Testy vote, strained relations 'should be the end of the Int'l UAW'
The link at the bottom of your blog was harsh, but not essentially wrong. The author did not spend any time excoriating management for facilitating the UAW over the decades, but that is food for another column.
This should be the end of the International UAW. If the locals (many, not all) reject a pact recommended by the International, I cannot think of any reason for the locals to continue to send money to Solidarity House. Especially those locals too far afield to enjoy the union golf course ....
It will not be too long before the International has to sue locals to get their cut of dues income, and that will be that. Cradle to grave in 75 years, just like most people. Pity.
BR:
An institution that cannot adapt to the changing times is an institution that cannot survive in its present form. Union or corporation, university or newspaper, the ability to evolve, respond and reflect core values in contemporary society is what keeps 'em alive ... or sends them to the dustbin of history. We don't know what the repercussions of that vote will be, but there will be some.
