The United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America International Union (UAW) has more than 800 locals in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. UAW President Walter Reuther was involved with the American Committee on Africa until his death in 1970. The UAW Governmental and International Affairs staff, based in Washington, DC, deals with the White House, cabinet-level departments, including the State Department and the U.S. Trade Representative, and other federal agencies. On the international front, the department coordinates the UAW's day-to-day contacts with unions in other countries and organizations such as the International Metalworkers Federation and the International Labor Organization. The department played a central role in the UAW's support for the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa. Among its highest priorities is promoting labor and human rights as a basic condition of international trade agreements. (Source: UAW website)
