CIVIL RIGHTS COMMITTEE

The Civil Rights committee is an essential guardian of the "No discrimination policy" of our Union. Members of this committee fulfill the local union's commitment to assure members full rights regardless of religion, race creed, color, sex, political affiliation, nationality, age, disability, marital status or sexual orientation.

The Committee informs members of steps and procedures, including filing complaints and hearings, whenever a member or members believe their rights have been violated, either by management or other union members. The committee works toward the elimination of discrimination in the workplace, the community and the nation. Members of this committee have the opportunity to keep the local union moving toward the fulfillment of our UAW commitment on the civil rights front.

This committee needs members who feel a moral obligation to speak out on issues of intolerance, injustice and bigotry and to rebuke any person or group that expresses such and activity.
