Welcome to UAW Local 2166

Morgan JohnsonUAW 2166 would like to welcome you to our new webpage where you can find out information about UAW 2166, products we produce and what we stand for. Our GM plant and local union are located in the northwest corner of Louisiana bordering Texas and Arkansas in Shreveport, Louisiana. We produce the Colorado and Canyon small pickup trucks as well as the Hummer H-3. We are scheduled to produce the new Hummer HT truck later this year. We are so proud of the fine men and women of Local 2166 who make all this possible by all the hard work they perform. They have always met the many challenges we face with a strong work ethic whether it is a plant, community or political endeavor. Our UAW 2166 members are indeed something we all can be proud of.

The leadership of 2166 wishes the very best to all our union brothers and sisters and we hope this new format will be user-friendly and informative about our local union.

Morgan Johnson—UAW Local 2166 President

NEW PRODUCTION MAINTENANCE PARTNERSHIP

GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION

Dear Mr. Rapson:

During the current Negotiations, the Skilled Trades Subcommittee held extensive discussions over a wide range of issues surrounding the benefits associated with the implementation of Quality Network's Production Maintenance Partnership (PMP) system consistent with Lean Manufacturing principles that standardize work tasks. The key elements of the PMP system are:

  • Production Operators use tools identified by standardized work to address out-of-standard conditions or perform repetitive activities to sustain production (such as cleaning, minor maintenance, or material tasks).

INTRODUCTION

The management of General Motors recognizes that it cannot get along without labor any more than labor can get along without the management. Both are in the same business and the success of that business is vital to all concerned.
