Tell Your Story on IAmTheUAW.org
In order to create an online community where all UAW active and retired members can share their stories, the UAW launched a new interactive web site: www.IamtheUAW.org. The goal: To encourage UAW members to submit their stories. Some are telling the world what they, their local or their local committee is doing in their communities. Others discuss issues important to them and their communities (such as fair trade, health care or workers’ rights), while others share their views on what being a member of the UAW means to them.
