U.A.W. LOCAL 2000 – INFORMATION BULLETIN – JUNE 26, 2025
PHONES AT THE UNION HALL: Our phones at the union hall are still down because our old company has been keeping our phone numbers hostage this entire time. We are told they will be released to the new provider sometime next week. Please continue to leave messages on our voicemail or via email during normal business hours to contact us until this issue is fixed. We’re checking our messages hourly so we will get back with you as soon as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience but it’s something that is completely out of our control. We thank the membership for your patience during this time.
