Introduction
About the UAW
The UAW is made up of workers from many parts of the American economy. Workers belong to firms in sectors including the Automotive, Aerospace and Defense, Heavy Trucks, Farm and Heavy Equipment industries, other kinds of manufacturing, as well as Technical, Office, and Professional (TOP). At the present, there are about 640,000 active members (500,000 retired members) with members in US, Canada, Puerto Rico. The UAW consists of over 800 local unions, and is considered one of the largest unions in North America. Moreover, there exists a solidarity between the active and retired members of the UAW – many retired UAW members still take part in their union.
