Michael Martinez, an Automotive News reporter, joins Auto Trends with Jeffcars.com to talk about what could easily be a made for Tv movie drama on how the United Auto Workers (UAW) found themselves mired in scandal after scandal over the past decade. Seemingly, the 90-year-old influential organization, didn't begin to turnaround, until its first African American leaders took the helm. The skilled reporter shares what the current leaders did and what role, if any, they played in avoiding a government takeover.
During the insightful, but telling radio conversation, Martinez also elaborates about the role unions in general have played throughout the years in creating a middle class society.
