Future Planning Program

Is there life after work?

You bet there is. With some careful planning, you can look forward to a worry-free, well-deserved and rewarding retirement. And the UAW-DaimlerChrysler Future Planning Program is there to help.

Workers and their spouses consider various aspects of their retirement years in this 10-session program held at Local Union halls. Each session is devoted to a different topic with experts providing information and guidance on the issues listed below.

The Future Planning Program Participant's Manual is now online.

The manual includes the classroom materials you'll be using in the sessions at your Local Union hall. To view them, click here or click the photo of the manual.

You will be able to download the manual as a series of printable files.

You don't have to wait until you're nearing retirement to benefit from this program. In fact, the sooner you start to plan for your life of leisure, the easier the transition will be.

How do I sign up?
There's a UAW and a DaimlerChrysler Future Planning Facilitator at your location. Let one of them know you're interested in participating. (If you don't know who that person is, talk to your Benefits Representative or Personnel Manager.) You can also contact Darrell Motley or Jesse Phillips at the NTC for more information.

Post Retirement Planning
Already retired, but want to stay on top of issues that affect you as a senior? We also offer a Retired Workers Program for UAW-DaimlerChrysler retirees and their spouses.
