What we’re fighting for

Defend American Jobs

For years, workers at GE have been on the frontlines of American innovation. We’re proud to build American military defense supplies here in the U.S.A., and proud to do our part to help build the strongest military in the world. No military can compete with America’s, and no workforce can either.

Right now, our national security is being jeopardized by GE’s outsourcing of our domestic military manufacturing. GE’s outsourcing has turned a national asset into a national security vulnerability, selling our ability to xramp up our military production in times of crisis to the highest bidder. When this kind of work is outsourced, it doesn’t just hurt workers, families, and communities – it puts all Americans at risk.

We believe in the American workforce, because we are the American workforce. We’re fighting to protect more than our jobs – we’re fighting to protect the national security of our country.

We’re proud of the work we do, and we’re not going to give it up without a fight. Join us in telling GE to keep our communities safe by moving our military manufacturing back to domestic factories.

Tell General Electric: Move American Military Manufacturing back to American Factories

For years, workers at GE have been on the frontlines of American innovation, manufacturing American military defense supplies here in the US and doing their part to make high quality equipment that our servicemen and women rely on.

But GE’s decades-long disinvestment strategy has left the United States unprepared. GE’s offshoring of core manufacturing functions turns what should be a national asset into a national security vulnerability with uncontrollable and unpredictable supply chains. Our country’s industrial capacity is an asset that cannot be put in jeopardy.

When military manufacturing work is offshored, it doesn’t just hurt workers, families, and communities – it puts all Americans at risk.

Tell GE executives: Keep our communities safe by prioritizing our country’s military supply chain and move American military manufacturing back to American factories.

It is time for GE executives to stop offshoring and reinvest in the American workforce.
