Each Sub-Committee is assigned a Primary and Secondary National

Negotiator; an Assistant Director, and a secondary member of the
National Ford Department; and an Administrative Assistant to oversee
the Sub-Committee. As well as supportive roles such as note taker and
time keeper.
The company is represented by a Chair and Co-Chair.
Economic issues are addressed at the Main Table and negotiated
directly by Vice President Jimmy Settles, with support from UAW
President Dennis Williams office. These supportive components
include Legal Counsel, Social Security, Strategic Research, and
Insurance.
In previous years, all negotiations were held at Ford World
Headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan. However, for 2015, Vice President
Settles has scheduled negotiations in three locations. World
Headquarters, The UAW-Ford National Programs Center in downtown
Detroit, Michigan, and the Ford Technical Training Center in Lincoln
Park, Michigan.
These additional venues align for more strategic meetings for each of
the various subcommittees.
