The UAW also rigged the Michigan Senate Election for Gary Peters - the UAW was on the talk shows before the election telling voters that John James had zero chance of winning.
The UAW is smart enough to know that the Republicans aren’t their friends, either. At this point they have probably resigned themselves to the same pathetic existence you see with so many of these old private-sector unions ... sitting around whining about getting screwed by corporate management, while throwing their political support behind the candidates who will give them the biggest welfare checks.
