The comparison of the current, bogus, UAW runoff election to the heroic 1937 Flint sitdown strike along with the claim of worker apathy for low rank-and-file turnout is utterly false.
Anger of the deliberate suppression of workers’ right to vote in the UAW election is particularly acute given the fact that 150,000 autoworkers in the US face a decisive fight in mid-September.
Workers at the Kentucky Truck Plant and Louisville Assembly Plant expressed disgust with the sham runoff election and support for Will Lehman's fight to transfer power to rank-and-file workers.
In discussions outside factory gates, workers expressed deep opposition to the brazen violation of their rights and the “choice” in the election between two longtime union bureaucrats.
