UAW Region 2B

From trade policy to health care, education to retirement security, taxes to roads and highways, politics affects our daily lives. That's why it's essential for working families to make our voices heard in local, state and national politics. And one of the most effective ways to do that is by contributing to our union's voluntary political action committee -- UAW V-CAP.

Call your U.S. senators and tell them to pass the PRO Act now!

The Walter and May Reuther UAW Family Education Center is the realization of late UAW President Walter Reuther’s vision of a world-class worker's education and recreational center.

Region 2B would like to congratulate UAW President Rory L. Gamble for receiving this year's MLK Award from the Michigan Democratic Party. President Gamble has worked diligently throughout his life to protect the rights of all people. We thank him for his dedication and commend him for his efforts.

Take Action

Union members in the public sector are once again under attack and need our support. The Snyder-appointed Civil Service Commission is using the cover of a global pandemic to engage in underhanded union busting targeted at State of Michigan workers. This is not only an attack on dedicated state employees, but also their ability to provide quality public services to the people of Michigan. At a time when state workers have been on the frontlines of protecting the people of Michigan from the coronavirus, these anti-worker commissioners are trying to undermine the right of state employees to collectively bargain. Stand with our brothers and sisters and tell the Civil Service Commission to end these anti-union attacks.

My Brothers and Sisters,

We have all been through a year that none of us could have possibly imagined, and I want to begin this message with a note of thanks to my UAW family for their strength and Solidarity in facing a worldwide pandemic that has forever altered all of our lives. I could not be more proud of what we have accomplished and I am confident that we will continue to do the hard work to keep one another safe.

"The vote is precious. It is almost sacred. It is the most powerful non-violent tool we have in a democracy." -John Lewis

There’s a direct relationship between the ballot box and the bread box, and what the union fights for and wins at the bargaining table can be taken away in the legislative halls.
