The UAW was the best thing to happen to the auto biz back then. Before the UAW, workers were treated worse than sheep, and were forced to work long hours, even taking a bathroom break could get them fired. Vacations were slim and none. Wages were at poverty level at best. Miss a day = "You're fired!" The turn over, even during the Depression was terrific. Workers had no senority. Only snitches, and there were many, were the only ones to make out...until they were found out. Then they were lucky to escape with their lives. Some didn't.
Assembling automobiles is one of the worst repetitive jobs, but it was better after the UAW took control.
