Nice solidarity, it's comforting that we are a united force. As far as awards go......take em to Walmart, we have ALL won awards, and the been kicked to the side of the road. BTW Ford put the Edge in OAC....if you really believe ANY UNION Rep had a deciding vote in where ANY car goes you need to pop some reality into your drug cocktail. Have a great day,

We (CAW) do not have the right to strike, we can only strike when we actually do not have a contract, while the C'ontract" is in effect we have a "no strike,no lockout" clause in the agreement

:yup: :yup: :yup: We need a pattern of our own.

Which "pattern"?

He was replying to the post quoted in his reply. AND WE DON'T MAKE 75 ANYTHING AN HOUR.

Lets be clear on this, I have no problem with people knowing how much an hour I make, I am also taxed at a 42% tax rate so you figure out how much of that $39 CDN I actually get to spend at places like McDonalds. Autoworkers taxes help pay for everyone in this great country to have access to so called "free" healthcare, everyone that works is entitled to vacation pay, medical insurance, holiday pay., as far as your comment about "half of my Social security tax" I don't know what you are talking about. You want a job like mine than go get one, I did. Or we could all make minimum wage and not pay taxes or buy homes or cars...then every jealous soul out there will be happy and I'll save a ton in taxes. Thanks for your concern about what I'm letting out, it could not be any worse than the biased media is already spreading. I don't need to hide facts, I'm not doing anything illegle

It's a finger in the proverbial dike. We need to open the floodgates/warchest and get our message out there.

He's "getting" fed up"" fuck that, it's past time to """get"" anything except, in their face or unemployed, let's do something that the public can see and understand. Nurses and OPSIEU are making their points thru TV ads every day.......what are we doing? Are we letting the ""A"" in our union become a footnote.... When the Nazis came for the communists, I remained silent; I was not a communist. Then they locked up the social democrats, I remained silent; I was not a social democrat. Then they came for the trade unionists, I did not speak out; I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, I did not speak out; I was not a Jew. When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me. Martin Niemoller was a German pastor and theologian born in Lippstadt, Germany, in 1892 His poem is well-known, frequently quoted, and is a popular model for describing the dangers of political apathy, as it often begins with specific and targeted fear and hatred which soon escalates out of control. "FIGHTING BACK MAKES A DIFFERENCE" Lying on your back means you lost.

I'm going to send it as is,with my blurb tacked on...it's time for ACTION!

Screw him, he has his own agenda....take down the unions when they seem to be vulnerable. Mike Harris hold over.

Well stated, now send the same comment to Lewenza. With your permission I'll cut and paste this entire post and encourage EVERY member to send it to Lewenza. We need to take out full page newspaper ads that clarify our real pay scales and make valid apples to apples comparisons with our Japanese transplants. Ask the question, why is Tony Clement so involved in OUR negotiations, did he interfere with teachers, nurse,steelworkers, bankers or the lumber industry? Why has every other car producing country except Canada and the USA given loans with NO concessions demanded? ATTENTION: K. Lewenza caw@caw.ca

We better start informing/stirring the pot before there is no pot.

That's great, maybe if you don't have to go to work you can get a post count in the 5k range. Some of us choose to pop in here for information, some pop in because they don't have a job or family responsibilities and they like to show the "world" how prolific they can be. Good luck with your endeavours.

You have been a member for 2 months, I appreciate your concern for my opinion about certain members, that does not alter the fact that in my OPINION he is a shit stirring thread hijacking moron. As for the lesson on how the sky appears to be blue, thanks Go back in time and read some of his diatribes.

Please do not quote that moron, put him on block like most of the rational members here have done. Thanks Ps. Saddam was needed to run that hellhole of Iraq and keep the wackos from killing each other and I agree that the focus needs to be on Afghanistan.

What the hell has that got to do with the topic??

If I was 12 ........well that's a few years ago, and if you think anything on the web is really anonymous, you are an idiot.

I'm not naive enough to actually believe that all will be returned to "normal", but it never hurts to ask. ;-)

Look Junior, I'm VERY aware of what MY UNION presents at a rat vote....that does not preclude you from asking all your questions...I've never seen a member who was cut off and not allowed to speak at a ratification vote............even tho some of them should have been LOL It's going to get passed..............if you think Ford is faking this crisis ............then you vote no and call em out. I think we should give what they want right now.......however as SOON as Fords returns to a pre 2002 sales and profit scenario then we get all we gave up back.....no question no negotiations...just put it back where it was, or screw off. As far as being on of those "voices/idiots on the internet....at least I publish my real name and place of work...................how about you???

Give 3-4 thousand and I'll run the doors off them in my 03 Mach 1 or have fun trying :reading: And if I can't beat em ...I'll still look better :-) (theCar)

The union presents the facts and then YOU get to decide if YOU like the deal or not.....don't like it? then vote no and then vote the reps out if you think you are being mis-led. That's assuming you actually make an effort to take care of yourself by going to the ratification vote...or you could just listen to the voices/idiots on the internet. You pick!! Seems fairly simple.

YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST, thanks for being there. Hows the foot?

LMAO, that's gotta be the all time best reason why someone could not stay married......because they were getting screwed too much............

I'll sell you one "gratis" you supply the ammo and I'll supply the video camera. You dumb cunt, it takes about a week to get a license to own a handgun....legally..
