United Auto Workers / UAW

The United Auto Workers appear in Socialist mobility: a telling Michigan vote as part of the traditional Democratic base in Michigan. John Prideaux names the car industry and a large UAW presence when explaining why a left-wing statewide primary win in Michigan is more politically revealing than a victory in a safely liberal city.

In this source, the UAW is not analyzed as an organization in detail. It functions as a labor and industrial signal inside the Statewide Left Primary Test around Abdul El-Sayed.
