ADDRESS CHANGES STILL NEEDED: We recently mailed election notices and many were returned for bad address without a forwarding order. If your address or phone number have changed, please call Linda at 440.934.3151 x0 or email her at linda@uawlocal2000.org to update. The plant does not routinely update the local with address updates so it’s very important that you contact the union hall if you’ve moved.
STRIKE CLOSET ITEMS DONATED: We received many donations for our strike closet leading up to the strike. We took many of the donated items to the Stellantis plant in Streetsboro for their striking members and there were many items left over. This week, we are donating leftover donated items to Valor Home, Veterans Who Care and Blessing House.
GENERAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING: The next General Membership Meeting is Sunday, February 11th at 2:30 PM at UAW Local 2000, 3151 Abbe Road, Sheffield Village. Please attend and be informed.
