Working Groups
To further our union’s advocacy, members have created working groups and committees to strategize, develop, and coordinate action plans around specific topics or campaigns. Working groups are open to UAW 4121 members — you can attend a meeting or just subscribe to a group email listserv if you’re interested. No prior experience necessary. Some working groups are standing, and others are established ad hoc to focus on a specific campaign. Email uaw4121@uaw4121.org if you’d like to start a new working group!
