Our members are what makes this union great. Here in Region 8 we are initiating a new project that gives members an opportunity to tell their union story. Region 8 Voices gives members 60 seconds to talk about their union experience. We have a number of videos that will be released over the next few months. If you would like to submit one of your own, email a 60 second or less video to UAW Region 8 Assistant Director George Palmer at GPalmer@uaw.net. Below you will find topics for videos. Please shoot videos in horizontal format.
