The International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers
of America, better known as the United Automobile Workers (UAW), is an American labor
union that represents workers in the United States and Puerto Rico, and in the country
of Canada. Founded as part of the left-wing Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO)
in the 1930s, the UAW grew rapidly from 1936 to the 1950s. Under the leadership of
Walter Reuther (president 1946-70) it played a major role in the liberal wing of the
Democratic party, including the civil rights and anti- Communist movements. The UAW
was especially known for gaining high wages and pensions for the auto workers, but
it was unable to unionize auto plants built by foreign-based car-makers in the South
after the 1970s, and went into a steady decline in membership increased automation,
decreased use of labor, movements of manufacturing (including reaction to NAFTA),
and increased Globalization all were factors.
