Update on UAW FCA US, LLC National Negotiations
August 7, 2015
Brother and Sisters:
The UAW FCA US, LLC National Negotiations are well under way. The nine UAW National Negotiating Committee Members, working with the UAW International Union staff, are leading discussions with the company in nine separate sub-committees. We are submitting demands from your local unions that were approved by the UAW Chrysler Council, as well as those discussed at the UAW Special Bargaining Convention.
As in prior negotiations, we are faced with some tough challenges. I am confident that with our staff and your elected Negotiating Committee, we will be successful in reaching an Agreement that will make our membership proud. We are very focused on our membership's agenda and have job security at the top of our list, along with bridging the gap between our traditional and entry-level members.
Our membership has made many sacrifices to save Chrysler from bankruptcy. We should share in the company's success and be rewarded for those sacrifices. As stated by our President, Dennis Williams, "It's our time."
Thank you for your continued support. Please remember, we can only be successful if we all stand together in solidarity. The membership is the Union.
In Solidarity,
Norwood H. Jewell
Vice President and Director
UAW Chrysler Department
