These are the cars built by UAW and Unifor autoworkers in 2023

With the global expansion of the automotive industry, it can sometimes be difficult to keep track of where a car is built, let alone who built it. With the United Auto Workers (UAW) and Canada’s Unifor (previously CAW) making headlines, it may leave you wondering whether the car in your driveway was built by American organized labor or not. And who better to ask than the builders themselves? The UAW has a handy one-pager that lists every car built either by them or their siblings-in-struggle across the border in Canada. Because “Where is that truck built?” doesn’t always have a simple, one-word answer, we made notations below for vehicles that are assembled in more than one location. In some cases, the vehicle is built both in the U.S. and Canada; in others, the vehicle is also assembled in Mexico. See the guide below to find what you’re looking for.

(MEX) Indicates the vehicle is also built in Mexico.
