What Does The New Right to Work Law In Indiana Mean to Local 2209 Members? Right to Work Legislation for The State of Indiana passed through the House in January 2012, the Senate passed it on 2/1/2012. It was signed into law by Governor Mitch Daniels the same day it passed the Senate. Here is the information all UAW 2209 members need to know.

"Right to work as a law in Indiana goes into effect

immediately, but affects only contracts entered into

or renewed from 2/1/2012 forward. The UAW/GM

National Agreement was· completed in September

2011 and is in effect through September 2015."

Unit II - UAW Nurses and our Unit III Caravan/Knight members are also under the same rule. That rule is in effect until the expiration of their current contracts.

Per Article 16 Section 2 of our UAW Constitution it states:

"all dues are payable during the current month to the

Financial Secretary of the Local Union. Minimum

Union dues shall be a sum equivalent to

two (2) hours straight time pay per month.”

For the past year, public employees around the country have been under attack. With collective bargaining cast as a fiscal issue, private sector workers are encouraged to vent their economic frustrations at lazy government clerks living high on the hog off others’ hard-earned tax dollars. “We can no longer live in a society,” Scott Walker, then governor-elect of Wisconsin, argued, “where the public employees are the haves and taxpayers who foot the bills are the have-nots.”
