UAW LOCAL 387

WHO WE ARE!

​

The International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (UAW) is one of the largest and most diverse unions in North America, with members in virtually every sector of the economy.

 

UAW Local 387 represented workplaces include The Woodhaven Stamping Plant, Woodhaven Forging Plant and DFM Automotive.  We service both active and retired members. The UAW Local 387 currently has 3 Local Contracts with 2600 members, both active and retired.

 

A unique strength of UAW Local 387 is the solidarity between our active and retired members. A solid majority of our local union’s retirees stay actively involved in the life of our union, participating in the Local 387 Retiree Chapter.

 

Since its founding in 1965, UAW Local 387 has consistently developed innovative partnerships with the company and negotiated industry-leading local agreements for our members.

A Voice For All

As impressive as it is, the UAW’s success record at the bargaining table is only part of the story. From our earliest days, the UAW has been a leader in the struggle to secure economic and social justice for all people. The UAW has been actively involved in every civil rights legislative battle since the 1950s, including the campaigns to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the Fair Housing Act, the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1988 and legislation to prohibit discrimination against women, the elderly and people with disabilities.

​

The UAW’s commitment to improve the lives of working men and women extends beyond our borders to encompass people around the globe. Through vigilant political involvement and coordination with world labor organizations, we continue to fight for enforcement of trade agreement provisions on human and worker rights, fair labor standards and a new approach to international trade — one that raises the quality of life for working people worldwide.
