UAW REGION 2-B FALL SCHOOL The UAW holds Fall School through various regional structures to provide education, training, and leadership development for its members. For example, UAW Region 2-B recently closed its Fall School in September 2025, focusing on strengthening skills and solidarity among members. Fall School is a period of concentrated educational programming for UAW members, often organized by individual UAW regions. The goal is to develop members’ understanding of unionism, build their skills and foster solidarity and leadership within the union.  BENEFITS OF ATTENDING Skill Development: Members learn important skills for collective bargaining, member engagement, and understanding worker rights.  Leadership Growth: Education opportunities help members develop into leaders within their local unions.  Solidarity and Community: These schools bring members together, fostering a sense of unity and shared purpose.  Increased Union Power: By educating its members, the UAW strengthens its ability to advocate for better contracts and improved quality of life for working families.  Pictured below are UAW Local 2000 members who attended from Ohio Assembly Plant, CLI/Source Providers and Autokiniton this year: Region 2-B Representative and Instructor Pat Wallace Region 2-B Director David Green, OHAP District Committeeperson Aaron Contreras and Region 2-B Assistant Director Rick Smith.
