Location:UE Hall (Monroe and Ashland)
Time:9:00PM Saturday, August 22nd
"UE" is the abbreviation for United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America, a democratic national union representing some 35,000 workers in a wide variety of manufacturing, public sector and private non-profit sector jobs. UE is an independent union (not affiliated with the AFL-CIO) proud of its democratic st...ructure and progressive policies. UE operates on two basic principles: rank-and-file control and aggressive struggle. Our slogan is "The Members Run This Union," and in the union's more than 140 autonomous locals around the country, that's exactly what happens. UE carefully avoids the top-down, top-heavy, bureaucratic style of many unions by promoting membership control. The salary of the union's three top elected officers is limited by the UE Constitution to the top wage paid in the industry (currently set at less than $51,000.) It's hard to think (or act) like a big shot on a worker's wage. More important, this policy keeps UE leaders in touch with the lives of our members — we believe it's too easy for labor leaders to develop "boss-like" points of view if they've become comfortable with "boss-size" salaries. Since membership control is critically important to UE, we hold annual national conventions. Elected local union representatives meet each year to set UE policy by debating and approving resolutions submitted by local unions from around the country. To hold conventions less frequently would only reduce the voice of the membership in running the union. Most UE members still work in factories related to the union's traditional jurisdictions — electrical manufacturing, metalworking and plastics. UE members work as plastic injection molders, tool and die makers, sheet metal workers, truck drivers, warehouse workers, and custodians. We build locomotives, repair aircraft engines, assemble circuit boards, manufacture metal cabinets, produce industrial scales and make machine tools. UE members are also teachers, speech pathologists and nurses; clerical workers, graduate instructors, graduate researchers, scientists, librarians, and day care workers. We maintain county roads, drive school buses, conduct research in university laboratories, counsel AIDS victims, treat waste water and engage in hundreds of other occupations. Read More

Wells Fargo, who received $25 billion in taxpayer bailout money, is cutting off credit to Quad City Die Casting, a small business in Moline, IL that employs 80 members of the United Electrical Workers (UE). As a result, the company has announced a plant closing for July 12, 2009. UE, the same union that occupied Repu...blic WIndows last winter, is calling on Wells Fargo to continue financing the company until a new buyer can be found. Wells Fargo is also under fire for its racist lending practices. Join labor and community allies all across the country on Tuesday, June 23 and tell Wells Fargo "You got bailed out, don't sell us out!!" Actions are set in these cities:
