		Not only is the UAW involved in labor relations, it was a major factor in fighting Communist control in the United States and the world during World War II, involved in developing affirmative action programs concerning women and African American workers, and influenced national politics.
		As you will see, the UAW is a force that grew out of discontent with work issues to become one of the largest and most diverse unions in North America (www.uaw.org).
		Approximately 10% of the 47,000 workers in the Flint plants were members of the UAW at the beginning of this conflict, but this work stoppage brought in thousands of new recruits from all of the plants in the city (Zieger 46).

	G.M. to Offer Buyout Deal to More Than 125,000 Workers
		Workers who have reached retirement age would be offered $35,000 in cash to give up their jobs immediately.
		Meanwhile, workers with 10 years' experience who would not be eligible to retire can leave and receive payment of $140,000 and a pension, but would have to forgo health care coverage, according to an outline of the program posted on the U.A.W.'s Web site.
		Workers are not under any obligation to accept the deals, and executives and union officials have been concerned that some could wait for sweetened offers.

		UAW membership is approximately 20% skilled trades (journeymen with 8,000 hour apprenticeships or equivalent), about half of whom are in maintenance trades.
		UAW will expand utilization of worker trainers, known as Local Union Discussion Leaders (LUDLs), to deliver emergency response training programs at target worksites and union leadership development functions, and further expand the role of the LUDLs in the areas of curriculum development and revision, program evaluation and train-the-trainer planning.
		UAW and University of Michigan will work together to further develop the worker-based evaluation component and continue to assure the ongoing high quality of training in existing and new programs by monitoring trainee perceptions of quality, appropriateness and usefulness and by conducting assessments of new curricula.

	Where Would General Motors Be Without the United Automobile Workers Union? - Mises Institute
		That is, automobiles poorly made for no other reason than because they happened to be made on a day when too few workers showed up, or too few showed up sober, to do the jobs they were paid to do.
		Fourth, without the UAW, the cost of employing a GM factory worker, including wages and fringes, would not be in excess of $72 per hour, which is where it is today, according to The Post-Crescent newspaper of Appleton, Wisconsin.
		The UAW, the whole labor-union movement, and the left-"liberal" intellectual establishment, which is their father and mother, are responsible for foisting on the public and on the average working man and woman a fantasy land of imaginary Demons (big business and the rich) and of saintly Good Fairies (politicians, government officials, and union leaders).

		If the UAW is perceived as greedy and inflexible during bargaining, the shadow will fall on the pro-labor Democratic Party and President Clinton.
		In the last contract, workers got one up-front 3% general raise in the first year of the agreement and then 3% lump sum payments in the second and third years.

	The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History. For Teachers and Students. Seminars
		The United Automobile Workers had established several local unions by 1935 that had few members and little power.
		Workers organized themselves in the factory even electing a "mayor." Women brought food and passed it through the windows.
		On February 11, 1937 General Motors Corporation and the United Automobile Workers signed an agreement recognizing the UAW as the sole bargaining agent for the workers.

		WE WILL NOT threaten the Employer with the invocation of an invalid security provision, nor re- quest and cause the Employer to deduct dues and reinstatement fees from employees whose authori- zations were not voluntarily obtained, nor cause the Employer to use the current security provision for the collection of pre-contract arrears.
		Using this standard, the Board in a recent case similar to this one held that unless it is shown that all the employ- ees who received the unwarranted threat also receive a withdrawal the repudiation is ineffective.

		Without the UAW, GM would not now be in process of attempting to pay a ransom to its UAW workers of up to $140,000 per man, just to get them to quit and take their hands out of its pockets.
		Without the UAW and its fantasy-land mentality, autoworkers would have been motivated to save out of wages actually paid to them, and to provide for their future by means of by and large reasonable investments of those savings— investments with some measure of diversification.

	The Chronicle: 1/17/2003: United Auto (or Is That 'Academic'?) Workers
		Last summer, the UAW defeated a traditional education union, the American Federation of Teachers, to represent 4,000 adjuncts at NYU, creating the largest union of part-timers in the nation.
		And UAW organizing campaigns, or at least the rumblings of them, are under way at George Washington, Harvard, and New School Universities, the University of Southern California, and Columbus State Community College, in Ohio.
		Lund welcomes the academic employees into the union, but cautions that "it would be better for the UAW to concentrate on parts workers for automobile or aerospace." Union officials "don't try to organize parts workers because it's harder," she says, and because their top priority is simply to sign up members.

		It was sheer insanity for the UAW to hold the scheduled meetings, he added; none of the auto workers would show up.
		Now most of the workers I met in the automobile field were American-born sons and daughters of the Europeans whom I had known earlier, and as in Akron men and women who had lost their means of livelihood during the depression.
		But the auto workers received less than an average of $1,300 a year in 1925, when times were good, and less than $1,000 in 1935.

	Main Delphi union backs strike - Business - International Herald Tribune
		DETROIT Members of the United Automobile Workers have given their union permission to call a strike against Delphi if a bankruptcy judge allows the company to void its labor contracts and reduce their pay.
		The United Automobile Workers, the largest union at Delphi, has repeatedly vowed to strike if the company scraps the labor agreements.
		Just days before it filed its court motions, Delphi sent the United Automobile Workers a proposal that called for lowering wages first to $22 an hour, then to $16.50 an hour, from about $28 an hour now.

	The Degradation of Work Revisited: The Rise of the Unions and the Effects of World War II
		Aroused and angered by impossible production-line speeds and work standards, serious safety and health concerns, fears of unemployment, and overly abusive foremen, the United Automobile Workers Union was at the center of the social and economic revolution associated with the rise of industrial unionism.
		With their long accumulated grievances, auto workers readily swarmed into the emerging UAW, especially during and after the widespread sit-down strikes in the automobile and other industries.
		After the dismissal of several organizers and workers in the spring of 1941, a spontaneous walkout occurred in the foundry and eventually spread to the entire plant.

	Mises Economics Blog: Where Would General Motors Be Without the United Automobile Workers Union?
		The UAW was and is at best simply another greedy brutish stakeholder, and if a non-union company was going out of business (as many in the south have) you can't complain about their workers.
		The UAW is clearly representative of a problem which has been endemic in our society since (at least) the 1930's and a major problem in Europe since the 19th century.
		Toyota looks after its workers as well as GM does, so the big difference is that Toyota and Honda re-invested their surplus cash into research while the Big Three spit out dividends, and thus created higher share values, stock option values, and bonuses for management.

		Of the 250 Detroit members of the United Office and Professional Workers of America, a three-month-old C. affiliate, about 50 are employed in the Hofmann Building offices of United Automobile Workers of America.
		Like the good unionists they are, the office workers wanted such things as the closed shop, vacations with pay, a 35-hr, week, time and one-half for overtime, seniority rights, better lighting equipment, clean restrooms, a $25-per-week minimum wage and a signed contract.

	Walter Reuther - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Reuther was born in Wheeling, West Virginia, the son of a socialist brewery worker who had immigrated from Germany.
		These labor contracts made automobiles more expensive, but since there was very little competition from foreign brands in his lifetime, the consumer paid high prices, the workers took home high wages, and the companies made high profits.
		He was instrumental in mobilizing UAW resources to minimize the threat that George Wallace would win more than 10 percent of union votes (Wallace won about 9 percent in the North).
