UAW Local 1005

What UAW Local 1005 does

UAW Local 1005 is a chartered local union chapter of the United Auto Workers International Union, headquartered at 5615 Chevrolet Blvd in Parma, Ohio. It operates as a nonprofit membership organization representing workers at multiple employers in the Parma area, including General Motors, Aramark, AVI, PPG Cleveland, and J.A.C.K. Casino/Gaming, plus a retiree membership segment. The local is part of UAW Region 2B, which covers Indiana and Ohio and represents approximately 150,000 active and retired members.

The local delivers collective bargaining, grievance handling, contract enforcement, and workplace safety advocacy on behalf of its members, supported by a standing committee structure spanning Citizenship and Legislative, Civil and Human Rights, Community Services, Education, Women's, Veterans, and other committees. Beyond core representation, the local runs member education and community programs including the Family Scholarship Program at the Walter & May Reuther Family Education Center on Black Lake, Michigan, the Member Mobilization Institute, the UAW Health & Safety Conference, the Union Hall Arts Residency (in partnership with UNITE HERE Education and Support Fund and Talking Dolls Studio), and the quarterly Solidarity Magazine. Member-facing infrastructure includes a UAW mobile app providing access to Big 3 contracts and union resources.

The local is funded by member dues structured under the UAW International Constitution, with revenue mechanics governed by collective bargaining agreements and per-capita remittances to the UAW International. It is governed by elected officers across division-specific units (GM, Aramark, AVI, PPG, J.A.C.K. Gaming, Retirees) and operates under the constitutional and oversight framework of UAW International and Region 2B. No external ownership, M&A activity, or venture capital applies; the leadership changes referenced are democratic elections within the UAW governance structure.
