UAW Local Officer Survey Invitation

I’m pleased to invite you to participate in a survey of UAW local officers. The survey is for a research project to learn about issues affecting union locals like yours. This webpage has answers to questions you might have.

Why participate?

• We value your input. We contacted you because of your expertise and role in the UAW.
• Your answers will help lawmakers, researchers, and the public better understand issues important to your union.
• We will share early results with you, so you can learn what other locals like yours think about issues affecting the UAW.

Why am I receiving this invitation?

We are contacting UAW local officers because of their knowledge about the UAW. We value your views and hope you will consider participating.

Why are you interested in this research?

We’re interested because of the UAW’s importance for the economy and communities throughout the country.

I also have a personal connection. My dad used to work at GM’s Milford Proving Grounds.

Where will the findings be shared?

We will first share a results summary with people who completed the survey. We will then submit the paper to academic journals and share findings with policymakers.

Should I take the survey if someone else at my local has already done it?

Yes. We’re surveying all local officers, including the President, Vice President, Recording Secretary, Financial Secretary, Sergeant at Arms, Guide, Trustees, unit chairpeople, and Stewards.

Should I take the survey if my members aren't in the auto industry?

What to do if I need help taking the survey?

The survey should be easy, but technical problems can happen. Please don’t hesitate to contact me at afg2@princeton.edu.

Who are you?

I’m a graduate student at Princeton University and an incoming Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan. Go Blue!
