New Book Chronicles UAW History

A new book is available that gives a history of the UAW, entitled Progress: The UAW and the Automobile Industry The Past 70 Years. Retired UAW member John H. Jackson, who worked for General Motors for 38.5 years at a stamping plant in Marion, Indiana, wrote the book. Brother Jackson retired in 1995 and moved to the Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee.

He works part time with the East Tennessee International UAW Retired Workers Council, assisting other retired auto workers with their insurance and other benefits.

John Jackson wrote Progress: The UAW and the Automobile Industry The Past 70 Years last year.
The book presents an extensive history of the UAW and its relationship with management and industry, presenting the struggle that working men and women went through in founding the UAW. The book also covers the fight for fair pay and treatment.
