On our way up to St. Paul, we made a quick stop yesterday afternoon just north of Chicago to chat with Dennis Williams, Director of UAW Region 4. Brother Dennis’ region covers a large portion of the Midwest, including members that work at auto plants that we plan to visit in Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota.
Mr. Williams has been working closely with policy makers throughout his region who are promoting advanced auto technologies and biofuels. He spoke to us about new legislative activities, the closing of Ford’s Twin Cities plant in St. Paul, and some new eco-technologies being built in his region. Check it out!
Thanks for the update from the UAW in Chicago. Your Green Machine tour of the midwest is going to help educate voters about how progress can be made when government, business and unions work together to rebuild America. Congratulations to the Ecology Center.

It's great to see such forward thinking views from our union leaders. Keep it up. There are many people in the union who share these views. By the way, who is on the road trip & what type of car are you driving? Are you guys UAW members?
