This is an essay by retired autoworker, Tom Adams. It is a detailed account of corruption in the United Auto Worker union. Please share it. The Reds who built and led the union; those who organized the sit-down strikes, especially the women whose actions outside the plants made the occupation successful; the black autoworkers who fought both companies and the UAW in the Revolutionary Union Movement that swept Detroit in the late 1960s; the young workers who sabotaged the assembly line at the Lordstown plant in Ohio in the 1970s; the modern-day union dissidents like the late Jerry Tucker who were persecuted by the UAW leadership; Gregg Shotwell, who kept the fires of rank-and-file democracy burning for so many years----all of these and more should not have sacrificed so much just to see their union wallowing in criminality and dictatorial rule. https://mronline.org/2019/08/19/a-tale-of-corruption-by-the-united-autoworkers-and-the-chrysler-corporation/ _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: https://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
