Voting is a vitally important right and duty of every American citizen. As a member of the UAW, we further encourage you to be active in the political process of our country. Any gains that we make at the bargaining table can be easily taken away by some elected politician through legislation. It is vitally important to elect representatives that will look out for our best interests as working Americans. We need everyone to get out and make your voices heard in the elections. To help with this, here is a link to a tool that will tell you where your polling place is. 

Call your Representative’s office right now at 1-866-287-6350, and call your Senator’s office at 1-888-329-5096. Make sure you let them know who you are, where you live, and that any federal legislation dealing with this pandemic protects frontline workers and working families across America.

Owen Bieber touched the lives of many during his career, including many UAW members and their families. During his 12 years leading the world’s most powerful union that was 1.1 million members strong, he had a hand in supporting struggles for human rights from Africa to Eastern Europe, and advising President Bill Clinton on labor and economic issues.

Bieber’s work as a union leader went beyond rallies and negotiations. The UAW supported labor and civil rights movements with leaders across the globe, where the stakes were about more than higher wages. He is a leader that will be missed, but never forgotten. Do you have a story about Owen? We'd like to hear it!
