Motion made that going forward, all future
requests received from local 9 standing committees should
include plans to use their committee funds
to pay for milaege and daily expenses, before requesting
furthur support from the local. If a committee
does not have sufficient funds to cover the entire milaege and daily
expense cost at the time of their request,
then the local may cover the remaining portion of their request.
The Education Committee is responsible
for putting into operation the
education mandate adopted by
the UAW Convention delegates.
Available to the Committee are
videos, films, workbooks, handbooks, and brochures.
The Community Action Program is
the political-legislative arm of Local 9.
The CAP Committee strives to
keep the membership informed and encourages them
to get involved in issues and
positions of public officials.
