$27-Million UAW-Owned Country Club Includes Golf Course, Condos, Swimming Pools Monday, December 22, 2008 By Matt Cover
(CNSNews.com) – The United Autoworkers Union, which had a total net worth of $1.2 billion in 2007, owns a $27 million resort and conference center that features a $6 million upscale golf course, according to financial statements on file with the U.S. Department of Labor.
The retreat, called the Walter and May Reuther Family Education Center, is located on Black Lake in Onaway, Mich. The union-owned retreat includes the Black Lake Golf Club, valued at $6 million according to the financial statement.
The resort features conference centers, classrooms, resort amenities and the golf club, which is open to union members, retirees and their guests, as well as the public, on a space-available basis.
Accommodations at the resort cost $92 a night for a single room and $106 a night for a double. Full-service condos are available costing $180 for a two-bedroom and $275 for a three-bedroom unit.
UAW members receive a slight discount on accommodations, paying $74 a night for a single, $87 a night for a double. Members can rent a two-bedroom condo for $150/night and a three-bedroom condo for $225/night.
The Education Center includes lakeside rooms, hotel-style rooms, as well as a fully-equipped campground, boat ramp and dock. It also has an Olympic-sized swimming pool, two full-length basketball courts, and a sauna.
The 1,000 acre golf club is a first-class, 1,000 acre, environmentally conscious course designed by Rees Jones, son of famed golf course designer Robert Trent Jones, the same designer behind PGA-level courses Pinehurst, Torrey Pines, and LPGA International.

Union dues at work.
(Are unions registered as “Not for Profits” in the US?)
Onaway Michigan is not on-the-way to anywhere. It is about an hour off the road that leads up to Mackinac and three hours away from the nearest UAW plant in Saginaw.
It is around the first knuckle of the index finger of the mitten, in the middle of nowhere. Somebody made a pretty penny on this real estate. I wonder who?
“UAW members receive a slight discount on accommodations...”
Guess who doesn’t pay...ever?
huh?????????
NO BAIL OUT $$$$$$$$$ until it is SOLD!
To understand the UAW hey need o know who founded it, and why they still celebrate him. I noticed in the article that the Walter and Mary Reuther Family education center is the name of their retreat. To understand what that education is about, check out who Walter Reuther was. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Reuther
are all the people that work there UNION MEMBERS???
unions should be destroyed using the RICO ACT... They are nothing but Capone II!
LLS
Gee, no kidding; who'd have thunk.....a thousand-acre golf course that's......well......a thousand acres.
"Department of Redundancy Department.....how may I help assist you today?"
“are all the people that work there UNION MEMBERS???”
Yes.
Those Union members that don’t Golf or don’t vote DEM get screwed.
Not only is it 1,000 acres... it’s conscious!
A Super Duper Socialist of course. This smacks of the old Soviet Union, where the well-heeled had their own dachas on the lake.
They make me sick. Welcome to the Hussein era.
Would be interesting to find out who and what and when. Any FReepers in that area who can find this out?
Somebody shrewd enough to name it "The Walter and May Reuther Family Education Center". Makes it sound like a south Chicago store-front community center.
