Ratification Vote set for Monday March 2, 2009

All members of the Ford R&E Unit are strongly encouraged to come to Local 245 and vote for the modifications to the 2007 national agreement. I ask each of you to give sincere thought as to how you will vote on this contract modification. If the contract is rejected and the committee is able to return to the bargaining table, the modifications they would come back with the next time will be worse than what we see right now. As you know we are going through unprecedented times in the auto industry and this vote as well as the concessions the rest of the stakeholders are administering are vital to the success of the Ford Motor Company. Your voice is in your vote and it is vital that you make your voice heard! Thank you to the members that took time to come to the explanation meetings on Friday, I do appreciate your attendance. Details for the vote are as follows:
VOTE at UAW Local 245 Headquarters Monday March 2, 2009 (313-561-7500)
POLLS OPEN 7:30 am POLLS CLOSE 5:30 pm
Additional copies of the modification booklet will be available at that time. Thank you!
