Profit Sharing? Profit Sharing? Did You Say Profit Sharing?
If you are a new member or one with a little frame wax under your fingernails a big profit-sharing check is always welcome. You should know that those checks are not willingly given by the company. As a matter of fact, in 1958 the company worked with politicians to fight the profit-sharing proposal put forward by UAW President Walter Reuther. This proposal was even subject to a nationwide TV interview of Reuther by Mike Wallace. It was a different world back then but that victory has meant thusands of dollars a year to autoworkers. Watch the interview here and learn how it happened.
UAW President Walter Reuther on his proposal for profit sharing for workers and consumers, interviewed by Mike Wallace, Jan. 25, 1958. The interview deals primarily with Reuther’s proposal, whether it is “socialism,” and his views on the economy. There are references to the Cold War, Sputnik, automation, and presidential politics (and a spat with John L. Lewis). The video is in two parts. Cigarette ads are included. This is part 1.
