UAW-FCA-Ford-General Motors Legal Services Plan

The UAW-FCA-Ford-General Motors Legal Services Plan (the Plan) stands as a testament to the commitment of the United Auto Workers Union to ensuring its members have access to comprehensive legal support. Established and operated solely for the purpose of providing legal services to eligible participants, the Plan strives to empower individuals and families by addressing a wide range of legal concerns.

The Plan's services are specifically tailored to meet the needs of union members facing legal challenges related to US or Canadian laws. Recognizing that legal issues can arise unexpectedly, we strive to make navigating the legal system as straightforward and approachable as possible.

Providing Dedicated Legal Assistance

The Plan is a Taft-Hartley Plan, designed to offer "office legal work, " which encompasses advice, document preparation, and guided assistance. This approach allows our team of experienced staff attorneys and support staff to provide focused and effective legal counsel, ensuring members receive the guidance they need to make informed decisions. While litigation services are not part of our core offerings, the Plan prioritizes comprehensive support by providing referring individuals to a wide network of qualified private attorneys at reduced rates.

Areas of Legal Support

The Plan recognizes that the legal needs of our members are diverse. As such, we offer a wide range of legal services encompassing some of life's most important events and challenges. These services include:
