As a Member you play a vital role because the members are the highest authority in the UAW. At our union meetings you decide by vote how the local union’s money is spent, what motions are passed and what business is conducted.
As a Member: YOU
- Elect your OWN Local Union Officers
- Run your OWN Local Union Affairs
- Elect your OWN Negotiating Team
- Vote on your OWN Union Contract
- Elect your OWN Grievance Handlers
The membership is the FINAL VOICE of authority and decision in our UAW Union. As a UAW member, one of the easiest things you can do is attend the monthly union meetings. Union meetings will keep you informed - reports are given, decisions are made, and you may ask questions and then vote on what you think should be done. You can also join a standing committee which deals with a variety of subjects from recreation to education, from community service to grass roots political action. No matter how little time you must contribute, there is something for every member.
You can see a schedule of our committee meetings and happenings on our event calendar.
