UAW President Bob King said the union intends to launch a campaign in January to organize the U.S. manufacturing plants of Asian and German automakers ...
King said the UAW has a better story to tell transplant workers today than it had over several decades of failed efforts to organize those workers.
And that "better story" is:
a) Two of the three firms we've organized have already gone bankrupt!
b) In the process they lost almost 34,000 jobs!
c) "The UAW was first to the table to make concessions and sacrifices that have helped Ford Motor Co., General Motors Co. and Chrysler Group to emerge from the financial crisis of 2008 and 2009, [King] said. Those concessions equate to between $7,000 and $30,000 per worker."
d) "The UAW now represents about 120,000 hourly workers at the Detroit 3, down several fold from even a decade ago because of plant closings and buyouts."
e) Unionize and the Obama administration might help you out.
