About the Design of the “We Are Belvidere” T-Shirt
In mid-September 2023, a massive strike unfolded across the plants of three prominent automakers—General Motors, Ford Motor, and Stellantis—stirred by thousands of UAW members. This walkout marked the first significant labor protest in the auto industry since 2017, fueled by disagreements over terms in the labor contract, including low hourly wages, inadequate benefits for unskilled workers, retirement concerns, job security issues, etc.
In response to the pressure from the labor union, the three automakers acceded to a 25% wage increase to counter inflation, officially concluding the strike on October 30 with a triumph for the automobile workers. Notably, Joe Biden actively supported the UAW during the strike in September at GM’s Willow Run distribution center, expressing profound support for the steadfast efforts of the union. Following the UAW’s successful negotiations with major automakers, Biden visited Stellantis Autoworkers, delivering a commendation to the association members in a speech.
The “We Are Belvidere” t-shirt draws inspiration from the attire Joe Biden wore at the event, presented by the president of UAW Local 1268 before his speech. It features the UAW logo and the text “Local 1268 Belvidere” on the front side, while the back displays an image of a clenched fist and the empowering slogan “We Are Belvidere,” symbolizing the determination and resilience of the union.
