UAW Local 862 Elections – Local 862 elections will be held May 22nd from 4:30am thru May 24th at 4:30am, at both local union halls, and May 23rd , from 1:30pm-5:30pm at the EHVC plant (please vote at your respective hall). Please refer to the “Election Notice” that will be distributed throughout the plants for nominated members and positions. If you do not have proper identification, you will not be permitted to vote.
Veteran Health Identification Card (VHIC) – The VHIC is for identification and check-in at VA appointments with added security of your personal information. In February 2014, the VA began issuing the VHIC to newly enrolled veterans and enrolled veterans who were not previously issued the old veterans ID card. Beginning in May 2014, the VA will automatically mail a VHIC to enrolled veterans who were issued the old cards. Because they are reissuing more than 6 million cards, they are asking for your patience during this time. Veterans who were issued the old cards do not need to return to their VA medical center to have a photo taken for the VHIC.
