Eligible employees will see the wage rate change in their pay check dated November 11, 2011.

!! ATTENTION ALL UAW 5960 TIER II MEMBERS !!

Please be advised the Benefits Office has a resolution for the Tier II members who have had their PSP accounts cashed out.  Information that was forward to us from Tier II member, Ben Milligan was used to present this problem to the UAW International. The end result is that every Tier II member who returned to work within 5 years of separation will have their PSP account restored. We also found out that this is Corporate wide and not an only an Orion issue. Members are asked to be patient while a system is set up to acknowledge all who have been affected. Thanks to Ben Milligan for his efforts in helping us solve this issue.
