This is a Special Edition My Labor Radio Episode. We attended and recorded the speeches from the dinner on Saturday night of the first in person UAWD Convention. It was held on September 28th & 29th, 2024 in Southfield MI.  The MC for the dinner was George Freeman from UAW Local 933 in Indianapolis Indiana UAW Region 2B. He does the introductions and gives some background to his work at Local 933.

We hear speeches from Professor, Historian and published Author Nelson Lichtenstein. He authored a book on Walter Reuther that the International UAW hated for years, too much truth. The attitude towards him has changed, he talks about it. Then we hear from Rob Lett. He outlines his journey from part time to full time and now a UAW organizer for UAW local 112 at Mercedes in Tuscaloosa Alabama. The last speech is from UAW International President Shawn Fain. This episode is 125 minutes long.
