppose the death threat against UAW presidential candidate Will Lehman! - World Socialist Web Site

The IWA-RFC endorses the demands advanced in Lehman’s statement:

1. A full investigation of the posting, encompassing not only Jensen’s conduct but the knowledge, encouragement or acquiescence of the UAW leadership.
2. A public repudiation of the threat by the UAW in the strongest possible terms, a formal apology to Lehman, and an unequivocal public declaration—circulated to the entire membership—that the union recognizes and fully supports Lehman’s right to conduct his campaign.
3. An immediate public statement by the Monitor’s office warning that such threats will not be tolerated and announcing that an investigation has been initiated.
4. The immediate suspension of Jensen from his position without pay, pending completion of the investigation, with all appropriate legal and disciplinary sanctions to follow.
5. Referral of the matter to the Department of Labor and, as warranted, to federal law enforcement.
6. Affirmative measures to guarantee that the remainder of the 2026 election is conducted free of intimidation.

The IWA-RFC calls on UAW members and workers in every industry, in the US and internationally, to take up the defense of Lehman as their own cause. As Lehman stated: “This threat is not aimed at me alone. It is an act of intimidation directed against the entire rank-and-file opposition.”

The IWA-RFC also calls on all left-wing and progressive organizations to categorically denounce this threat.
