UAW membership has risen for the first time since 2004

It's Thursday – time for our weekly check-in with Detroit News business columnist Daniel Howes.

He's picking through the rubble of the UAW's bid to unionize workers at the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, Tenn.

Daniel Howes joined us today.

Listen to the full interview above.
