UAW Region 8 is asking for donations to help our brothers and sisters hurt by Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton.

New leadership was sworn in at the June 30, 2024 monthly membership meeting. International Rep David Barker led the oath from the UAW constitution.

Region 8's Community Action Program took a recess to go and help out at the North Texas Food Bank. We opened crates of food and re-packaged them for hungry families. Director Tim Smith led chants and everybody had a great time doing something good for hungry North 
Texans.

The Election Committee is set, though they might take more volunteers, and the official election notice has been sent out.

Monthly membership meetings are the core of democracy in our union. The February 3rd Sunday meeting started the process for electing our officers. We also took some time to join one of our members in some important charitable work.

The Texas AFL-CIO chose candidates at their political convention in Austin January 28-29. They also passed resolutions favoring labor, including one asking for a cease fire in the Middle East.
