This Holiday Season Buy Union – Buy American for Your Loved Ones

Buying union and buying American shows our willingness to buy only the very best for our loved ones and support fairness and dignity on the job.

Buying American-made is good.
Buying Union is BEST!

Statement of UAW Vice President Gerald Kariem Director of the Ford department on the retirement of Ford’s Gary Johnson

“Over the past year, as Ford and the U.S. auto industry faced unprecedented challenges over the CoronaVirus pandemic, Gary Johnson worked tirelessly with the UAW and our members to address the serious health and safety issues in our workplace with collaboration, honesty and real concern. Although we had differences at the bargaining table, Gary always understood that ultimately UAW members were his family too and it was reflected in the way he approached bargaining. We wish him well in his retirement.

President Rory L. Gamble: Thanks to Give, Good Work Done, and Good Work to Do
