The UAW's Southern Gamble
2023
Overview
The UAW's Southern Gamble is
the first in-depth assessment of the United Auto Workers' efforts
to organize foreign vehicle plants (Daimler-Chrysler,
Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, and Volkswagen) in the American South since
1989, an era when union membership declined precipitously.
Stephen J. Silvia chronicles transnational union cooperation
between the UAW and its counterparts in Brazil, France, Germany,
and Japan and documents the development of employer strategies that
have proven increasingly effective at thwarting unionization.
Silvia shows that when organizing, unions must now fight on
three fronts: at the worksite; in the corporate boardroom; and in
the political realm. The UAW's Southern Gamble makes clear
that the UAW's failed campaigns in the South can teach hard-won
lessons about challenging the structural and legal roadblocks to
union participation and effectively organizing workers within and
beyond the auto industry.
