Goal

Negotiations between UAW Local 997 and Thombert Inc have failed to produce a fair and equitable agreement, leaving UAW members no choice but to strike. These workers are fighting to achieve a fair agreement and to regain the respect they deserve in their workplace. Please join this fight by helping Newton's Local 997 navigate their way through the economic uncertainty of striking today for a better tomorrow.



Federal law prohibits the UAW soliciting or collecting any funds or other thing of value from any employer with whom it has or may have a collective bargaining relationship. If you are employed in a managerial or executive position, or as a labor relations expert, advisor, or consultant, by an employer or related entity that: (a) has a collective bargaining agreement with the UAW, or with whom the UAW is recognized or certified as the authorized bargaining representative of its employees, (b) that is the subject of an actual or planned organizing drive by the UAW, or (c) that is engaged in an industry or line of business in which the UAW has traditionally represented or sought to represent or would admit to membership its employees, then you MAY NOT contribute to this fundraising drive, and the UAW will not accept any contributions from you. UAW policy also prohibits the solicitation or collection of funds from vendors with whom the UAW has a business relationship. If you are employed by such vendor and have authority to make financial decisions for the vendor, or to direct that the vendor make financial contributions, you MAY NOT contribute to this fundraising drive, and the UAW will not accept any contributions from you.
