Greetings Local 228 Family,
First I’d like to thank you, the members of Local 228,
for the continued show of faith and trust you’ve placed in
me. I will forever work to never violate that trust. When
I ran for the office of Vice-President, I never thought I
would move to the office of President as (fast as) I did. It
has truly been a learning experience!
To be elected (by acclamation) to highest office in our
local union body is a tremendous honor and privilege.
There are no greater rewards or accolades than the
approval of those we serve. Leadership is not an easy
thing. We make tough decisions that affect the lives of
many of our members, and their families. But with an
active, involved membership those decisions become
easier. I have truly cherished the past three years and
I fully embrace (and vow to work just as hard) the next
three!
I’d like to congratulate all those who were elected
in our most recent election. You’ve been given a
tremendous gift and at the same time charged with

decisions that we work for them. For those of you who
were not successful in your bid for office, please stay engaged.
The 50th Anniversary of the Detroit “March To Freedom” is June 23,

starting at 9:00 a.m. Jimmy Settles, Vice-President of the UAW/Ford Dept.
is the 2013 Freedom Walk Chairman. Local 228 will be participating in the
commemorating of the historic march of “1963.” We will be gathering at
Woodward and Forest to march down to Hart Plaza, where there will be a
rally and other festivities. Let’s make sure we have a great showing. Please
bring your families and friends on down and march with us! For more info

VICE-PRESIDENT’s
REPORT
by PAUL TORRENTE
Dear Brothers and Sisters
of Local 228,
I would first like to start by
welcoming the 29 employees from
Shelton Road Plant, and the 9
employees from the Romeo Engine
Plant. The leadership at Sterling is
glad you are here and look forward
to the opportunity to get to know
you soon.
As I write this report, we are pre-
paring for the 34th Annual Scholarship Golf Outing, which will be held
at Pine Valley Golf Club in Ray,
Michigan on June 15, 2013. The golf
outing is a very important event.
In 2013 we were able to give 10
children of members in the plant, a
$500 hundred scholarship for them
to use for tuition, or books. I would
like to thank all of our participants,
sponsors, and volunteers who truly
make this event possible.
The Officers are also preparing
for this year’s Leadership Training,
which will be from June 17th through
June 21st, at the Walter and May
Reuther Education Center. Although
the employee list that will be
attending is finalized, inquire with an
Officer for availability for next year.
Our Picnic this year will be on
August 24th at the St. Lawrence
Knights of Columbus on 21
Mile (between Van Dyke and
Scheonherr). The picnic is a funfilled event and will have plenty of
activities for all age groups, and a
great way to get to know one another
better.
I would like to take this
opportunity to congratulate all the

individuals who were elected on
June 4, 2013. I look forward to
working with all of you serving the
membership, and the community.
I would also like to thank
the membership (all elected,
appointed, and retirees) for giving
me the opportunity to be your Vice
President for 3 more years. I cannot
explain the boost of confidence you
have instilled in me. I look forward
to the challenges the next 3 years
will bring, and know that working
together we can make our little
corner of the world a better place.
In closing, shutdown is around
the corner, and I just want to wish
everyone a great vacation. Enjoy it
with your families, and please be
safe. Enjoy your summer!

whether they won or lost. Every 3
years, every one of these positions become available to anyone who is willing to put in the work and feels they
have something to offer this membership. I have a plaque in my office
that reads, “When we receive a post by

belong to us. We have no guarantee it

are responsible for using it wisely.”

Recording Secretary Virelli ended her report by announcing
Royal Oak Ford’s 4-year contract. Diane stated that typically
bargaining agreements are for 3-year maximum. The way
many of us are getting around right to work laws is to get the
new contracts signed before the March 28th deadline and to
have extended life on them. One teachers union in Michigan
actually signed a 10-year agreement!
APRIL 16, 2013

Greetings Local 228!
Summer is upon us, and just like
the seasons…change in one form or
another…comes to all of us.
It has been my honor and
deepest pleasure to serve you as
Financial Secretary. I’ve learned
a lot and gained so much from
the experiences representing and
serving you, the membership. This
election cycle is in no way an ending
for me but a continuation. I always
stand ready to serve you in any
capacity and at every opportunity.
With deep gratitude I thank each
of you for your support, service and
participation over the years. The
financial
time spent with you, whether it was
negotiating or organizing…in a
seminar or in service to others…at a
party or a protest…have all created
for me lessons and memories that I
will cherish and take on every future
journey. The relationships that we
have been able to build and the
progress that we have been able to
make have laid a great foundation
for the work ahead of us.
The greatest benefit has been the
ability to see “true unionism” at
work – up close and personal! There
is great reward in the effort to better
the circumstances of others! And
the beautiful part is that the reward

and the experiences are there for
everyone, for all of us to partake in,
regardless of title or position.
So allow me to take a moment to
encourage our entire membership
to get informed and get involved.
There is no time like the present! As
a union, we stand at a crossroads.
Politically, there are enemies all
about us. The community at large
has a skewed perception of us and
internally we struggle to educate
and prepare a new and growing
population for activism and
leadership. This is “the” opportune
time to make a difference in our
union and to help shape its course
and our future. The outcome is
too important for any of us to be
apathetic and sit on the sidelines.
I look forward to continued service and participation with you and
the continued work that we have
ahead of us! Wishing you the best
for a safe and enjoyable summer!
In Solidarity, Lisa Mayberry

ACTING plant chairMAN’s
REPORT
BY SAM VULTAGGIO
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
On June 4, 2013 we had elections
for all offices and found who will be
our representatives for the next 3
years. I want to congratulate those
who won their elections and I know
they will serve this membership the
right way. I also want to point out
that 16 positions ran unopposed.
This is the first time in Local 228
history that this many members
ran unopposed and shows the hard
work and dedication of the men and
women who serve in those positions.
Congrats.
Recently we welcomed 38 new
members to our family. I am happy
to say we had the opportunity to add
new employees from the Romeo
Engine Plant and Sheldon Road
Plant. I hope they enjoy being here
as much as we enjoy having them.
I expect all of our members
received their Inflation Bonus Lump
Sum Payment by now. I know how
bonuses come in handy here and
there in life and hope that everyone
found it helpful because bonuses
like that is what we fight for.
If you don’t know already,
shutdown is the first week of July.
I hope everyone enjoys their time
off and gets a lot of rest because
starting in August the production
volume for the F-Series is
skyrocketing. We at Local 228 rely
heavily on the F-Series and are very
exited to be able to take on such a
task.
Finally, I want to thank our Local
President Lorenzo Robinson for
allowing me the opportunity to
serve as our acting Chairman for the
past 4 months. I have experienced
a lot on the job and there is not a
doubt in my mind I will be ready to
take on the role of chairman when
the time is right.
Thank you and have a safe and
enjoyable shutdown.
As always, in Solidarity,
Sam Vultaggio

Bill to Speed Up Foreclosure on Fast Track
Legislation to kick people out of their homes more quickly was
introduced in the Michigan Senate on May 22nd, reported from committee
on May 23rd, and could be on the Governor’s desk by the second week of
June.
SB 380-383 would essentially reduce the redemption period in the
mortgage foreclosure process from 6 months to 60 days. Ingham County
Register of Deeds Curtis Hertel, Jr. told the committee that “a majority
of people we have helped in the foreclosure process would have not been
helped if this bill was law. With all the fraud we have proven in Michigan,
we need more protections for home owners. All this bill does is speed up the
process and will make the problem worse,” said Hertel.
Quick passage of the bill is anticipated in the Senate, with a possible
House Financial Services Committee meeting shortly thereafter. A full
House vote could take place as early as the first week of July.
UAW members are encouraged to contact their State Representatives
and Senators and urge them to vote “no” on this attack on people struggling
to keep their homes in these difficult times. To find your State Senator, go
to http://www.senate.michigan.gov/FindYourSenator/byaddress.htm, fill in your
address and you will get the contact information for your State Senator. Go
to http://www.house.mi.gov/mhrpublic/, fill in your address and you will get
the information you need to call or write your Representative.

Sorry I couldn’t be with you today, but I’m in DC
with our Chairman and the rest of our SUB and CAP
council delegates; also our benefits reps. I’d like to
first congratulate Paul, Kenny and LaNiece for their
successful bid to their respective posts. On Thursday of
last week, they were sworn in here at the local. It was
done immediately so we wouldn’t be in violation of the
UAW Constitution. There will be a ceremonial swearing
in at March’s General Membership meeting.
I ask everyone to keep our sisters and brothers who
have lost someone close to them in our prayers.

Thanks to the Civil and Human Rights Committee and all

our guest speaker and show her the hospitality that only
Local 228 can.
Lastly, I had an opportunity to visit the BMIU
Conference at UM of Dearborn and was asked to speak

In Solidarity, Lorenzo Robinson

President Lorenzo Robinson started his report by
welcoming the membership. Lorenzo stated that with this

have just returned from Sub-Council. Lorenzo reported that
there is a lot of good information shared and good ideas
passed at this meeting. Lorenzo went on to say that he
has prepared a report for anyone who would like to see
it. Lorenzo stated that Jimmy Settles has stressed his

President Robinson reported that we have a couple of
fundraisers. First of course is the Dave Dooley fundraiser.
The proceeds from this event will go to the Fallen and
Wounded Soldiers of Michigan. Tickets have almost sold
out but there are plenty of dinner tickets left. Also there
are still a few t-shirts left to purchase. Also there is a
fundraiser at Rosie O’Grady’s for a young lady named
Kayla who is battling brain cancer. President Robinson
stated that if your Sunday afternoon was free to stop by
Rosie’s and show your support.
To end his report Lorenzo explained to the membership
his commitment to serve in this community and in the
spirit of doing so would like volunteers who are willing to
work in this community. Lorenzo showed the t-shirts that
were purchased for the volunteers to wear so that they
and UAW Local 228 are a visible presence.
Acting Chairman Sam Vultaggio reported that the plant
population is approximately 1,712 with 317 being trades
and 1,337 production.
Sam reported that there has been a lot of good news at
Sterling in the month of March. First, we had a visit from
Mr. Tetreau. He was very pleased with the improvements
that we have made here at Sterling. Mr. Tetreau stated
that if we keep going like we are, he will keep bringing
work to Sterling.
As I sure you have all noticed, there is a lot of
construction going on all over the Sterling Plant. This is
also good news because it is all being done for the new
work we have for the F-150 and the Mustang.
Acting Chairman Sam Vultaggio reported that the doors
at the South west entrance are fixed and painted and in
working order.
Sam reported that the volumes for the F-150 and the
F-250 are expected to go up. So if you are in that area,
you can expect some overtime. Also the transit that was
put on hold for some design flaw is very close to being
ready, so we will be getting busy with that.
Sam stated that we all received profit sharing and that
is sure nice. Thank you to the UAW!
Acting Chairman Sam Vultaggio reported that shut down
has to be announced by the company by April 1st. They
have already committed to shut down for the first week of

Beach. We will post more details as they become available.
Paul thanked all of those who supported, in any way,
the bowling fundraiser that Julie Zuzga held for the March
of Dimes.
To close his report, Paul reminded the membership that
v-cap cards must be filled out every year if we want the
money to stay in Michigan.
RECORDING SECRETARY'S REPORT:
Diane Virelli reported that she is proud to announce that
after only 2 meetings, UAW Local 228 and Royal Oak Ford
have reached a 4-year agreement Their previous contract
was set to expire in April and right to work would take
affect for anyone who does not have a contract or who
is working under an extended contract, on March 28th. It
was ratified by 95%. Now we, as a unit, need to get better
at supporting our brothers and sisters at Royal Oak Ford.
Even though it is a little out of our way, they are a part of
Local 228 and deserve our loyalty and support.
Diane stated that if any member or Committee has information they would like to share through Facebook, with the
membership, all they have to do is to come to the Local and
see any one of us Officers. We will gladly put information
that is pertinent to this membership on our page.
Recording Secretary Virelli stated that it was brought
up that many of our members think we no longer have
legal services as a benefit. The fact is, it is still a benefit
up until December 2013. If you have a case that is still
open in December 2013, it will be processed through until
the issue is finished.
FINANCIAL SECRETARY'S REPORT:
Lisa Mayberry reported that DFM, our cleaning company
in Sterling, has also ratified a contract and that she, along

fact, we were complimented on our diligence on cutting
costs. We were offered a few suggestions to work even
more efficiently.

pay off this building a little early.

wagon of cheer.

to donate please see any of the Officers, Mike Wagner or
Patrick. Any support is appreciated.

they can revise the test to be more specific to the type of
work we do. Sam stated that many of the test questions

doing this throughout the company.

now and shutdown, some of the projects that have been
scheduled are the motorcycle canopies, the gantry in
Department 3, and in Department 16 they are going to

Sterling Ford Production System
Continuous Improvement Team
Dear Brothers & Sisters of Local 228,
As you read this, training has begun for groups consisting of
approximately (30) Team Leaders, Process Coaches and Senior Process
Coaches. Training has been designed to ensure a more collaborative and
participative working environment, whereas everyone understands the
expectations and tasks associated with their role.
The training is being spread out over a 9-week period (one 8-hour
session per week) until completed. Some of the agenda topics include Team
Leader roles and responsibilities, Ford Systems (training and computer
lab exercises), A Day in the Life of a Team Leader and other job-related
modules. Training is expected to continue throughout 2013 and beyond
until all Team Leaders, Process Coaches and Senior Process Coaches have
attended.
A noteworthy point is that the training is being delivered and supported
by members of Sterling’s salaried and UAW team which adheres to Ford
Motor Company’s commitment to having “Leaders as Teachers.”
You may remember that not too
long ago a delegation from Sterling
was sent to Europe to benchmark
a work system that fosters more
involvement and ownership from the
resources to those making the parts
on the shop floor. It is part of Ford’s
“One Team/One Plan” goal for Continuous Improvement.
As expected and not surprisingly, Sterling took what it learned overseas,
molded it into something that will work for us and has begun to implement
something called Maintenance Work Teams. These diverse teams of
professional tradespeople focusing on and working more closely with
production work teams open the door for limitless opportunity to improve.
This form of employee engagement and our willingness to step up and lead
has made Sterling the benchmark for others to learn from.
We’ve become not only the benchmark, but we’re also proud to announce
that Sterling Plant is leading every other plant in North America in the
“One Ford” business model! This is something that we know we could not
achieve without our membership’s embracement to change.
As we move forward with changes, let us all be patient with each other
and understand that change affects everyone differently. Let’s all work
towards a healthy working environment.

SUMMER 2013
Unions Make a Difference for Health
Unions are an
essential part of a strong
democracy and play a
crucial role in America’s
public and community
life. Not only do they give
workers a voice on the
job and help negotiate
fair benefits and wages
for their members,
but they also use their
political and economic
resources to raise the
floor for everyone who
works for a living.
Unions work to
keep us healthy – Healthcare workers’ unions make clinics and hospitals
safer, more efficient, and more responsive to patient needs. And the labor
movement is out in front in the campaign for affordable, quality health care
for all.
Improve quality of patient care – Patients suffering heart attacks have
a 5.5% greater chance of survival if their nurses are union members.
Since Kaiser Permanente established its labor-management partnership,
the integrated healthcare organization has experienced higher patient
satisfaction and better performance.
Enforce adequate hospital staffing levels – Studies show that surgical
patients are more likely to die when nurse staffing levels are low, but
higher nurse staffing is associated with shorter hospital stays and fewer
patient complications. Nurses and their unions ensure higher staffing
levels by bargaining for minimum staffing ratios and supporting nursepatient
ratio legislation at the state and federal level.
Keep patients safe by supporting prohibitions on mandatory
overtime for healthcare professionals – Among nurses, long shifts and
working overtime at the end of a shift coincide with an increased rate of
errors, such as administering the wrong medication or dosage.
Address the nation’s nursing shortage – The support and better
working conditions that unions provide ensure that more trained nurses
remain in the profession.
Improve communication at hospitals and ease the process of
implementing new hospital practices through labor-management
committees.
Lead the fight for quality, affordable healthcare for all – Unions
educate voters, lobby Congress, and urge companies with union contracts to
support affordable, quality health care.

Bargaining Committee Reports:
Bargaining Unit 1: Acting Chairman Sam Vultaggio reported that the plant
population was 1,688; 374 are skilled trades and 1,314 are production. This
Monday, the 15th, we had 17 transfers to Van Dyke. The trades facilities
project manager, Chuck Nakonek, has been scheduling trades to clean closed
departments and areas and putting in new cement so that as new work comes
in, we are ready to have new machines installed quicker. Sam reported that
the motorcycle canopies are scheduled to be installed in July. Department 3
will be getting a new gantry and in Department 16 the plan is to do a “clean
up.” There will be new lights installed and the department will get painted.
. Sam reported that the millwrights will be receiving a 13-day letter in two weeks.

Day, on April 28th, we are going to have a plaque made and installed in the
landscaping under the flag pole in front of the plant.
Sam announced that the Sterling Plant received a second place award for
Health and Safety for the training program for the new hires.

sets and to not allow anyone to wear shorts. Sam stated that the union is
pushing back but the company seems hell bent on these issues citing health
and safety as the reason.
Sam ended his report by stating that Sterling Plant will be getting people
from the ACH plants who want to come to Sterling soon. They have surveyed

Hello Brothers
and Sisters,
We have more
and more new
members added to
our Sterling family every month, and
I hope they all like their new home
here at Sterling. New hires should
have the NESC’s phone number for
their health insurance questions and
also for the wage work cards. If not
it is 1-800-248-4444.
Myfordbenefits.com is the web site
that also has this information for all
Ford employees. Wage work cards
are like credit cards for medical
expenses that Ford loads with
money. Members receive $300.00
for single contracts and $600.00 for
family contracts. New hires only.
Unions are under attack, it seems,
from everyone. You can help your
the ACH plants and have 29 who want to come to Sterling.
At this time acting Chairman Sam Vultaggio took questions about repainting
parking srtipes on the Fab shop parking lot and also about more apprentices
being put on.
Bargaining Unit 3: Chairman Brian Carlsen reported that there are 34
members at Royal Oak Ford and that all is well.
Brian encouraged everyone to come out to Royal Oak Ford and buy one of
the many 2013 cars. Brian announced that Royal Oak Ford has received some
awards recently for service.

local’s will be at Region 1 for an informational meeting regarding retiree health
care. Many of the providers will be in attendance to explain any changes to
your coverage and will be available to answer any questions.
Lenny reported that the retiree luncheon last month had a lower turnout than
usual, but was still a great event.
Chairman Guminski ended his report by stating all of us retirees just “Keep
on Truckin!”
Vice President's Report:
Paul Torrente reported that you may have noticed that we polled the board
more than usual this month and that is because of the International Auditor’s
suggestion on how we purchase things. We polled the board for the “Solidarity”
shirts and are asking everyone to wear these on Wednesdays.
Paul announced that our Golf Outing tickets will be available to purchase
starting at 7:00 a.m. on Monday April 22nd. The tickets are $100 each.
. Paul stated that the Golf league starts on Monday also. This year, it is at
Sunnybrook with our first tee time being at 3:00. The cost is $270, which
includes your cart and a banquet at the end of the league.
Paul reported that we will be walking for the March of Dimes at Hines Park
this year. The reason is because our union meeting is the same day as the walk
at Metro. If you want to make a donation, you can go to the March of Dimes
web site and donate to the UAWlocal228/ Ford/team tanner.
Recording Secretary Report:
Recording Secretary Diane Virelli reported that the Bowling Fundraiser had
the best turnout yet. Diane reported that there are a lot of nice pictures and
they are posted on Facebook. Diane reported that she has signed up to walk

event and announced that after all was said and done, we will be donating
over $10,000.00.
Financial Secretary Mayberry stated that we started making the larger
payment on the mortgage last month and opened a new CD, which will be
reflected on the next financial report.
union help you by contributing
to V-Cap. V-Cap is the political
action fund made up of voluntary
contributions from UAW members,

pro-worker. To sign up for V-Cap
you can come to my office or if you

department, call soon so you don’t
miss out. The number is 1-800-4825007. They will tell you which office

Freddie Haynes II stated that the board tabled any action on the NAACP
