Greetings Brothers and Sisters;

 I hope this reaches you doing well. Recently, I had the privilege to attend the Retiree Conference at Black Lake. In addition to being warned about scams, insurance and health care, we also learned about the gains in the National Agreement. UAW International President Fain explained how the aggressive way of negotiations allowed for us to make the largest increases for our members. And with the help from the current labor friendly administration, we were able to have the resources available when needed and it made the difference.

President Biden is the only sitting president to walk a picket line with striking UAW members. That action was very inspiring to our membership and that’s why the UAW is endorsing him, because we support those who support us.

Reminders: State Primary election is August 6, 2024. We are having our Local 602 Annual Retirees Picnic at Frances Park at 3p-7p on August 21, 2024. Please call the Hall (517-372-4626, ext. 0) to have your name added to list (headcount).

Tomorrow is not promised, please be kind to one another.

 Peace, Love, & Justice;

 In Solidarity,

  Marta
