Strike Update
Brothers and Sisters,
Please see the picket schedule for next week, if you need to make adjustments please let one of us on the committee know. Also for the medical ID on the prescription card that will be your social security number. For medical we have notified plan stewards (medical carrier) since the company did cut off medical benefits but did not notify the union. We have sent an email to the company for confirmation but haven't heard back yet.
As we head into another week on the picket line, I want to take a moment to reflect on this past week. It has been truly inspiring to see the way everyone has come together. The energy, solidarity, and commitment shown by this membership have been incredible. Seeing our members, families, friends, supporters, retirees, fellow union members, and elected officials standing shoulder to shoulder with us has been a powerful reminder that we are not alone in this fight.
The company may bring in around 30 temporary workers, but they cannot replace the experience, skill, dedication, and pride that our workforce has built over decades. Our members are the people who built this operation, and no number of temporary replacements changes that.
We will be holding a Veterans Day Strike Rally to recognize and honor the veterans in our membership, community and country. We will come together as a union family to show our veterans the appreciation and respect they deserve. We encourage everyone to come out and stand with us. I will send out a flyer shortly to share.
WEDNESDAY – VETERANS DAY STRIKE RALLY – 11:00 AM
As we move into another week, let's continue to stand together, support one another, and keep the same energy and determination. Take care of each other, stay safe, and remember that our greatest strength through this has been our solidarity.
Every person who shows up matters. Every hour on the line matters. And every one of us plays a part in this fight.
We are UAW Local 405. We stand together, and we stand strong.
In solidarity,
UAW Bargaining Committee
