UAW President Emeritus Ron Gettelfinger Swears in New Officers

My Sisters and Brothers, I want to begin this first message of 2022 with a deep sentiment of gratitude for our union and for all the hard work, dedication, and fortitude our UAW family showed this past year. We had many challenges to face together, and I watched this membership rise to each one of them and support one another, as we always do.

RETIREE MEETING

MONDAY DECEMBER 13

AMERICAN LEGION POST 15, DECATUR, AL

11:00 AM

Here it is December we have almost put another year behind us.  I'm sure you agree the older you get they seem to move much too fast. The past year has still been a trying year for many, not only have we lost several members there have also been reports of family and friends that will not be with us.

On November 11, people across the country will take a moment to honor our military veterans, who have sacrificed their time -- and many their lives -- by serving in the United States Armed Forces. In addition to their brave actions, defending our country and others, these men and women are a valuable resource to the entire labor movement. The UAW has a long history of supporting and recognizing the men and women in our military and their families.

Sisters and Brothers,

This Veterans Day across our great nation, we honor the proud individuals who served our country. We remember the men and women, and their families, who have made the ultimate sacrifice during wartime, those who made it through, and those who gave of their time and commitment during peacetime. We will again remember the willingness and sacrifice of America’s veterans who served our country — service that deserves our lasting gratitude.
