David B. Green

In 2022, David Green was elected Region 2B Director by the membership under the UAW’s first direct ballot election.

He became a UAW member in 1989 at the General Motors’ Lordstown Assembly Plant working as a summer helper for six years.

He hired into General Motors FAB plant in 1995 where he worked in various capacities including general assembly, material handling, body shop, pressroom, and team leader.

In 2003, he was elected to his first UAW position as a Trustee for Local 1714. He was later elected Vice-President (2006) then served as President (2007-2013) of the local. The two UAW locals representing members at GM’s Lordstown Complex (Local 1112 and 1714) merged in 2018, and in May 2018, Green was sworn in as President of Local 1112. Six months after he assumed the role, GM announced it was closing the plant.

With the closure in 2019, Green moved to GM’s Casting Operations in Bedford, Indiana, where he joined UAW Local 440. At Local 440, he worked as a die cast operator, hot metal driver, Alternate Health and Safety Representative, and later he functioned as an EAP Representative. Green was also elected as a Delegate to the 38th Constitutional Convention representing Local 440, where he still holds his membership. 

Director Green holds a Bachelor of Science in Social Science, Youngstown State University (1999), a Master of Science in Organizational Leadership, Geneva College (2008), and a Graduate Certificate in Instructional Communication, Youngstown State University (2019).

He is a son to inspirational parents, father of two amazing daughters, and husband to a very supportive wife.
