  1. If 10,000 have yet to have the chance to vote we've had a turn out of roughly 77% up to this point.
  2. In 2008 and 2009 the US Congress, both House and Senate, had hearings about nationalizing the 401k system. Trillions of dollars are in that system. Granted nothing has become of that so far, but the cat is out of the bag as far as I'm concerned. I'm trying to balance my 401k with a brokerage account for retirement. I understands the pros and cons to both. If the 401k system is nationalized at some point in the future I would still have my brokerage account to draw from. Just another way I'm balancing the eggs between my baskets. As far as the vote count goes does anyone have the totals at this point? I'm not a Facebook user so I don't have access to the UAW page.
  3. Bob King and company could step in and do the bargaining with Faurecia in place of the local representation to fast track the sale. From what I understand Bob King wants the sale completed sooner rather than later. In regards to the initial question, the most truthful answer I can give you is TOO SOON.
  4. Just make sure you show up for picket duty. The UAW isn't going to pay people to sit at home.
  5. This could be sexual in nature. Some people are into that kind of thing.
  6. That's bullshit. The square dance isn't going to be in the pole barn.
  7. Maybe they should focus on halting their annual payraises and bonuses while telling the rest of us that we need to give back more to the company.
  8. If during the last vote you had to vote with production it would make sence that you would vote with production on all other matters until you rejoin the trades.
  9. No. Verberg took it with him when he left.
  10. It is not a custom for an American President to bow to a foreign potentate. He didn't bow before Queen Elizabeth did he? We are a sovereign nation. We fly our flag no higher or lower than the flag of any other nation. The United States was founded upon the principle of a government of the people and by the people. We DO NOT bow to monarchs. IMHO.
  11. Bush may be friends with the Saudi Royal family, but, he never bowed to a foriegn king. President Obama Bows to Saudi King
  12. Your plant chairman is on call 24 hours a day 7 days a week that is why he is payed 12/7. I'm not trying to defend the guy, I'm just stating a fact. It works this way at other plants too.
  13. I thought the media was supposed to be neutral. :shades:
  14. If I read it correctly the title says "GM" not "UAW" or "CAW". And in the quote it is mentioned that what happened was in Canada. I don't see what is misleading or unfair about the post.
  15. My neighbor's cousin's sister-in-law's boyfriend's garbageman's pharmacist's accountant told him the samething.
  16. No shit. By the way, can you spell 'the'?
  17. 1) I'm not the one who misspelled 'strategy'. 2) You still haven't answered the question-How are the 5 remaining plants going to run out of parts if they are shutdown?
  18. They already are on strike. They went on strike at 11am.
  19. How are the 5 remaining plants going to run out of parts if they are shutdown due to over inventory?
  20. 3K isn't much. In fact it is very little.
  21. Please keep your hands and feet inside your stall at all times
  22. Are they at least going to give us a reach-around? The highlights are as much about what they don't say as what they do.
  23. How many batteries does it take to shock a wolverine? One AA.
