Bargaining Update 7/11/2024

Your bargaining committee met with the University. We spoke to the University about the issues with Veterans. The University is paying the Police Union, yet they refuse our proposal. We questioned them on their comments on why the Police get it off with pay and not the UAW.

Bargaining Update 7/3/2024

Sisters, Brothers and Siblings,

As you know, our contract expired 11:59 p.m., June 30, 2024. We are currently bargaining and working without a contract. Learn more from the FAQ on the website, or reach out to your Zone Rep or the Local 2300 office @ (607)-272-4108 if you have any questions.

Today at bargaining, we moved closer on language that would centralize clothing and shoe allowances under Article 17 REQUIRED APPAREL and moved out of subcouncils. This will make it fairer for everyone who receives allowances and will not negatively impact any current allowances.

Bargaining Update 6/28/2024

Sisters, Brothers and Siblings,


Today was a big day.

We submitted 41 pages of economic demands, including 7 pages devoted entirely to ARTICLE 36, WAGES, to which Cornell demanded detailed justifications!  Let's be clear — this proposal includes COLA plus 46% General Wage Increase, amongst other things to lift our members up! 

We received a counter proposal from Cornell for ARTICLE 13, HEALTH AND SAFETY, for additional training.

Cornell ended our session before caucus by requesting a contract extension again, which received the same response—"NO!"

Bargaining Update 6/27/2024

Good afternoon, Sisters, Brothers, and Siblings,

 Today we received a counter proposal from Cornell for Article 10, FILLING JOB VACANCIES, to address our demand for increased participation when hiring to assist members' career development.

 We received and countered on Letter of Understanding C (CALS Botanic Gardens, FCS Grounds, SCLFA Athletics and Grounds, Agricultural Experiment Station, Farm Services, Horticulture/Poultry Science), related to Article 13, HEALTH AND SAFETY.

Below is a schedule of the 2024 Education Conferences which will be held at Walter and May Reuther UAW Family Education Center - Onaway, MI.  Call letters will be posted as they become avaailable.

Across our union, thousands of UAW members participate in one or more local union standing committees. They are rewarded by a feeling of accomplishment, working with their co-workers on meaningful projects, and “being the change” they want to see for working people. But we need many more activists at the table to help.

Standing Committees

There’s a direct relationship between the ballot box and the bread box, and what the union fights for and wins at the bargaining table can be taken away in the legislative halls.
