Daniel Vicente for Region 9 Director

Daniel Vicente is currently the Recording Secretary of UAW Local 644 in Pottstown, PA, where he works as a machine operator at Dometic, a marine manufacturer. He also serves as the Vice Chair of the Bargaining Committee (Dometic Unit), Education Chair, and Delegate to the 2022 Constitutional Convention. Last but not least, he’s a father of four, husband to his amazing wife Eman, and a Marine Corps Veteran (2008-2012).

Dan is running because he believes we need to put power back into the hands of rank-and-file workers, whether we're in the Big Three, independent parts, gaming, or higher education. For too long, Region 9 leadership has taken a top-down mentality. If elected, he will open up lines of communication using 21st century tools, and begin an education campaign for our membership.

As Regional Director, he will prioritize fighting for higher wages and COLA reinstatement and increases. He’s proud of the contract he negotiated for Dometic, which includes NO TIERS and a 45-day progression for temps. As a delegate, he voted against IEB pay raises, and as Regional Director pledges to donate 34% of his wages back to the union. He will also support forensic audits of Region 9 and will work with the UAW Monitor to expose corruption.
