A quick glance around Mike Booth’s office on the top floor of Solidarity House in Detroit is striking because it is so understated.
There are no big flower arrangements or mahogany furniture. Fancy artwork or photos do not crowd his desk or wall space. He has occupied the office since December, when UAW members elected him as vice president and he was assigned the General Motors Department. Yet, other than his desk, there are only a few scattershot cabinets with various binders on them and a refrigerator in a back cubbyhole. A black couch and two matching chairs frame a coffee table where Booth’s bible sits: The UAW Constitution.
