Staying a member in good standing
Article 16 of the UAW Constitution
Laid off members are considered to be in good standing for the first six months.
What to do after that?
Use the address and membership update page each month thereafter.
It is very important for each member to regularly keep in touch with your local UAW office.
To update any address or phone number changes simply fill in the form information by locating the tab in the upper right corner of this page.
Attend monthly membership meetings the second Saturday of each month. Unless other wise posted on this site.
President and Shop Chair Billy Rose has made himself accessible to you, the membership, to answer your questions and concerns.
Periodically letters of interest to the membership will be posted on this site.
