Even after previous leaders were convicted of corruption charges, UAW leaders were apparently unconcerned with the optics of holding a union meeting at a luxury resort on the sun-drenched beaches of Puerto Rico, while rank and file members of the union face layoffs.
Labor Union News reports:
“At a time when Fain and UAW leaders are hoping to unionize foreign-owned automakers, with travel to exotic places like Puerto Rico, the new union leadership may run the risk of being viewed by its current members, as well as potential new members, as being only a slight departure from the prior leaders who spent millions of dollars of members’ dues on themselves.”
