Maybe Labor Notes should put up some actual auto workers or union members from time to time to speak for themselves on the national tv...nah.

Pure truth Brother! I'm in awe, but I don't know if it's due to Brenner being so accurate, or him evoking the logic of Walter Reuther. Two years ago the current UAW leadership spoke to a crowd of younger members, and told of how Reuther was nothing more than a visionary, and could not provide any answers to today's struggles. That was the first and last time the young crowd heard of Reuther. The membership must save themselves.
