The Detroit News writes:
The United Auto Workers’ 38th Constitutional Convention ended on a dramatic note Thursday, reflecting internal fissures — as well as some signs of progress — in a union attempting to move beyond a years-long corruption scandal and position itself for an uncertain future.
The article quoted UAWD’s own Scott Houldieson:
What you saw (Thursday) is what we’re trying to get away from, what our caucus is interested in reforming,” UAW Local 551 delegate and UAWD chairperson Scott Houldieson said. “We want to bring democracy to the UAW so that the members have a real voice, rather than this convention system where the administration lays down the law and tells the delegates what they’re going to do and how they’re going to vote.”
