Shaw Fain will go down in history

[multigraincracker]

as one of the most effective leaders in UAW history.

Just my opinion as a 50 year member.

1. Agreed. Labor is having a moment and he has elevated it.

2. I was raised in Reuther era

actually shook his hand and that of his brother. UAW did great things for me and my family, probably actually saved us in fact. I agree that Fain is certainly the best in modern era.

3. It Was A Brilliant Strategy

He had to be knowledgeable about all the various plants and how much each was profitable to the respective manufacturer.

4. Agree!

My mom’s hero was Jimmy Hoffa. She didn’t care if he was a crook. He did so much for the working class. Shaw Fain is right up there. Mom would’ve loved him.

5. Saw him on a talk show many years ago.

Woman in the audience ask him him how some of those drivers were making more than her husband with a PhD. He said, lady we don’t discriminate. If he wanted to improve his life I will get him an application

I’ll never for get that.

6. ha.. perfect!

and that's what made him the working class hero. He insisted they were worth as much as anyone.
