Welcome to the home page of UAW Local 6888, representing over 300 Office Professionals at Central Michigan
University. CMU's Office Professionals first organized as an independent
union in 1968. In 1988, we joined the UAW. The rest has been history
in the making! Click here to view a timeline of
Local 6888.
Local 6888 is committed to securing economic and social justice for
our members, as outlined in the principals of the International UAW. Our goal is
to uphold the American standard of living according to the needs of our members
and to strive for dignity in the workplace.
This site is dedicated to bringing accurate and up
to the minute information to our membership.
RED WEDNESDAY
UAW employees and officers will be wearing red every
Wednesday to show their support for public sector workers under attack by
Republican governors and lawmakers who are pushing policies that will wreck
America's middle class.
Wednesdays are 'Solidarity Day' at Solidarity House, the
UAW's headquarters in Detroit and at other UAW offices throughout the
nation. The union is also encouraging its members to wear red on Wednesdays
to show solidarity with public sector workers.
Local 6888 leadership is asking our members to wear red every
Wednesday also, to show our solidarity and support for all working people in
Michigan.
"Although
it is true that only about 20 percent of American workers are in unions,
that 20 percent sets the standards across the board in salaries, benefits
and working conditions. If you are making a decent salary in a non-union
company, you owe that to the unions. One thing that corporations do
not do is give out money out of the goodness of their hearts."
