COMMUNITEE ACTION PROGRAM (CAP)

Since being elected President, Local 14 has been able to be even more engaged in politics. I am Currently the Vice President of the UAW Toledo Area CAP Council which represents close to 25,000 UAW Members. At our local, we had a visit from Joe Biden in 2020. We took this opportunity to advocate for new electric vehicle work which we were able to secure. We hosted Senator Brown for a workers rights forum. I was invited to Washington D.C. to be a witness for a Congressional Select Committee for Economic Disparity and Fairness in Growth. When the Governor attended our product announcement, we took the opportunity to let him know about the problems with the unemployment system. We don’t miss out on opportunities when they present themselves and we created a few along the way.
