United Automobile Workers

The International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America, better known as the United Automobile Workers (UAW), is an American labor union that represents workers in the United States (including Puerto Rico) and Canada. Founded as part of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) in the 1930s, the UAW grew rapidly from 1936 to the 1950s. Under the leadership of Walter Reuther (president 1946-70) it played a major role in the liberal wing of the Democratic party, including the civil rights and anti-Communist movements. The UAW was especially known for gaining high wages and pensions for the auto workers, but it was unable to unionize auto plants built by foreign-based car-makers in the South after the 1970s, and went into a steady decline in membership increased automation, decreased use of labor, movements of manufacturing (including reaction to NAFTA), and increased Globalization all were factors.

UAW members in the 21st century work in industries as diverse as autos and auto parts, health care, casino gambling and higher education. Headquartered in Detroit, Michigan, the union has about 390,000 active members and more than 600,000 retired members in 750 local unions, which negotiated 2,500 contracts with some 1,700 employers.

    Steady Risin'

    by: Yo Yo

    [Chorus]
    I been on the low for a while, but now
    It's time to rise up, so open your eyes up
    And recognise the real, that's all up in your grill
    Yo Yo gots the flow, y'all niggas know the deal [x2]
    [Verse 1]
    It's a must that I thrush world plush a little lush money
    Green like sus-money, cream and takes the bus
    International connects, plus discuss the hush-hush
    West-side, Who Ride?, World-wide, Bomb-rush
    So what's the deal with all this 'keep it real' rapping
    I'm still flexing skills, collect my mill and keep stepping
    Pack a weapon close if I ghost a nigga then I'm Swayze
    Cause rapping pays me to live shady, wilin' crazy
    Just the killer Cali lady, snatch your fuckin lady
    If rappers be board, you niggas still couldn't play me
    So save the drama for your mommy and your poppy
    When I hit the track up a mad truck couldn't stop me
    To all you, Versace wearin' Donna Karen tricks
    Starin' all up in my grill, I'ma let you know the deal
    I'm still droppin' bombs like Sudam Husain
    Who-Bang, like Mack-10, sip gin and kick game
    [Chorus]
    [Verse 2]
    I've been on the low, but now it's time to show and prove
    Turn my dues to power moves, I got 'em winning never lose
    So whoever snooze, on the Y-O-Y-O better buy you
    A superior plot, I'm blowin' up the spot
    Hip-Hop's the mil-ticket, and I still kick it
    For my niggas in the hood, best believe it's all good
    My game is understood from LA to Amsterdam
    So I organise my fam' and rock the world like Pearl Jam
    This girl's a thriller, got more game than Shirl' Miller
    And as this world turns, my main concern is earnin' scrilla
    I'm realer than most don't test this west coast fever
    On your reciever, with more respect than Aretha
    Franklin, got mo' bankin', drudge and wheezy
    I'm movin on up so give it up this shit ain't easy
    But see I, step to my B I and be fly
    Like a sparrow, but their all stackin' up 'Genaro
    [Chorus]
    [Verse 3]
    You best rocognise game about the things that I told
    Everything that glitters an't gold, but this mic I hold
    Is worth about a million, really don't peep the flow
    I generate more pace than Wall Street when I blow
    You know this how we do, in killer Cali rule
    Mic check, one two, when the Yo be comin' through
    With the lyrical, verbal miracle, oh Jesus
    I say what I want and I do as I pleases
    For any nigga step in my direction and question
    My affection for this game that I be flexin'
    The same as chin-checkin, I'll be right there like demolition
    I'm on a mission, so just listen
    I'm spittin', the game related, that keep you faded
    Intoxicated, then your pocket get raided
    I made it, for them G's and Ladies
    Beneath the palm trees just shootin' the breeze
    [Chorus]
    That's the way, uh uh, we like it
    Bad as I wanna be, you don't wanna step to me
    That's the way, uh uh, we like it
    Steady Risin' to the top, movin' up another notch [x2]
