Washington -- Auto dealers who sell foreign brands are criticizing a plan by the United Auto Workers union to protest at Toyota Motor Corp. dealerships.

On Thursday, newly-elected UAW President Bob King said the union was redoubling its efforts to organize Toyota workers and will protest at the Japanese automaker's dealerships.

"Attacking small businesses won't help Mr. King build back UAW membership," Cody Lusk, president of the American International Automobile Dealers Association, said Friday.

"If he wants to pressure the 28,000 workers at Toyota's U.S. manufacturing plants to unionize, he should consider some other method than hindering business at a randomly chosen Toyota dealership."

2. Don't most dealers have multiple stores selling both domestic and foreign brands?

4. News reports of the UAW are slanted.
The UAW will do a lot of things, but somebody ranting about something that has not happened.

With no information from the UAW.
