GM-UAW CONTRACT UPDATE
LEGAL SERVICES BENEFIT RETAINED

According to a newsletter sent to UAW members and reprinted at freep.com (the website of the Detroit Free Press), the legal services benefit for UAW members will remain unchanged. The parties will work to improve representation relating to application for social security disability benefits.

The contract may have some impact in who is eligible for services. Benefits coverage for college-age children is limited to full-time students. Also, coverage for wards is limited to relatives of the UAW member.
