In this issue: Welcome Home PFC Ellis Solidarity Around the Globe ZF Joins the UAW And more!
Students say the outsourcing issue cuts to the heart of what the institution’s values are. EVENTS SHOW HOW WE CAN ALL HELP EACH OTHER The Merriam-Webster dictionary definition of solidarity is “unity (as of a group or class) that produces or is based on community of interests, objectives, and standards.” With the UAW, that is always the case, but three recent situations involving UAW members clearly show what the word is in action.
EARTHQUAKES, HURRICANES AND A PANDEMIC HAVE HIT THE ISLAND HARD It’s been a difficult stretch for Puerto Rico in the last couple of years. People there have been hit with hurricanes, earthquakes and now a pandemic. But whatever challenge is thrown at our 5,000 members who work at a variety of public and private entities, they know their UAW family is ready to pitch in.

Greetings:

Workers at the VALEO Highland Park plant will be voting to join the UAW on Tuesday, August 13, 2019, and Wednesday, August 14, 2019. To show our solidarity and strength, I am requesting that all UAW Region 1 local unions send volunteers to support this organizing rally and to wear red on those days.

 The plant is located at:

VALEO

12240 Oakland Parkway

Highland Park, MI 48203
