The UAW TOP Department (then called the Office Workers Department) was set up at the 1953 convention under the direction of Walter Reuther to coordinate the organizing of auto industry workers not involved in shop-floor production — clerical workers, engineers, designers and technicians. Later, the TOP Department extended its organizing activities to white collar workers outside the auto industry, including health care professionals. In 1964, advisory councils were set up in selected geographic areas throughout Canada and the United States, the first one in Region 9, to provide a forum for white collar workers and engineers to discuss common needs.
The department services and coordinates bargaining for UAW members working for the State of Michigan, as well as county and municipal employees, engineers, health care workers, insurance industry workers, and many other technical and office professions.
To make sure the concerns of the UAW’s Technical, Office, and Professional members are well represented at the International level, the department created an Advisory Council of representatives from each UAW Region and six councils: 1. Academic, 2. Arts, Entertainment & Media, 3. Health Care Providers, 4. Health Insurance Providers, 5. Private Employment, and 6. Public Employee.

A few contract campaigns across the region are ongoing, with members working to engage colleagues, develop escalation strategies, and build power to win – including Academic Student Employees of Local 4123 at Cal State University, Graduate Student Workers at University of Southern California, Academic Student Employees at Washington State University, and non-profit workers of Local 2013 at Mother Jones.
Since their recent election wins earlier this summer, Graduate Fellows at Pardee RAND and Educational Student Employees at Western Washington University are ramping up to start bargaining their first contracts.

The California Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) issued an official complaint against the UC system on six counts related to retaliation earlier this summer. Members of Local 2865 & 5810 continue organizing to demand that the Regents drop the charges and fully implement the contracts they agreed to.

Mission Statement: Jeep Country Federal Credit Union is a member owned financial cooperative that is committed to providing friendly, personal, convenient and competitive services to its member owners. The Credit Union desires to build lasting relationships with our members in order to enable our members to achieve financial well being while maintaining the Credit Union’s financial strength.
OUR HISTORY: Jeep Country FCU was originally founded in 1938 as the Willys Federal Credit Union serving employees of the Willys-Overland Motors, Inc. As the company’s owners changed, the name evolved to Jeep Federal Credit Union. As the credit union grew through the addition of select employer groups, the name was changed to Jeep Country Federal Credit Union. Membership in Jeep Country FCU is available to employees of the Jeep Assembly Plant and many more select employer groups and their families.
WHAT IS A CREDIT UNION?
Credit unions are not-for-profit financial cooperatives serving members who share something in common-employment, association membership, or residence in a particular geographic area. More than 70 million U.S. consumers are member-owners of, and receive all or part of their financial services from, the nation’s 12,047 credit unions.
PHILOSOPHY AND STRUCTURE: Credit unions are democratically owned and controlled institutions based on ‘people helping people’ principles. Credit union boards of directors are elected by members; each member has an equal vote, regardless of how much he or she has on deposit. Only members may serve as directors, and directors serve without compensation. Credit unions have no outside stockholders, so after reserves are set aside, earnings are returned to members in the form of higher dividends on savings, lower loan rates and lower cost services.
