The Americans with Charlie LeDuff: The death of the UAW 

That Cadillac is mint.

At 4:38. The level of narcissism, hubris, and down right gross arrogance required to put a painting of yourself in your office (that you do not own) is incomprehensible.

The union in my part of Canada (CAW) did nothing to stop GM slashing jobs.

What is a right-wing agitator? Someone who'd like to see his tax dollars stop going to bail out unions.

The Unions built the middle class . We will miss them when they are gone . The elected officials did say that if a union came then VW would pull out which wasn’t true . Wonder why the south is the a anti union territory , got workers to believe the unions are bad . Alabama is a poverty stricken state and so it will remain. God help us .

You are fighting culture attempting to unionize the South. How about this - get all the executives before all the workers. And if the execs have the balls to appear ask them, one by one, if they work w/o a contract? Why don’t honest working people deserve that same protection?

People forget, the Corporations have been around a long time and that the wealth that ones that produce a highly usable, desired product that is hard for people to live life without on a daily bases will survive and generate great wealth. The original founder and developers are about long gone on many of these companies, only special priveledged individuals get to become CEO and top executives, they are only the employees to the Stock Owner, whom are the real Boss. Yet, these employees are paid more than the president of the United States, paid so much that they drain all the wealth from the company, leaving little to be distributed amongst the real owners as dividends and the lower level employee who takes his paycheck home to his family and turns around and spends it at local businesses in his community, that robs small business of much revenue to create more small business jobs that also contributes to more taxable income so to fund community projects, services and employees. when these Top officials are from other regions or countries, where does all that money end up going and how much does the dozen Executives release into the community? THIS IS WHY UNIONS ARE IN EXISTANCE, SO WHY DO THE HELP CUT JOBS AND WORK TO INCREASE CORPORATE PROFITS? THEY OWN STOCK IN PENSION FUNDS AND THE TOP UNION OFFICIALS ARE ON THE BOARD AND OWN MANY OF THE SHARES OF STOCK, CONFLICT OF INTEREST AND INSIDE TRADING!!!

Fantastic Piece

The UAW is going to take a bullet here in Michigan, too. We, the membership, aren't going to take it anymore.

I LOVE those good old boys at the VW plant! They were spitting facts! NO GUARANTEES IN LIFE.

Bank Deregulation & NAFTA, Boom, Ross Perot warned us about the great Sucking Sound decades ago.

Thanks Charlie. You're the man of the people. I got everybody at the shop listening to NBN. Slick whip btw. I got a 77 Coupe built on Clark St. Detroit, MI. Good ol Detroit Iron, made by Detroit people. Keep up the good work. We're listening.

I love right to work laws. Don't wanna join the union? Don't have to. I don't see why they are considered to be anti-union legislation. If union membership drops because of it, it is nobody's fault but the union.

Carlito's way !

because those good ol boys know that the uaw will take their dues right back to detroit and the democrats

Its amazing how rich people can convince poor people whats good for them

Charlie is a prophet, a John the Baptist screaming his head off out in the desert, warning us of what has come, and what is to come! More than that, he's Diogenes, holding up a kerosene lantern, forever looking for an honest man - he may never find one! Diogenes Wept!

Love the questions.

Gin soaked

would have love to work across the line from Charlie LOL some times he reminds me of that guy name bill bonds all dogging the U.A.W.

Union thugs, Clearly the thugs can’t win fairly.

Unions got weak af. We need them because of corporate greed we also need the government to stop companies from moving across oceans and borders

what the U.A.W. needs to do is tell people that they made jobs safe they show no history on how it was in the good old days if you had to shit on company time a guard would follow you to make sure you took a shit or be fired better not blow farts better shit!!!!!!!!!!

Politics is the key word
