Warren
Davis was elected director of UAW Region 2 on May 18, 1983 at the UAW’s 27th Constitutional Convention in Dallas, Texas. Prior to his election as director, he served for 13 years as assistant director of Region 2, which covers 36 counties in northeastern Ohio and northwestern Pennsylvania.
Davis has been active in the UAW for over four decades. He became active in Local 1250 soon after he hired in at Ford as a foundry worker in 1954. For all but two of the years that he was active in Local 1250, Davis served as a member of the local’s negotiating committee, and for three terms during this period, he was elected to the positions of chair and vice-chair of the plants-wide bargaining committee.
In addition to his service on the negotiating committee, Davis held numerous other elective positions at the local, including the positions of committeeman, recording secretary, and vice president, before being elected president of UAW Local 1250 at Ford Motor Company’s complex in the Cleveland suburb of Brook Park, Ohio.
In 1968, Davis was elected as the first president of the Greater Cleveland UAW Community Action Program (CAP) Council. In that post, he helped to build the Council, covering 50,000 UAW members and 45 locals, into an effective political action force in northeastern Ohio.
Davis is a member of the Democratic National Committee and an Executive Committee member of the Ohio Democratic Party. He also serves as an advisory board member for a number of labor-based social service groups and labor conscious community groups.
