UAW Region 9A Ed Fund

Union representation in the tristate area has a quiet anchor on West 25th Street. UAW Region 9A Ed Fund operates from a mid-block office that blends into the weekday rhythm of Chelsea; its presence is felt more in the contracts it negotiates than in any storefront fanfare. The fund handles education benefits, legal referrals, and member training—services that keep local autoworkers informed and prepared.

You’ll find them at 500 West 25th Street, between Tenth and Eleventh Avenues. The building itself is unassuming, a typical Manhattan loft conversion that houses a mix of nonprofits and small unions. While the fund doesn’t maintain a public lobby, its work supports thousands of active and retired members across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Their focus remains on practical support—tuition assistance, apprenticeship coordination, and workplace safety briefings—rather than public visibility.

Questions about eligibility or upcoming workshops can be directed to (917) 612-9132. For exact directions, the map pinpoints their entrance: here. No appointment is needed for basic inquiries, though most members connect through their local chapters first.
