A Message from Dennis Williams Here is an email that Steve Krueger received on November 10, 2014:

In solidarity,

I want to thank all the members of the UAW who took the time to go vote last week. Our union has faced many challenges over the past several years and we will face many more in the future and voting is the surest way to change the environment in our states and nation. The stark fact that so many others stayed home and did not vote is a reflection that too many Americans are being left out of any economy that promotes the success of a few, while leaving the rest of us behind. While the Republicans now have gained control of the U.S. Senate and House, they also have gained responsibility for representing all Americans, not just the wealthiest among us, but also those who spoke through their silence last Tuesday. If not, they misread the Election returns and will pay a price in 2016 as the loudest voice this election was the silence of many frustrated voters who stayed home. For those of you who volunteered, did GOTV, knocked on doors, dropped leaflets, and did tireless work, a special thank you and please don’t be discouraged. For every valley, there is a mountaintop. See you there in 2016!

Grievance Update 301 grievances filed to date in 2014. Still waiting for Gatekeeper Arbitration decision. A termination arbitration is scheduled for December 11, 2014.

Cool Labor Websites The American Labor Studies Center is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization whose mission is to collect, analyze, evaluate, create and disseminate labor history and labor studies curricula and related materials, aligned to the various state and national standards, to kindergarten through 12th grade teachers nationwide. They will include such areas as the history, organization, activities, and issues affecting the labor movement and the political, economic and cultural aspects of workers and their unions. http://www.labor-studies.org/ The Alliance for Retired Americans is a nationwide organization, founded in May 2001, with now over 4.2 million members working together to make their voices heard in the laws, policies, politics, and institutions that shape our lives. They have enrolled and mobilized retired union members and other seniors and community activists into a grassroots movement advocating a progressive political and social agenda that respects work and strengthens families. http://retiredamericans.org/ Created in 2000, Labor Arts is a virtual museum designed to gather, identify and display examples of the cultural and artistic history of working people and to celebrate the trade union movement’s contributions to that history. http://www.laborarts.org/ The Workers' Comp Hub website provides basic information for workers with job-related injuries and illnesses, and also shares resources to advance pro-worker advocacy and action. The site is a joint project of the National Economic and Social Rights Initiative and National Council for Occupational Safety and Health. http://www.workerscomphub.org/ Workers at the U.S. Dept. of Labor provide assistance with information about hundreds of different work-related issues. This site will acquaint you with some of the important topics they, and the nation’s workers and unions, deal with every day. http://www.dol.gov/dolatoz/
