INFORMATION BULLETIN – www.uawlocal2000 – NOVEMBER 15, 2023 OHIO ASSEMBLY PLANT RESULTS OF NATIONAL CONTRACT RATIFICATION: Production: 66% yes, 34% no. Skilled Trades: 76% yes, 24% no. Nurses: 100% yes. Ohio Assembly Plant voted to ratify the tentative agreement but other plants are still holding their ratification votes so the final results will be forthcoming once all the members have voted. ELECTION APPEAL(S) UPDATE: We regret to inform the membership that the election notice for OHAP Chairperson and District Committeepersons that was just mailed out and posted in the plant has been postponed by the International UAW (IUAW) President’s office. The IUAW overturned the results of our first General Election upon appeal and recently issued a directive to re-run it as soon as possible. In the meantime, another appeal has been filed against that decision. The Autokiniton election was also appealed and a directive was issued to re-run their election. Since Autokiniton is a separate unit from OHAP, we obtained the IUAW’s permission to continue forward with the election that was planned for their unit. Please see Autokiniton’s election information directly below: AUTOKINITON ELECTION: Following the UAW International President’s Office decision of appeal, a new election will be held for the office of CHIEF STEWARD at Autokiniton/UAW Local 2000.
