UAW Tries Unionizing Toyota

The Union Auto Workers (UAW) will host a meeting of Toyota factory workers Saturday in Lexington, Ky., as a step in trying to unionize Toyota’s oldest and biggest U.S. plant.

The union says the meeting will be a town hall forum to air their grievances and to provide “an opportunity for Toyota workers to share with the community the human cost of Toyota's success," said a union official.

The UAW is desperate to maintain its shrinking ranks, but has been unsuccessful in organizing Asian-owned factories.
