Washington — In its quest to organize the U.S. employees of foreign automakers, the United Auto Workers union said Wednesday it is planning broad-based protests against companies that don't agree to the union's principles for fair bargaining.The union, whose U.S. membership dropped precipitously with the decline of the domestic auto industry, intends to hire a former top Obama campaign adviser with Internet expertise to help mobilize its effort. The UAW says it intends to call protests at dealerships around the world, at the headquarters of foreign automakers, and even on Wall Street.
