Upcoming UAW “One-member-one-vote” referendum
We will discuss the upcoming referendum on whether the UAW will transition from a delegate system for union-wide elections to a “one-member-one-vote” system, in which each member votes on our national leadership directly. All members of our union will be able to participate in this referendum, likely over the Fall. Click here to read some resolutions passed by other UAW Academic Locals.

Finally, for Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, the UAW Education and Events Subcommittee of the Civil and Human Rights Council of our Region (9A) is organizing an online Forum to discuss the history of anti-Asian racism in the US, as well as the current experience of our members.
Please, join our UAW members across Region 9A on May 26, 7:00pm-9:00pm in this important conversation. See more details here and register here: http://bit.ly/UAWMay26
