ELECTION 2016: As the election for President of the United States approaches,
the Citizenship and Legislative Committees at KTP and LAP need your help. They

classes are offered or leaflet information. In addition, the Education Committee
will be holding a “meet and greet” at the LAP Union Hall on Saturday,
October 8th from 6 pm - 9 pm. The purpose of the “meet and greet: is to ask
members what would they like to be more informed about and how they can get
involved. Contact Barb Herber at herberbarb@aol.com or by text at 651-587-5490
for further details.

in-plant Union office on August 15th to sign up. You will need to turn in your

or if you have questions call your ESSP rep on your crew.

JDRF AWARENESS RIDE 8/21: Join us for a great day of fun, food and scenic

10 am. For more information, visit www.FordKTPcares.com or call 502-609-6344.
SHOP FOR A CAUSE 8/26 - 8/28: “Shop For a Cause” (SFAC) is now a three day
event (August 26-28) at Macy’s at the Oxmoor and Jefferson Mall locations.
The way SFAC works is that customers can buy a $5 savings pass that will give
them a certain percentage off in the store all weekend. 100% of the $5 savings
pass benefits the March of Dimes. Last year, some departments were as much as
30% off! This event raises almost $10,000 for us locally! So thank you so much
for all that you have done in the past to make it such a success! Volunteers
will hand out mission materials at the two main entrances and remind customers
to purchase their “Shop For a Cause” pass at the registers. We also need
Ambassador (mission) families to take a treat and thank the associates twice
each day for these three day. If you’re looking for a way to get the volunteer
hours for your child’s Dependent Scholarship, this volunteer opportunity
qualifies. Please contact Debra Eichenberger at 479-530-1141 (please call or
text).

during the term of the contract, eliminate seniority provisions, subcontract
bargaining work, and erode workers’ rights to representation. Despite the
Locals offer to continue working during the negotiations, the company decided to
lockout its workers and hire scabs to do the work till further notice. The
lock-out has become a long financial struggle with our fellow UAW brothers and
Sisters. Please make an effort to donate money or non-perishable food for this
worthwhile cause. Bring all proceeds to the LAP UNION Hall.
