I'm a UAW member and while there is a number of the rank and file that are philosophically challenged, most are American to the core.
I beg your pardon, then. Truly. Still, you will probably understand why people here are suspicious of UAW members. Is it just a few UAW members who spoil it for the rest, or is it a sizable minority?
And why are all the others silent? Forgive the inquisitiveness, but I want to get the real story from you, since you're both a FReeper and a UAW member.
Thank you for speaking up, and I apologize for painting with too broad a brush. My disgust and contempt should have been directed at the UAW leadership, especially its president.
