Donations needed for striking UAW workers as contract talks remain active
October 13, 2023 // Members of UAW Local 900, which was among the first to go on strike, have received their first check from the union's strike fund. But there's only so much $500 a week can cover. Besides the food boxes donated by United Way, items at the makeshift pantry inside Local 900's hall help them get by until the next check. "We're constantly replenishing. So what you see on the table can disappear by the end of the day or the middle of the day," said Ebony Kennedy, the community service chair for UAW Local 900. They need diapers, wipes, pull-ups of all sizes, toiletries, paper towels, toilet tissue, body wash, personal hygiene products, and cough medicine.
