The United Autoworkers Union is launching a nationwide campaign to expand on the heels of its big contract win against Detroit Automakers.

UAW officials wrote in a press release that the campaign will target nearly 150,000 autoworkers across thirteen different companies.

UAW President Shawn Fain says he plans to expand the union using the momentum gained after winning new contracts.
