Brothers & Sisters,
You've got talked and we noticed you. We've been listening to your own problems and matters through the local union direction.
We've got actual challenges. Each of us knows that without investing and commodity there's no accurate job protection. For anyone to propose we support goods going to Mexico is only balderdash. We've been fighting NAFTA and other trade deals daily and are nevertheless fighting.
We are aware that healthcare is a challenge due to the increasing price of medical and pharmaceutical rewards. We've consistently fought to avoid paying rates and we are going to keep doing thus.
We tend not to need another VEBA or a Taft-Hartley for lively automobile members. We feel that health care needs to be supplied by the company.
What we do need would be to look for a method to work with our collective amounts and information to be forward of health care inflation instead of to merely wait for insurance and drug companies to only hand above a statement to fill their particular pockets. That is the reason why we needed to make a way to work jointly, using centres of excellence, offering members an actual pick for his or her households without passing on price.
Eventually, external groups like to stir folks up. You, our members must make choices according to what is right for you personally as well as your households. No one else must pay the the price tag on a strike. No one else will drop a pay check or a house.
We met together with the UAW-FCA nearby union leadership at excellent size and so are struggling to address your problems taking everything in to consideration including all the challenges.
Our duty will be to you, the membership. We will carry on to haggle for you. We're likewise planning to tell the entire narrative. This can be an extremely serious scenario. I request that you just get the the important points as we continue to deal with your problems. During another several days we'll be publishing more details and explanations, expecting to get these details into your fingers. Please keep checking UAW.org as well as the UAW International Union face book page for upgrades.
In Solidarity,
Dennis
