Welcome!
I am Tim Smith,UAW Region 8 Director and this is my personal communication page. Region 8 represents over 200,000 active and retired United Auto Workers across 18 states across the southern portion of the United States from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean.
Covering that much area can be a daunting task, but we in the UAW are resilient. Our official page is uawregion8.org , which presents news and events for our members. It is my hope this page will compliment that page and provide addition information for our members.
I will share news from our region, photos of the , my schedule (I would love to meet members as I travel across the region) and news from the industries our members work for.
For me it is both an honor and a privilege to serve this membership every day. I am so pleased you took the time to look at my page and hopefully you will find useful information here!
In Solidarity,
This site is not an official UAW communication, nor is it intended to be. It is the personal page of UAW Region 8 Director Tim Smith and is maintained and paid for by Tim Smith. No UAW resources were used in the development of this communication. Titles are given for identification purposes only.
