From the Paper:
"IntroductionThe United Auto Workers is a union that has had great power and prestige over the years since its founding. It worked to organize auto workers, represented their interests, and addressed a variety of political and social issues of interest to these workers. The organization has had a number of reverses in recent years because of a downturn in the American automobile market, caused in part by the success of the Japanese industry at making inroads into the American marketplace. The UAW has been faced with a number of failed strikes, with plant closings across the country, and with reduced union membership and power throughout American life. At the same time, the organization has continued to support legislation of interest to workers and to address various political issues with whatever power it could muster."
