One of the questions being asked is whether or not the UAW membership lost or otherwise had changes made to the employee purchase benefit.

Can you please comment on this? Thanks.

Both my sons went to the union meeting in Kokomo Indiana, and neither mentioned it. They received a bunch of papers and one hit the highlights for me, but that wasn't one of them.

Thank you, Leathal.

Is it possible that the CAW contract is the one people are talking about?

In case you're wondering why this is of interest, true EP impacts dealer/factory volume. Termination of the EP benefit would equate to lower volumes and more dealership failures/terminations.

Conversely, in towns where GM or Ford have assembly operations, the loss of EP to their employees would be a boon to Chrysler dealers.

I think it just may be for the CAW. I can ask tomorrow though.

The UAW did NOT lose EP, only the CAW employees lost the EP.

Actually we didn't lose our EP. We lost our "E-Bopnus" which is a one time, over the contract, $2600 discount below the EP price. So EP price stays but the One time $2600 discount is gone...
