One very misleading stat:

The UAW is eager to boost its ranks with more new hires. Its membership has fallen to 376,612, about a quarter of the 1.5 million it had at its peak in 1979.

The number of UAW auto workers has gone down much more than that. The 376,612 includes a lot of medical, state, and local employees who have unionized.

That would explain why United Welfare Fund of UAW went belly up.

They now switched over to Healthplex, which is a union ins WORSE than UWF.

And I understand UWF is in some kind of suit with a few “companies” that haven’t paid their dues.
