                      KILDEE HONORS STAN MARSHALL

                                 ______


                          HON. DALE E. KILDEE

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, March 29, 1995
  Mr. KILDEE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today before my colleagues in the 
U.S. House of Representatives to pay tribute to an outstanding labor 
leader in my hometown of Flint, MI, Mr. Stan Marshall, who is retiring 
as vice president of the United Automobile Workers International Union. 
To recognize his outstanding years of service to the UAW and to his 
community, Stan will be honored at a tribute on March 30, 1995.
  Stan Marshall began his career in the UAW when he started working at 
the Buick plant in Flint in 1950. While at Buick he served as an 
alternate committeeman, committeeman, shop committeeman, and chairman 
of the shop committee.
  He was appointed to the international staff of UAW Region 1-C in 
1977. In 1983 he was elected to the UAW international executive board 
as regional director, UAW Region 1-C. As regional director he served 
over 100,000 UAW members at General Motors plants and IPS plants in 
Flint, Adrian, Battle Creek, Jackson and Lansing, MI.
  Following two terms as regional director, Stan was elected as a UAW 
vice president at its 29th Constitutional Convention in June, 1989 at 
Anaheim, CA. As vice president, Stan is director of the Chrysler 
department, the national organizing and technical office and 
professional [TOP] department, the General Dynamics department, and the 
foundry department.
  While playing an important role in the UAW, Stan Marshall is no less 
committed to his community. He has served on various organizations 
within the State of Michigan such as, the Economic Alliance of 
Michigan, the Governor's Task Force on Higher Education, the Governor's 
Commission on Labor-Management Relations, and the Michigan State 
Athletic Board.
  Mr. Speaker, it is indeed an honor and a pleasure for me to rise 
today to urge my colleagues in joining me to recognize Stan Marshall 
for his vital contributions to the dynamic leadership of the UAW. As a 
tireless advocate of working men and women for over 40 years, he has 
been a major force behind improving the working conditions and wages 
for UAW members.
  Stan Marshall is a highly esteemed friend and I have often sought 
counsel from him as I considered important issues relating to working 
men and women. As he moves into retirement, I know that he will pursue 
his interests with the same zeal as he did representing the workers of 
the UAW. I wish him well in all his future endeavors.
