How the UAW abandoned auto-workers to back radicals

A month ago, the UAW endorsed progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed in the Democratic primary for Michigan's open Senate seat. It seems an odd anti-establishment move for a long-time Democrat ally and pal of former President Biden — one that could backfire with the union’s rank and file.
