Friday April 30, 2021 is the last day for karen Rohrssen, our Admiinistrative Assistant at UAW Local 276 for the last 36 Years. karen came to work at local 276 in the spring of 1985, and have seen many many changes in the local and the General Motors Assembly Plant. She has worked under Many Presidents and Many Shop Chairpersons, and has been a part of every significant event that has happened at this local during this time. An Era has ended, and a new one will begin as we try to continue in the shadow of someone that we have relied on for so many years. karen, enjoy your retirement.
We have all been through a year that none of us could have possibly imagined, and I want to begin this message with a note of thanks to my UAW family for their strength and Solidarity in facing a worldwide pandemic that has forever altered all of our lives. I could not be more proud of what we have accomplished and I am confident that we will continue to do the hard work to keep one another safe.
Now an International event, Earth Day has been celebrated since April 22, 1970 and its origins are here in the United States. In fact, this annual celebration wouldn’t exist without legendary UAW leader Walter Reuther.
Detroit — I watched in horror last week and this weekend, along with the rest of our nation, as the headlines rolled in once again with reports of bloodshed, terror, tragedy and senseless loss of lives. America woke up Friday morning to the news of a mass shooting in Indianapolis, Indiana that took the lives of eight innocent people and injured several others. By the end of this weekend, at least nine more people had been killed in shootings across the country — in Illinois, Texas, Wisconsin, Ohio, Nebraska and Louisiana.
