As part of his \u201cPaving the Way for Michigan\u2019s Future\u201d tour, Peters visited United Auto Workers (UAW) Local 652 and met with members and retirees to discuss priorities that are important to autoworkers.\n\n\u201cUAW members are building the best cars in the world in Michigan, and they\u2019re critical for the success of the auto industry and our economy as a whole,\u201d said Senator Peters. \u201cWhether it\u2019s fighting for better wages, safer workplaces, access to health care or a dignified retirement, unions like the UAW have continued to show up and deliver results that lift up our communities and all American workers. I\u2019m glad to have had the opportunity to listen to local UAW workers and hear their priorities \u2013 I remain committed to standing with our workers as they fight for a stronger future.\u201d\n\nPeters grew up in a union household and has been a champion for Michigan and American workers, including union workers. His father was an NEA teacher and his mother was a nurse\u2019s aide, who worked with the SEIU to organize her workplace and his father-in-law is a UAW Local 5690 retiree. Peters is a committed advocate for workers\u2019 right to collectively bargain and fight for higher wages, better benefits, and safer workplaces.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T00:30:18Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.peters.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/photos-peters-meets-with-local-uaw-in-lansing-on-annual-motorcycle-tour-to-discuss-priorities-for-michigan-autoworkers"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8415132761001587, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
