Celebrating Martin Luther King Jr.’s Vision – and continuing the fight

Brothers and Sisters, On Monday, we celebrate the great sacrifices and life-changing contributions of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. His vision was one of inclusion, of nonviolence, of respecting the rights of each and every one of us and championing the fact that we are all Americans.

A New Year of Opportunity

My Sisters and Brothers, I want to begin this first message of 2022 with a deep sentiment of gratitude for our union and for all the hard work, dedication, and fortitude our UAW family showed this past year. We had many challenges to face together, and I watched this membership rise to each one of them and support one another, as we always do.

Happy New Year Sisters & Brothers From Local 887

Take Action

Tell Congress: Support the Tax Credit for Union-Made Electric Vehicles made in the U.S.

The tax credit of an additional $4,500 for union-made electric vehicles made in the U.S. is a win for UAW members, unorganized autoworkers, and the entire labor movement. The provision:

Supports the high standards in wages, benefits, and safety that UAW members have bargained for in the auto industry
Incentivizes nonunion companies to stop spending millions on union busters and to allow their workers to form their unions freely
Encourages U.S. auto manufacturers to bring back jobs they offshored
