"We in organized labor are a social movement. 
 We're the only institution that stands up for working men and women."
Stephen Yokich
The Late UAW International President

Welcome to UAW Local 249's website.  Local 249 is located in Pleasant Valley, Missouri.  Our membership totals 3900 employees with approximately 3,000 retirees.   The Kansas City Assembly Plant is the only Ford Motor Company two-system plant in the United States. The Truck System produces the Ford F-150 Super Cab,  F-150 Super Crew Cab, and F-150 King Crew Cab.  The production of the Ford Escape came to a halt in May 2012 and is now being made in Louisville, Kentucky.  Currently the Kansas City Assembly plant is retooling and will begin making the Ford Transit in 2013.  Our membership also includes 30 active employees from the HVC (High Velocity Center) in Shawnee, Kansas and 7 union nurses at our Assembly Plant.
