Detroit Free Press:Detroit — The delegates attending the United Auto Workers’ three-day bargaining convention in Detroit were treated to a rousing, inspirational message Wednesday from rap star Eminem.
In a moving, three-minute video, Eminem implored UAW members to never give up.
“You took our country from its infancy into industry,” Eminem said in the video. “Your name still carries with it the idea of a nation built on steel, muscle and sweat.”
The video was filled with images of Detroit’s buildings, factories and houses and was narrated by Eminem.
“You know that nothing is accomplished without hard work and sacrifice,” Eminem said. “You’ve built us; you’ve moved us.”
The UAW also replayed the highly acclaimed Chrysler 200 commercial that aired during the Super Bowl. This version of the commercial ended with short appearances from Al Iacobelli, Chrysler’s vice president of employee relations, and UAW Vice President General Holiefield.
Afterwards, hundreds of UAW delegates chanted: “One more time, one more time.”
The UAW replayed the commercial.
