Brothers and Sisters,

I want to thank all of you who signed up for V-CAP check-off and are participating in the Region 5 V-CAP Cruise raffle.

It has always been essential for working families to or make their voices heard in local, state and national politics that affect our daily lives. Your generous contribution to UAW V-CAP allows us to support candidates who will stand up for our members.

Without your help, we would not have these opportunities. If you are not yet signed up for V-CAP check off or would like to become a member of the Directors Club or Century Club, talk to Debbie Williams, CAP Chair; CAP Committee members, Ron Lopez, Perry Dean, or your Union Representative. Thanks again!

In Solidarity,

Sergio U. Santos
UAW Local 2244 President

What is V-CAP?

From trade policy to health care, education to retirement security, taxes to roads and highways - politics affects our daily lives.

That's why it's essential for working families to make our voices heard in local, state and national politics.

And one of the most effective ways to do that is by contributing to our union's voluntary political action committee - UAW V-CAP.

Our contributions to UAW V-CAP are used to support the campaigns of pro-working family candidates who have earned the endorsement.

 
V Means Voluntary

Always remember that both checkoff authorization and the amount to be deducted are purely voluntary. No UAW member can or should be compelled to contribute to the UAW V-CAP fund.

A member can cancel his or her authorization by written request at any time. The keys to increasing participation in V-CAP and our other political, action efforts are political education and communication, not high-pressure tactics.

 
Questions about V-CAP
Q. Why do we need UAW V-CAP? I thought the UAW used dues money for campaign contributions.

A. That's a common mistake. The fact is that federal and many state election laws prohibit unions from contributing members' dues money to political candidates. The only money that can be used for contributions to candidates is money that members voluntarily contribute to our political action fund, UAW V-CAP.

Q. How does UAW CAP decide which candidates to support?

A. Typically, candidates are interviewed by a screening committee of CAP activists. The screening committee makes its recommendations based on its evaluation of the candidates' voting records and/ or positions on trade, education, Medicare, pension security, striker replacement, workers' compensation, unemployment insurance and other issues that directly affect UAW members and our families.

Q. That sounds good, but doesn't UAW CAP endorse only Democrats?


A. No. Endorsements are based on the candidates record and positions on issues, not only on party. Over the years, UAW CAP has endorsed pro-working family independents and Republicans, as well as Democrats. The bottom line is that "UAW CAP supports candidates that support us."

Q. How do I contribute to UAW V-CAP?

A. The UAW has negotiated a checkoff provision with General Motors, Ford, Daimler/Chrysler and a number of other employers. To participate in checkoff, simply complete and sign a UAW V-CAP checkoff card. This card authorizes your employer to deduct the amount of money that you specify from your pay-check, and your contribution is automatically sent to UAW V-CAP Checkoff cards for UAW V-CAP are available from your local union CAP representative.
