- Title
How the UAW Could Change the South.
- Authors
OTTENBERG, EVE
- Abstract
The article discusses the recent successes of the United Auto Workers (UAW) in organizing auto plants in the South, including Volkswagen in Tennessee and the ongoing organizing drive at Mercedes Benz in Alabama. The UAW's victories have the potential to bring about significant changes in the region, including improvements in the standard of living for workers and a shift in the political landscape towards policies that benefit working people. The article also highlights the challenges faced by workers in the auto industry, such as low wages and job insecurity, and the potential for further unionization efforts in the South. The UAW's leader, Shawn Fain, is praised for his achievements and there are suggestions that he may have a future in politics.
