UAW donates $500,000 to help earthquake victims in Haiti

The UAW has donated $500,000 to the William J. Clinton Foundation to help victims of the devastating earthquake that struck Haiti on Jan. 12.

"The people of Haiti desperately need food, water, medical care and hope," UAW President Ron Gettelfinger said. "The women and men of the UAW stand with thousands of other organizations and ordinary citizens in their desire to help the Haitian people meet their basic human needs."

Former President Clinton, the U.N.'s special envoy to Haiti, said Haiti needs our short-term and long-term support.

"I still believe that Haiti can move beyond its troubled history and this lethal earthquake to emerge a stronger, more secure nation," Clinton said last week. "But we can't do it with government support alone: Ordinary citizens must fill in the gaps. Little donations make a big difference, and there are a number of organizations that will move the money to where it's needed most."

There are many ways for people to easily donate to help Haiti, including by texting "HAITI" to "20222" to the Clinton Foundation's Haiti Relief Fund. A $10 donation will be charged to your cell phone bill. One hundred percent of the donations will be used to help Haiti. Other reputable charitable organizations include:

Oxfam America

Doctors Without Borders

Grassroots International

American Red Cross

When will W2s be mailed? If I don't get mine, what do I do?

Mailing of the W2 forms will be completed by January 29, 2010

.   Please note -- they are mailed in groups so it is possible your co-workers could have theirs before or after you.

 

You will receive two W2s this year due to GM's emergency from bankruptcy.   One will reflect earnings through 7/15/09 as the old company; the second will have the balance of the year's earnings as the new company.  Both W2 forms will be in the same envelope.
