Building a Democratic Rank-and-file Caucus in the UAW

Andrew Bergman and Judy Wraight speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2023. Unite All Workers for Democracy (UAWD), the rank-and-file caucus in the United Auto Workers (UAW), made history by challenging long-entrenched business unionists and winning the campaign for top UAW leadership. With a possible strike looming at the Big Three automakers (Ford, GM, Chrysler), UAWD members — newly elected leaders and rank and file — speak about their organizing for militant unionism and how building democratic caucuses can politicize union decision-making and advance socialist strategy.
