Since the announcement of the UAW-Ford Model E Program (formerly, Ford Employee Connectivity Program, F.E.C.P.) in February of this year, ongoing development of the Model E portal has brought about a significant opportunity for us as a union to dramatically improve our ability to communicate with our membership. By the end of January 2001, all UAW-Ford, Visteon and ZF employees who have opted to participate will have their home computers. Several web pages have been developed that provide important and timely information for our members. These sites reside on the worldwide web or can be accessed from a link on the Model E web page.
