Hello Brothers and Sisters,

I hope you have all had an enjoyable summer whatever you chose to do. By the time you receive this, what I’m sure, is on every one of our members’ minds is what will happen with the impending threat of a UAW strike at the Big Three. Will I be laid off? Will I still be able to work? What will happen to my benefits? How long will the potential strike last? While our members will 100% support our fellow Brothers and Sisters when, and if, a strike happens the impact of it will undoubtedly be different for the members who supply these big three plants. I understand that our members will have many questions and I encourage you to reach out to your respective elected leadership at your worksite.   The Local will provide whatever information that is available to our members as we receive it. The Local will provide whatever resources that are available to our members that are impacted. Please contact the Local if you have any questions or concerns related to the status of the potential strike and your status as it relates to your job at your particular site. Your respective Leadership at your worksite will be working with the company to work through any potential issues related to the potential strike. I hope that if there is a strike that the impact on our members is minimal and our brothers and sisters get a fair and equitable agreement that provides job security for the members in the IPS sector as well.

In Solidarity,

Todd
