Ed Hay and Chris Kimmons will stay as long as they can spend Local 919 union dues and collect a pay check from Ford. They are not doing anyone any favors just putting there hands in the union cookie jar. Why wouldn't they stay on the payroll to steal supplies, equipment and computers from the union hall and plant. Kimmons and Hay organized the workers at TDS/US and Johnson Controls pay union dues to Local 919 and we all see how the union made there jobs secure. "At its peak, he said, it had 2,900 members. That's down to about 1,400, who work at Ford or suppliers such as TDS/US and Johnson Controls Inc.. All will close by summer's end."

Newspaper Quote: Sawyer, 46, said, "and this place here doesn't have pride. I want to go in every day, like I did in Norfolk, and have a great day." Ford will do pay whatever it takes to get rid of the Norfolk UAW workers. Instead of being grateful for a job they just cry. No matter what anyone says Norfolk is shutting down because of the lousy workers and the lousy union.

TPTs and 89 day workers pay union dues so they have a right to vote. The union officials will lie to all workers to get votes to go the UAW way.

Norfolk Ford Worker struggles with change 700 miles from his family, one Ford worker struggles with change The Virginian-Pilot © April 8, 2007 DEARBORN, Mich. - He spread an ample supply of spinach leaves on his plate, chopped a chicken breast into strips, sauteed them in his grandmother's cast-iron skillet, and added a few mushrooms and onion slivers.

I think he is in Vegas or Florida with Norfolk Local 919 President Kris Kimmons and chairman ed Hay negotiating for the workers. This is where Ford should cut there losses.

Information from "Linda" is as reliable as information from the union hall.

Hope you are talking about Norfolk.

Are the district reps actuallysuppose to do anything?

Union dues were deducted from the last 2 sub checks.

If you got the plant managers letter in august this letter said the same thing.

Has there been any updates on NAP?

I agree. It is a new day and the UAW will get a percentage of all future buyouts.

The information will not be good for union members. The union wants the information released through the media while workers are laid off because the fear the workers will walk off the line and storm the union halls. The workers at plants that are scheduled to close are going to be deeply disappointed with the UAW.

The UAW will never stop being a corrupt organization? Why bother, quit the UAW. It is no wonder the UAW cannot organize at Toyota.

The UAW leaders would be gloating if it was good news. The members better be prepared for bad news and the UAW is scare to tell you.

Isn't this what the plant manager said all along?

POLSKA, You better watch your blood pressure and go to anger management. You brought up judgement day, well on judgment day we all will be judged not just those people you disagree with, you, I and everyone else. I feel very sorry for you if you do not repent from attacking other peoples choices. Pay your dues and support the union if you want. It is a personal choice but why get so angry about it?

Thankfully Virginia is a right to work state and the workers are fed up with the UAW liars. We are losing our jobs anyway may as well get rid of the useless UAW as soon as possible.

No surprise, Ed Hay refuses to put his signature on a guarantee in writing to the Local 919 union members that the UAW will not take a percentage of each union members buyout.

Chris Kimmons on a bus you must be kidding. Chris Kimmons is too high class for that, you may be on a bus but Kimmons will be flying first class at the expense of union dues.

This is not a day to celebrate. Your humor is questionable.

You are pathetic! Where is the UAW job security for Atlanta and Norfolk workers. The UAW want the members mind there own business and shut up.

The governor of Virginia went to Detroit as a publicity stunt. The UAW gives millions of dollars to the Democratic party and the governor has to pertend he cares, that's politics. Ford executives should not give false hope to the NAP employees like the local union did.

The UAW has to support the Democrats because they pass laws that keep the UAW officials out of jail.
