This is to bring to the attention of all members of Local 276, that the UAW has decided to call on Local 276 to join the UAW's "Stand-Up Strike" at the Arlington Plant effective immediately. All members and all shifts are requested to refrain from going to the plant and should be prepared to report for strike duty as soon as possible. Any questions regarding your strike duties should be directed to the Union Hall by calling (972) 647-1282 or visiting https://region8.uaw.org/uaw-local-276.
Please go to https://uaw.org/standup/ to see frequently asked questions about the Stand Up Strike, including information about what it means to work without a contract.

In the event of a strike at General Motors, please see the PDF below for your strike duty assignment. More information regarding signing up for benefits, strike pay, etc. will be posted as it becomes available.
