The Region 8 Calendar, Built By the Locals
Every meeting and steward training posted by a Region 8 local in this app lands here automatically — one feed for the whole region. Tap any entry to go straight to that local's page.
Nothing posted across the region right now.
This calendar is live — it is not typed in by hand. The second any Region 8 local posts a meeting or a steward training from its own admin page, it shows up here and every member signed up for Region 8 updates gets an email. Officers: post it on your local's page and it lands here.
One signup, whole region

Members usually only hear from their own local. Sign up once and you hear from the whole region — every event, every steward training, across all ten locals.

What Every Region 8 Member Should Have Bookmarked
Region facts, department pages and member links on this page come from uawregion8.net, the official UAW Region 8 website. All Region 8 website content is copyrighted by UAW Region 8. This page links to it rather than reproducing it, and adds the local tools we host. Not an official UAW Region 8 page.
