Maybe General Motor’s UAW Members Should be Heard


General Motors is an accident waiting to happen unless someone steers them toward safe routes. Whether they avoid economic potholes driving gas, diesel, or electric, UAW members will determine the outcome with GM’s management team.

UAW member talent made GM the leading automobile maker in the world. GM has lost the position, and I’ve pointed my criticism toward UAW members as part of the problem. That may be partly but not completely true.

Frank Hammer, age 65, a staff and line worker at GM makes fascinating comments about the role of UAW workers. His distinctions, recommendations, and passion recommend listening to him.

If you listened to Don Imus interview with Lou Dobbs, you heard Dobbs say that our legislators should be teachers and workers rather than “elitists”. Frank Hammer might be a candidate.

Listen to Frank Hammer’s commonsense during an interview provided by Bloomberg.com.
