As I've been traveling and largely out of internet range/interest, I have not been able to read everything on the overwhelming defeat of the United Auto Workers election to represent.
In 2010, two major unions, the United Auto Workers and the United Food and Commercial Workers, supported the Obama Administration's free trade deal with South Korea because they thought it.
Here's a great collection of photos from the Flint Sit-Down Strike, an event that makes the mass poisoning of the Flint water by the state's governor still only the second.
This story on the solidarity shown by Kohler's workers in their recent strike in which 94% of the workers voted yes for striking shows how counterproductive two-tiered contracts are for.
The latest in the United Auto Workers' negotiations with the Big Three is pretty interesting. As I discussed earlier, the UAW forged an agreement with Chrysler that at least rolls.
During the economic crisis in 2007, the United Auto Workers was forced to accept two-tiered contracts to keep factories open. These contracts created a second pay scale for new employees.
As I stated earlier, I don't necessarily see the UAW-Volkswagen agreement as a major victory. It's certainly a positive thing for the workers involved, but as something to celebrate, I'm.
