Welcome to the home of UAW Local 909. As you
may have noticed this website is vastly different from the previous
website of the past 10 years. We thought that it was well past
time to revamp and redesign our website and bring it up to
current standards and give it a new face. This website is the
first step in the process and is only a temporary website. You
will notice that many of the past pages and functions are
missing and ask you to be understanding for all and much more will
return. We ask your indulgence and apologies for any
problems this may cause.
It is our goal to give you the best website we can possibly
build. New features are planned and new pages are being
built. The old website has served you well ( Hopefully )
and was huge. If fact it was well over 500 pages long and
included several thousand graphics or pictures. Late last
December we finally ran out of server space and something had to
be done. Rather than trying to just fix what we have
already done, we decided to a completely re-design and give you
the best. This is costing you no additional money. Some of the
reasons we are able to do this is that the cost of the server
space is provided to you by someone who is a former Local 909
member and a current UAW member at another GM plant at no profit
markup to him. The second reason is that all labor in
building the site is donated by a second former Local 909 member
and the site itself is maintained by your officers or some
family members. It is a group effort done with no
superstars at no profit for no credit.
Over the new few months we will be building the "New and
Improved" website with all the old features and many new
improvements. What we have planed will take some time in
months but it will be done in all haste. Many new things are
planned and we do wish to make use of the internet to its
fullest to expand what is available to you which will include
new methods for social networking. Now is the time to make
suggestions on what you would feel would be the most useful to
you. The UAW does have very definite guidelines for
approved websites and we do follow those guideline. Remember
this in any requests. For any suggestions Please leave a note at
the LOCAL.
Thanks for your time and allowing us to serve you ...
The website team and your local leadership.
