Retired Workers Program


Retiree Advisory Committee members Walt Hempel (left) of DaimlerChrysler and Oscar Paskal of the UAW pore over materials used in the Retired Workers Program.

Retired workers and their spouses learn about issues that are of particular importance to them as seniors in the Retired Workers Program. Through NTC-sponsored conferences, seminars and the New Horizons newsletter, the program addresses topics such as:

  • The Aging Process
  • Changing Financial Needs
  • Leisure Time Activities
  • Health and Fitness
  • Coping with Boredom, Loneliness,
    Depression and Grief
  • Volunteering
  • UAW Retiree Chapters
  • Political and Union Activism

For more information about conferences, talk to your UAW Retiree Chapter Chairperson or contact Darrell Motley, UAW, or Dorothy Jett-Carter, DaimlerChrysler, at the NTC.


For more information specifically designed for both UAW and non-union retirees, visit the Chrysler Group Retirees Homepage.

There, retirees or the spouses or surviving spouses of a retiree, can:

  • Read the DaimlerChrysler Times.
  • Get a deal on a new vehicle through DaimlerChrysler Employee Advantage.
  • Visit the Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge brand sites.
  • Sign up for your benefits.
  • Get answers to your benefit questions with easy-to-find phone numbers, Web sites, claims instructions, etc.
  • Manage your 401(k).
  • Sign up to have your prescription drugs delivered to your home.

The Future Planning Program, designed primarily for active workers, can also be an important tool for retirees.

The 10-session program, held at UAW Local halls, includes guest speakers who are specialists in areas from health and relationships to finance and retirement benefits. Retired workers from the local are also able to attend these sessions if there is room for more than the active workers enrolled.

For those retirees who can't attend such sessions, the NTC has put Future Planning Program Participant's Manual online. The manual includes the classroom materials used in the Future Planning Program sessions. To view them, click here or click on the photo of the manual. The files can be read online or printed out.

For more information on this program, contact Darrell Motley, UAW, or Dorothy Jett-Carter, DaimlerChrysler, at the NTC.
