Reuther seemed to be dissatisfied, looking for the ability to challenge the injustices that had made the union movement so vital in the 1930s. -- Do we have a justification for this psychological profiling? RickK 03:59, 12 Aug 2003 (UTC)
The comment is derived from some published reminiscences of Paul Schrade, who was Regional Director for the UAW in California in the 1960's. But I agree that it is a little presumptuous, particularly in as short a piece as this. I will work up a longer version of the entry; right now I am working backward, starting with the CIO, then the UAW, and finally getting back to Reuther himself. Italo Svevo
According to labour historian Nelson Licthenstein, when these contracts were first negotiated, UAW president Walter Reuther warned car companies in the 1940s that they were courting trouble by making long-term promises they might not be able to keep, and urged them to support national health insurance instead.

It seems to me that the article is not well formatted, with all the info in one sprawling essay. i think it should be split up into sections, like just about every other article here at wikipedia.-- 69.248.90.249 22:08, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
this sentence is nonsensical: Walter P. Reuther was named after a school built in the 1970's, Reuther Middle School in Rochester Hills, Michigan and is a great school of education. All your base are belong to us?
Reuther was an anticommunist in the 1940s--the issue was his position in the 1930s after he returned from Russia. His major biographer says:
Lichtenstein, a historian of the left, concludes he was close to the Communist party and possibly a full member. Rjensen 07:07, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
I see nothing here about Reuther's anti-semitism, the one area in which he and Henry Ford saw eye-to-eye. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.82.148.218 ( talk) 01:06, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
Never did I hear about any kind of antisemitism in connection with Walter Reuther. I think he was close to Israel, made trips there, was honored in Israel many times. https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1915&dat=19681202&id=fahGAAAAIBAJ&sjid=HfgMAAAAIBAJ&pg=4104,193071&hl=de — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.44.113.152 ( talk) 07:17, 17 May 2015 (UTC)

This article leaves out practically any mention of his personal and family life. It makes him out as a one dimensional character. 106.51.20.188 ( talk) 15:23, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
There's some serious problems with the language used in certain sections, which seems to be more emotional rather than informational. For example this line in the Ford Motor Company section.
"the thugs turned their attention to viciously attack them."
Followed shortly by
"Time magazine published the photographs with descriptions of how the union men and women were mercilessly beaten by Henry Ford's paid thugs"
Another example of this type of language is in the section that recounts Reuther's election as UAW president, where he is described as "a new kind of leader" This language would be fine if it was actually from a source, but instead it is not in quotes and therefore skews the article. The source for all these anecdotes is the biography Reuther's daughter wrote of him, which would probably be the reason behind the biased language. I think that either these accounts should be edited to be impartial while maintaining the content of the source, or they should be deleted completely due to their lack of historical significance and skewing of the article's language. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TankRe ( talk • contribs) 21:21, 11 October 2019 (UTC)
