Local 1832 Solidarity Celebration Thursday, June 18

.

To all Members of UAW Local 1832

I am pleased announce, due to the generosity of our Union brothers and sisters, we have enough money in our strike fund to give all of our locked out member another $50 Kroger gift card.

As we all know, the last day we worked at Peterbilt was June 20, 2008, which means we have been locked out for almost a year. I would like thank all of the members for standing tall and together through this ordeal. Our situation is talked about throughout the UAW and how strong this membership is. You should be proud of this.

The E-broad has decided to have a Solidarity Celebration on June 18, 2009 at Madison Park. We will provide the members and their immediate family members with a cookout. The time will be from 11:00 AM until 3:00 PM. This is when you may pick up your card and also for those who receive a check from International.

Hope to see you there.

In Solidarity,

Mike Pardue

To all members who were laid off by Peterbilt effective January 26, 2007

In accordance with the UAW International Constitution, you will automatically retain good standing membership status (voting rights, etc.) until July 31,2007, unless other employment would disqualify you. Between the 21st and 31st of July 2007 and monthly thereafter, the Local Union must be notified in person or by certified mail of the desire to continue your good standing status. When we say monthly thereafter, we are saying within the last ten days of each month. For example; this is to be done again for the month of August between the 21st and 31st, but in the month of September there are only 30 days, therefore you must do this again between September 20th and 30th and every month thereafter. There will not be any exception to this rule.
