Local 652 President Mike Green asked us to share this story -- and opportunity -- with you:

No surprise—UAW Members step up for injured member.

On September 16, A UAW Local 652 member was struck by a vehicle and seriously injured after she finished her shift. The member is still in Sparrow Hospital and will have a long road to recovery. Union Brothers and Sisters immediately jumped to action to help the injured member at the scene, and once she was off to the hospital, they promptly started to raise money on her behalf.

The Union members at the plant, led by Sydni Malloy, Heather Hough, Carlos Herrera and his daughter Gabriella, organized a bake sale. It was held at Local 652 on October 9 at the Membership Meetings and raised $1,180 for our injured Union Sister.

Team Members are continuing to accept donations on behalf of our injured member. Please contact the Local Union hall for information on how to donate. There is a reason we refer to each other as Brothers and Sisters, because family ALWAYS step up for each other when one is in need. I am continually amazed by the generosity of our membership, but NEVER surprised.
