i have to thank the international for the scare tactics they used ,and for holding a press conference saying the membership is ignorant.
now we need a direct vote on international reps to let them know they are the ones who are out of touch.
dues will not go down only up the international needs salary increase to match ford.
mark my words they will vote themselves a increase again for this job well done .
and there are a lot of lawsuits over this.
also over not paying overtime,part time workers doing full time work and more ,in these non-union work places.
I would like a direct vote on my international reps,that would help.

,but those that do really do.

the union boys keeping their 8hr 5 days a week is a whole different topic.
when they do this it will be your skilled trade date of entry into your current trade,then that will carryover to the new mechicinal trade it is how they do all consolidation of crafts.
no breaks or no lunch should mean none defined.
