United Auto Workers (UAW), Ford Motor Company (Ford), General Motors (GM), and DaimlerChrysler Corporation (Chrysler) have launched a national initiative to improve health care systems in communities where auto employees live and work and have incorporated this approach into their collective bargaining agreement.
Ford, GM, Chrysler, and the UAW recognize that the realization of this vision is dependent upon the “Community Initiative” model being adopted and embraced by local communities across the country. Therefore, the auto industry has selected a handful of communities upon which to focus early efforts.
