UAW 129 Holds Picnic September 22

Allie Xanders, Haven Gomez, and John Bradley of UAW 129 posed. Her shirt reads "A woman's place is in her union." The sign reads "UAW Local 129. United for the Greater Good"

Members of United Auto Workers Local 129 gathered in Mike Lewis Park, 260 N Carrier Parkway in Grand Prairie, to enjoy a beautiful September 22nd together. Big smokers were pulled in behind pickup trucks to make a festive barbecue. Local 129 is an amalgamated union, which means that it has more than one contract with different employers. They have 13 contracts, according to Allie Xanders at the picnic; consequently, the union members from different workplaces know one another only from union events like this one.

A special community forum with officeholders and political experts was scheduled for after lunch. President Clara Faulkner is proud of the turnout at union activities.
