United Auto Workers on the right track?

I am encouraged by the UAW president's article about investment in the future in the form of transitional and alternative fuels, as well as mass transportation (this is one of my biggest pet peeves, but I'm not sure how likely this development is...)


perhaps if this massively influential group can guide the bulk of its constituents towards a more intelligent approach of environmentalism and "green" transportation, we are not beyond hope after all?
