The UAW-FCA-Ford-General Motors Legal Services Plan (the “Plan”) is a program established and operated solely for the purpose of providing Eligible Participants with personal legal services for legal matters arising under the laws of the United States or Canada. The Legal Services Plan is a Taft-Hartley plan created for the purpose of providing “office legal work” (no litigation) and funds transfer services to certain eligible UAW members. It opened its doors on January 25, 2017. Call (800) 482-7700 to request legal services. “I find secretaries and lawyers very polite and very easy to understand. I very rarely waited long, because I understand that I am not the only person who wants to talk to them. They explain everything in simple language and if there is something I do not understand, they will explain it again. They follow the problem until the last moment. I am very pleased with all the service they have rendered us. I congratulate them on their good work. Our partnership with Feedback Labs and Candid and other partners such as Fund for Shared Insight, GlobalGiving, and Keystone Accountability allows us to evaluate the feedback practices of nonprofits based on information collected on Candid`s website.
