April 2022

Hello Brothers and Sisters.

As I write this letter Spring is upon us. Warmer temperatures and sunshine are on the way.  I recently had the Honor to attend the UAW Financial Officers Conference. I attended the Roles and Responsibilities class. I learned of the importance of checks and balances. Our roles as Financial Officers of our Local are of the utmost importance. I am very proud of our Local and our transparency. The 38th UAW Constitutional Convention will take place July 25 -July 28,2022 in Detroit this year. The Local and Unit Nominations and Election dates have been established by the Unit and Local Election Committees. Please see the nomination and election notices later in this edition. The Local and Units will handle the nominations separately. The elections for both Local and Units will be held the same day. Our Bridgewater Unit has received 2 (two) Delegates. Our Dakkotta Unit has received 1 (one) Delegate. The Local has received 2 (two) miscellaneous Delegates.  Please see the Notices posted later in this edition and that will be posted at your worksite.  On the Local level I am pleased to see the recent developments of successful Organizing campaigns. From Amazon workers voting for the first ever Union worksite at the Amazon warehouse in New York to many more throughout the United States. Workers are standing up more than ever for better working conditions. I am proud to have the Honor to represent all of our Members at Local 724 and never take that privilege for granted!  I hope all of our Members have a fun and safe summer with your families.
