The United Auto Workers has not ruled out merging with another union, UAW President Ron Gettelfinger said Thursday.
The comment came during a question-and-answer session Gettelfinger hosted on the union's Web site, UAW.org.
"The UAW has not ruled out merging with other unions," he wrote in response to a question from a union member.
UAW membership fell to 557,000 in 2005 down from 1.5 million 20 years ago. With General Motors Corp. and Ford Motor Co. offering buyouts to more than 70,000 workers, UAW membership is expected to continue to decline.
