Chartered January 18, 1939, UAW Local 602 is the oldest UAW local union in Lansing!
- "Fisher Body" (Lansing Car Assembly Body Plant)
was the oldest GM facility in North America still in operation
until the last car was built on May 5, 2005. Our members' reputation
for building quality cars for the past 60+
years has earned us the opportunity to move to the new Lansing
Delta Township Assembly plant in 2006, where we now build the
Saturn Outlook, the GMC Acadia and the Buick Enclave.

While many UAW Local 602 members live in the Lansing, Michigan
area, many commute from all over central Michigan, driving anywhere
from 20 minutes to 2 hours one way--another reason we
take pride in building quality vehicles to keep America safe
on the road!
Our members do more than
build cars--we coach Little League, teach Sunday School,
sit on town councils and donate blood. We car pool, we raise
families, we surf the Internet,
we build web pages and communities. We vote.
We work together and play together. We play in bands. We hunt
and fish. We keep each other informed through newsletters, e-mail,
websites and Worker to Worker communications.
Our UAW-negotiated wages support the businesses and charities
in our communities. Our UAW-negotiated benefits protect our families' health, financial
security, and even help locate child
care. The GM-UAW
Tuition Assistance Program (TAP)
helps members and their families increase their job skills through
education.
Our UAW-negotiated holidays
and vacations allow us time to enjoy our families and leisure-time.
Our Retirees
never figured out the meaning of the word "retired."
They man the phone banks during elections, attend rallys, and
lobby the state and federal legislature to help us retain the
rights in the workplace they and their predecessors gained for us.
The UAW got its start in Lansing here at UAW Local 602.
We are very proud
of our heritage, and
of the pioneering spirit of those who went before. As we look
to an uncertain, ever-changing future in a global economy, we
draw faith and courage from their example!
