“UAW membership, largely made up of autoworkers but also including workers in agriculture and aerospace, peaked at 1.5 million in 1979. As of last year, the union’s membership was 370,239 workers – down 3.3% from 2022 and 75% from its peak. Workers from the Detroit automakers only made up roughly 150,000 of that 2023 total.” CNBC

My first job was with a UAW organized fastener company that went on strike shortly after I started with them! Not surprised when they went out of business! Today half of the auto workers in the USA (150,000) are non-UAW members! They work for “Tesla, Rivian and Lucid – as well as 10 foreign automakers that build cars in the US – BMW, Honda, Hyundai, Mazda, Mercedes, Nissan, Subaru, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo.”

And that is all I’m going to say about that!
