Henry Ford was a sack of shit. But even he wanted his factory workers to afford cars.

It's like leaders today are having a contest to see who can be more of a scumbag; yet no one cares or notices

#uaw #unions

@CosmicTrigger @Radical_EgoCom #UAW is still too soft imo. Management should be thankful their vehicles aren't being burnt down by the workers.

But even if soft and not ideal. Should support all unions. (besides the cop ones obvi)

Much Love & Solidarity ♥ ✊

On Monday, December 19, Will Lehman, a Mack Trucks worker and candidate for United Auto Workers International president, filed a formal protest with the court-appointed UAW Monitor over the national UAW election results.

#Lehman’s written protest to the court-appointed monitor overseeing the ballot is an encyclopedic historical record of the election, comprehensively detailing every facet of the antidemocratic conspiracy by the entrenched bureaucracy to cling to power by suppressing the vote.

In Fall 2022, the United Auto Workers union (UAW) held the first-ever direct elections of its national leadership, following a years-long corruption scandal that has sent more than a dozen top UAW officials to prison.

The vote tally showed a turnout of less than 10 percent, by far the lowest turnout for any direct union election in the country’s history.

“I call on workers to demand that all the candidates for UAW president be included in the second round of the election, and that all workers be fully informed about the election. Only in this way, can workers cast a meaningful vote, instead of choosing between two union bureaucrats who combined received less than 10 percent of the votes of eligible voters.”

The broad support Lehman received among rank-and-file workers across the US reflects the rapidly developing political radicalization of the American working class. The vote explodes the myth that workers in the United States are intransigently hostile to socialism.

The United Auto Workers (UAW) election ended this week, with a Monday deadline for ballots to be received by mail. This is the first direct leadership election in the history of the UAW, which up to now has had all its top officials appointed by the bureaucracy at its annual conventions.

“The UAW apparatus and its entrenched leadership, which had opposed direct elections in a referendum last year, took only the most minimal efforts to inform workers about them, hoping to suppress turnout as much as possible and confine the process to their favored candidates.”

Initial results from the first-ever direct election in the history of the United Auto Workers show an important level of support for rank-and-file socialist candidate Will Lehman, as well as widespread vote suppression and alienation among the rank and file from the UAW apparatus, reflected in the abysmal 10 percent turnout.
