Episode: The UAW's Efforts to Unionize Foreign Auto Plants in the South
Description: An insightful in-depth conversation with American University professor and expert in politics, governance, and economics, Stephen Silvia. Just last year, Silvia published The UAW's Southern Gamble: Organizing Workers at Foreign-Owned Vehicle Plants. During our conversation inspired by the publication, Stephen Silvia outlines the three fronts a union must fight when organizing: at the worksite, in the corporate boardroom, and in the political realm while sharing the rich backstory of the UAW's attempts to unionize foreign automotive plants in the South from 1989 to the present. Sponsored By:
