UAW strike epilogue: Big Three will continue to shrink
November 1, 2023 // Losing auto worker members, ironically, won’t be that bad for UAW. Only 146,000 of its current 400,000 members work in the auto industry. The UAW has branched out into all sorts of other areas, such as organizing teaching assistants at colleges and universities. There’s no law that says a union’s name must accurately reflect its membership. So, the UAW will survive if its new contract causes it to lose auto workers, though it may eventually have to remove “auto” from its name. It’ll suck for those members though.
