UAW Ford Department

Under UAW Vice President Jimmy Settles, the UAW Ford Department represents more than 47,000 production, skilled trades, engineers and salaried workers at Ford, ACH, and 1,900 members at Severstal North America (formerly Rouge Steel). Settles is also the co-director of the UAW-Ford National Programs Center, which is responsible for Union and Company joint initiatives that are both national and local. At both levels, they address matters of common concern in areas such as product quality, education and development, employee involvement, team structures, work technical skills redesign, health and safety, ergonomics, employee assistance, apprenticeship, and labor-management studies.
