It seems to me that the IUAW is VERY VERY desperate for this to pass?? One must ask oneself why ? Is it because there is something in it for them? Is it because they promised the Company that they could hoodwink us again ? Is it because they think we are foolish enough to give up our last little bit of rights? Something smells fishy when the IUAW spams phones to sell a POS like this !!!! Have the courage and fortitude to do what you KNOW is right, and that is VOTE NO !!! We have to make a stand , or the Company wins the whole ballgame with this vote..

Ross Perot said those words in 1992 while debating for the Presidential Elections. I said it then, and I will say it again, we need someone like Perot in the WH to look out for all Americans, not just big business. I know WE work for big business. But when the government only cares about big business' , the whole nation suffers, as we are seeing now.

While I agree with some of your post. I have to strongly disagree with a portion thereof.. "PS..I was at the con con where the mic was shut off...he talked for 2 minutes and his time was up to speak...." We both know that was NOT why he was shut down...and another gentleman said he would give him his 2 minutes also. Really wanna air dirty laundry here? While I agree that the IUAW does what it THINKS is best for us the membership, I also cannot blindly follow them when I think something is wrong. The way that the upper leadership decides the next President is wrong....IMO. The members SHOULD have more say in who they want as the next President..the problem with that though, is that only a very small percentage of us even pay attention to 1/10th of what is going on. Can we agree on that much ?

What in the wide , wide world of sports are you talking about?

Tell me when he is coming ...I will pick a good job out for him, somewhere in chassis in a pit. He can think about all the kick ass things he can do while laying out on the beach...while throwing drive shafts. :happy feet:

My solid inside sources at IUAW told me personally today, well actually my ex sister in laws best friends second cousin, heard from the guy at the barber shop, that there will definately be another buyout..possibly ! She/he/they said it would probably be around $500 to $200000 and could include an Easy Bake Oven and maybe a Barbie Playhouse..limited supplies act fast. No refunds or exchanges after 10 days , some restrictions apply. Barbie Playhouse may be changed to a My Little Pony, if you already own your own home..

I wouldn't count on "the big O" to much. He is hand picked by Kissinger and the rest of the big bankers/powermen. He is supposed to be the "new face of the New World Order" and you can bet your bottom dollar that Labor is at the bottom of that "order". We don't have enough members and/or $$$$'s to make them give one about us.

I agree alot of people voted no, as did I. There were just enough yes votes to make it questionable this last time.(personally I cant find 20 people that say they voted yes, but people lie too) If they were to open the contract again, I will guarentee you there will not be enough yes votes to even make it possible to fake a passing vote. No way at all. I am in no way saying that the IUAW/Locals do it, just saying that there is no way this gets opened again , and passes before 2011. IMO.

Valume ?? I will take 3 please......hahaha had to do it lquid sorry.

I believe AIG has some connection to the Government Pension Plan.....may be why they keep getting whatever they ask for without a ??? being asked. I also noticed that the show that Obama was on with Leno....you know the one that was TAPED a while back...had Obama being 'outraged" at the AIG bonuses being payed... How did he know that they were getting bonuses BEFORE they got them ????????? And he was outraged.. yeah OK.

You think THE COMPANY MADE SURE THAT WE AREN"T AT MINIMUM WAGE?????? The Company doesn't EVER give us a THING. The Union has had to fight for it, period ! I will give you that the Union has not been as aggressive in fighting when we had the chances (10 years or so ago) , but the Company would rather all of us woirk for $7.00/hr with no safety or health regulations or benefits whatsoever.....and if you think I am wrong on that, I want some of whatever you are taking. And as far as the over 30 brothers and sisters, they do not sign the payroll, but they damn sure fought to get it ....Thanks for that bros/sis'.

What he really meant to say was...thank you for your service and your sacrifices, and help guide us through these tough times. Without you we would all be making minimum wage at some dump, where they could fire you for any reason at all. I read that between the lines. BTW I agree with lquidspine and el norte !

You walk his drunken ass off the floor, before he does kill someone. He then only gets 3 days for "Out of assigned work area", instead of a week for being drunk. You then give him a choice to go to ESSP and get help. You tell him that was his one free pass. You have protected and defended everyone involved, the only one that loses anything is the person who was at fault. Next?

And what the hell is wrong with MY dancing ???????? :happy feet:

That's the best solution yet....and the idiot would probably believe it too. " I went in for a transfusion , and they replaced all my blood. I am Hep C free now." :happy feet: :happy feet:
