According to Statistic Brain, over 18.7 billion text messages are sent worldwide every day. With so many text messages being sent, it’s no wonder that text messaging is such a powerful tool for communicating information and staying educated. We use it for everything from getting quick updates from family members to making donations to charity in times of natural disaster to staying up to date on our favorite podcast.

Here at the UAW, we use text messaging to keep our members informed about important issues and events that are of interest to you. What kinds of things might you get if you sign up for text message alerts from the UAW?

  • News about important legislation affecting working people
