This study examines the transformation of the United Auto Workers from a membership-driven labor organization into a capital-driven, business organization. The transformation of the UAW began in 1980 and was complete by the turn-of-the-century. The establishment of joint labor-management committees facilitated changes in bargaining trends, union structures and industrial relations in the auto sector. The UAW was transformed by the implementation of a series of joint labor-management programs that circumvented long-established labor contracts and the UAW Constitution. The preservation of the union's organizational bureaucracy and its capital resources became the essential purpose of the UAW.
The New Deal industrial relations system in the auto sector was replaced by a corporate partnership. The UAW and General Motors incorporated joint nonprofit human resource corporations that established and administered working conditions, attendance policy, welfare benefits and healthcare trust funds. This peculiar industrial relations model is called, "UAW Inc." The UAW became a labor organization that didn't need members.
