ACT-UAW is staffed almost entirely by volunteers. The easiest way to become a volunteer and help is by joining a committee:
CAP COMMITTEE is the political action arm of our local.
We work to promote the interests of our membership through community action and involvement in the local, state, and national
scene. We support candidates with a pro-labor agenda as well as working to further legislation that benefits causes we support
such as unemployment insurance.

message to the membership. The committee produces the Fall and Spring newsletter and manages this website. We need artists
and writers to produce posters and flyers for bulletin boards and we need a person to update our website.

leadership within the Local we train Shop Stewards and membership for upcoming contract negotiations. For the general membership,
we provide workshops to apprise them of their rights, the history of organized labor, how it benefits them at work, and how
they can develop and expand their own skills at organizing.
