UAW's Shift Towards Diversity and Expansion Beyond Auto Industry Membership
The United Auto Workers (UAW) union, traditionally associated with the automotive industry, has diversified its membership to include a significant number of higher education workers, including graduate students, adjunct professors, and postdocs. This expansion has helped the union maintain its numbers as its representation in the auto industry has decreased. Despite its growth in other sectors, the UAW remains committed to organizing auto workers, aiming to make unionization more attractive to workers in nonunion auto plants, including those at Tesla.
