We believe companies like Panasonic can do better to provide career-track, family-sustaining jobs that strengthen our community.
Like tens of thousands of other union battery and auto workers across America, we deserve the voice and respect we gain through collective bargaining.
“With the rising cost of living, pay at Panasonic is barely enough to cover rent and groceries for one person, let alone support a family.”
“We work hard to make Panasonic profitable. It would benefit us and the long-term success of the company if we had a seat at the table to negotiate for fair and stable pay.”
“Paying for gas and groceries shouldn’t be stressful.”
“Without a union, it can be difficult to get management to take safety concerns seriously. Workers who have formed unions in similar facilities have been able to raise safety standards and win hazard pay. We need that here too.”
"We’re forming a union to be able to negotiate for stronger protections for our health, our lives and our futures. Our hard work to make PENA successful should be properly valued.”
“Many of us work with dangerous chemicals every day, but we lack a real voice in decisions about safe working conditions. My legs were injured while I was working on the concrete floors covered in toxic dust. With a union, we could negotiate for more reliable health and safety protections.”
“We need fair opportunities to advance at Panasonic. I was told by management that I am “too valuable to move right now” and then people with far less experience were given promotions above me. Promotions should be about what you know, not who you know.”
“OT and vacation approvals shouldn’t be given out based on favoritism. If you work hard, you should be treated equally to everyone else.”
“It feels like management doesn’t want us to have a real voice because they only care about maximizing their profits. Things as trivial as coming in three minutes late because you had to use the restroom are now enough to get you a warning or a write up. We need a way to represent ourselves and that’s why I believe we need a union.”
Now is a better time than ever to form a union at Panasonic. We're joining tens of thousands of other battery and auto workers who are forming unions and winning major improvements to wages, benefits and working conditions. See below for highlights form the last few years.
In April 2025, Panasonic changed its time off policies unilaterally. Many of us are now facing unfair write-ups, lack of flexibility, and low morale.
