Happy Holidays to all my UAW Brothers and Sisters!

As we approach the end of another year, I hope we all take a moment to reflect on how we can make the holiday season, and the year ahead, more fulfilling, prosperous, and meaningful. While many are focused on holiday expenses—gifts, travel, and spending time with loved ones—it's important to remember that this brief time will pass, and we still have a responsibility to plan for the future. I know that some of you may still feel disheartened by the outcome of the election, and perhaps those feelings are affecting your day-to-day interactions. However, we must not let things beyond our control overshadow our lives or well-being. Remember, there is a plan for each of us, and we must strive to be our best selves in order to embrace whatever comes next. At its core, the UAW stands for solidarity, and together, we will continue to fight for what's right.

If you have food on your table, a steady job or reliable retirement benefits, and the love and support of family and friends, you are already beginning the New Year with blessings that many can only dream of. As we step into the New Year, take a moment to think of those who may not have even half of what we often take for granted. Let’s keep them in our thoughts and extend our generosity wherever possible.

Wishing you all the best in your celebrations; a Joyous Hanukkah, a Merry Christmas, a Happy Kwanzaa, and a Blessed New Year!

In Solidarity,

Muhammad
