UAW Local Union Press Association

UAW-LUPA members hone their journalism skills in an editing class at the Walter and May Reuther UAW Family Education Center in Onaway, Mich.

Founded in 1978, UAW-LUPA helps UAW local unions produce top-quality, effective communications. UAW-LUPA provides information, training and communications materials for the union’s locals across the U.S., as well as in Canada and Puerto Rico, through a members-only website where materials can be downloaded and posted.

Through LUPA, members can share information about issues and events, exchange communication ideas and tips, and learn from their peers. 
UAW-LUPA also conducts regular conferences for local communicators and holds an annual Excellence in Communications contest for newsletters, Web sites and video to recognize quality work of local union communicators.
LUPA membership is free to all UAW local unions. To join LUPA, download and print this UAW-LUPA membership card. The card must be completed and signed by the local union president and mailed (not e-mailed) to: Joan Silvi, UAW-LUPA Coordinator, International Union, UAW, Solidarity House, 8000 E. Jefferson Ave, Detroit, Mich., 48214.
