On December 8 2008, active and retired UAW members from across the U.S. traveled to Washington D.C. to put a human face on the real issues underlying the future of the domestic auto industry, manufacturing, and the American working family. The workers marched to the Rayburn House Office Building and held a press conference to voice their support for Single-Payer Bill H.R. 676, the critical role American manufacturing must play in any serious attempt to address climate change, and the urgent need for Congress to provide the industry aid to protect people, production, and the planet.
NOTE: If you know a member of the press who would like to hear the workers' point of view on these and other relevant issues, please consider directing him or her to the "Contact Us" portion of any of the following websites:

After all, the old rule still holds true . . .
'Expertise in areas where suits aren't required means those who where suits aren't the experts – just hired.'
Thanks again!
