What does UAW stand for?
Good question. After all, you have to stand for something, or you’ll fall for anything. But we’ll get back to that — what you probably want to know is what the initials stand for. It started out as the “United Auto Workers,” but today we might as well just say, “Union for All Workers,” because our membership includes people who make everything from planes to toy trains as well as state, county and local government workers, hospital and university workers, you name it. We also have plans to unite with two other major unions. Which gets back to the first answer. The UAW stands for justice for working people. It sounds corny, but our success or failure will always be judged on how well we succeed at bettering the lives of workers. We have no other reason to exist. Sounds nice, but companies claim to be good for workers too. Many company officials try to treat workers decently, but that’s not why they’re in business. The bottom line for a company is profits.
