Area Retired Workers Councils

The UAW has more than 100 regional area councils that are set up by Regional Directors when there are insufficient numbers of retirees to organize chapters. In addition, we currently have 50 international area councils and satellites organized to meet the needs of UAW retirees who have moved to other states and areas in which they have settled in considerable numbers such as the Sunbelt states and other retirement communities.

Satellite centers are extensions of area councils. They serve the same purpose, but due to geographic locations, serve a particular area that is more convenient to a substantial number of retirees living in that area.
