Black Women’s stories are rooted in authentic lived experiences, real stories of leadership, organizing, and collective power.
This month, we are amplifying the stories and voices of bold, black leaders within the UAW labor movement, both past and present. Starting with International UAW Secretary-Treasurer Margaret Mock.
Born for a life of service, as demonstrated by her entire UAW career, her need to make a difference and represent the constituency has always been at the forefront of her drive to serve. Her journey began at the (then-Chrysler) Detroit Axle Plant (Local 961) in 1994, where she served on multiple committees before being elected Treasurer, and then Financial Secretary. She served as a member of the Bargaining Committee, and as a three-time elected Committeeperson, with the third term serving as Shop Chair. She was an elected delegate to the Constitutional Convention for the Marysville Axle Plant. As a Health & Safety Representative, she fought hard for the membership, filing OSHA charges that placed the company into the Severe Violators Enforcement Program.
As an experienced financial officer and a fierce protector of the interests of UAW members, she ran for the office of International UAW Secretary-Treasurer. In 2022, she made history when the membership elected her to the office of UAW Secretary-Treasurer in the first direct election for the International Executive Board. Her assignments include directing the: Accounting, Auditing, Auto/Labor Leader Insurance and Internal Audit, Benefits/Pensions, Facilities, IT, Investments, Membership, Purchasing, Strike Assistance, Travel and Events, Union Building Corp, Women’s, and the Technical, Office, and Professional (TOP) Departments.
