UAW Local 31 General Membership Meeting
500 Kindleberger Rd, Kansas City, KS 66115
The union meeting is the heart of where members debate the issues facing their membership and where they vote on matters like union expenditures. We all belong to an organization and it is up to each of us to make time to meet monthly and have our voices heard on vital union issues!
Take Action
The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) awarded the $6 billion contract for the next generation of postal vehicles to Oshkosh Defense, a company with a reputation for tough military trucks built with union labor with just a small number of electric vehicles on order.
But instead of using this opportunity to expand quality jobs under a decades-old union contract, the company plans to refurbish a vacant warehouse in another state and build these vehicles without a commitment to union wages or representation.
Let’s Build Back Better and put letter carriers in union-made vehicles that are good for the planet. Add your name and sign the petition if you agree.

Thousands of union members wear red shirts on Wednesdays as a sign of solidarity.
When a sea of red shirts greet management, it’s a way to let them know that the workers stand together.
There’s a direct relationship between the ballot box and the bread box, and what the union fights for and wins at the bargaining table can be taken away in the legislative halls.
