I am a RETIREE of GM, Represented by IUE-CWA, not the UAW. Everyone knows the UAW made a deal pre bankruptcy to secure the pensions and health care of their retirees. The IUE-CWA was not as fortunate. The bankruptcy judge has allowed GM to align the IUE-CWA retirees with the OLD GM...and we are about to lose our health care. Many of us, myself included, are far too young to get Medicare, and have pre-existing conditions that will preclude us from purchasing health care on our own, even if we could afford it. I am 60 years old, and spent 30 years in the GM plant. After I retired I went to work as a Labor Organizer for many years, but had to quit for health reasons. My heart is in the labor movement...and I am feeling the INJUSTICE in this bankruptcy. If you feel the same as I do, my self and my fellow union brothers and sisters would appreciate your help in getting the word out. We are writing emails and phoning the White House...this is NOT the CHANGE we voted for. Please help us!
In Solidarity,
Marylou Dever
The White House has been deluged by calls and have apparently put the number used in the IUE-CWA GM retiree ads directly into voice mail ... voice mail which is now full. So try 202-456-1414 or 202-456-1111.

About the Kentucky Social Forum: [July 31-August 2 @ Berea College] It is more than a conference, more than a networking bonanza, more than a reaction to war and repression. The KYSF is the first statewide social forum in the US South and will provide space for progressive activists to build relationships, learn from each other’s experiences, share our analysis of the problems our communities face, and bring renewed insight and inspiration. It will help develop leadership and develop consciousness, vision and strategy needed to realize another world.
REGISTER TODAY @ http://kentuckysocialforum.org/?...
The KYSF sends a message to other people’s movements around the country that there is an active movement to make Kentucky a place we can all call home. We must declare what we want our state to look like and begin planning the path to get there. A national movement is rising. The KYSF is our opportunity to demonstrate to the nation that “Another Kentucky is Possible!”
