The Revived (partially) UAW Legal Services Benefit to Resume in January 2017

The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the much-delayed revival of the UAW Legal Services benefit will resume in January 2017.  I spent over 16 years with UAW Legal Services Plans, and I am glad the members will be getting back some legal services benefits.  The new benefit will be scaled back, only including the office work benefit and no litigation or court appearances.

According to this article, total annual funding for the plan will be about $12 million. That is somewhat higher than I initially was told, and that’s a good thing.
