美国联合汽车工人工会(United Automobile Workers)

全名美国联合汽车、航空和农机工人工会（United Automobile, Aerospace, and Agricultural Implement Workers of America; UAW）

为美国汽车和其他运载工具工人的产业工会，总部设在底特律。联合汽车工人工会是1935年产业工会联合会後的产物。1935年「瓦格纳法」通过後，该工会开始汽车工人组织起来。但资方拒绝承认。该工会的基层组织者就静坐示威方法进行报复。1937年最高法院确认了「瓦格纳法」，促使通用汽车公司，同意接受联合汽车工人工会作为交涉代表，於是汽车工业的大多数资方人员也效仿了这个做法。在卢瑟尔的领导下，工会与各大汽车制造厂签订合同，保证工资随生活费用调整，实行保健计画和年假。劳联－产联主席米尼和卢瑟尔之间的不和公开化了。於是联合汽车工人工会退出劳联－产联，加入卡车司机工会，组成新的联盟，但於1972年解散。1981年联合汽车工人工会与劳联－产联再度合并。

United Automobile Workers

U.S. industrial union of automotive and other vehicular workers, headquartered in Detroit. The UAW was founded in 1935, when the Committee for Industrial Organization (see AFL-CIO) began to organize automotive workers. The union successfully countered automakers' initial resistance with sit-down strikes and a 1937 Supreme Court decision upholding the right to organize as declared in the Wagner Act. General Motors Corp. was the first to recognize the UAW, and most other automakers followed suit, though Ford Motor Co. continued its resistance until 1941. Under Walter Reuther, the union won contracts providing for cost-of-living adjustments, health plans, and vacations. Reuther's friction with George Meany led the UAW to withdraw from the AFL-CIO in 1968. A short-lived alliance with the Teamsters was dissolved in 1972, and the UAW rejoined the AFL-CIO in 1981. Competition from foreign imports eroded the union's benefits in the 1980s and '90s.
