December 2021

Holiday Greetings to all our members. As the Holiday Season is in full effect, I would like to wish all of our members and retirees a Happy Christmas and the very best New Year! As we turn the page on what was a challenging year for all of us, my hope is that the new year brings new hope for turning the page on this pandemic and all that surrounds it. With the announcement of weeks of planned shutdowns from GM some of our Units will be starting the new year with some level of uncertainty. All signs as of now point to 2022 being a rebound year both for our members and the nation as a whole. On a bright note, several of our Units ratified new contracts in 2021 with significant gains for our members. Hats off to all of the bargaining committees for all of your hard work. The Local has made a number of wholesale changes to make sure that we are doing everything to make sure our members priorities come first. The membership meetings are on the second Tuesday of each month at 5pm. These meetings are for ALL members of the Local. Transparency, Honesty and Openness are the overriding principles at the meetings, and I encourage all members to attend and take a more active roll in our Local. Member’s activism and involvement are the backbone of our Union and the key to our Solidarity. As President of UAW Local 724 my door is always open, and my phone is always on. It is my Honor to represent you all in whatever capacity I can. Thank you to all of our members for the hard work that you do every day. May you all have a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and the best New Year possible.

In Solidarity
