I would like to remind everyone about their WEX card. If you have questions, call (844) 440-4300.

The date for our annual picnic will be Tuesday, June 30, 2026. Ticket Sales:

• April 23, 2026

  Non-Dues Paying Members/Associates pay $25.00
  Time: 9:30 am – 2:30 pm

The sign-up date coincides with the Local elections. We do this to make it easier for our Retirees to sign up and vote, so they won’t have to make so many trips to the Union Hall.

We, as retirees, need to make a strong showing on voting; whether it be our Local Union, local government, county, state or federal.

I would like to thank UAW Region 1D Director Steve Dawes, Assistant Director Scott Zuckschwerdt, and the entire UAW Trust Board for the vision of getting us the OTC card and the HRA (WEX) card. Thank you! We, as retirees at Local 659, are 100% behind our leadership.

Please stay safe and be pro-active concerning your health.
