you are right lampshade! he will be in romeo this morning. Last name Stewart. nickname ( STEWIE ) just like in Family Guy.

sheetmetalJoe, tell us about Livonia. Flooded with contractors? Dictators and prison camps? How about trades from other plants? They say that we dont want outside trades cause they want us to get used to working in groups where everyone does everyone's work. Are you guys gonna be able to settle on a local contract? Everyone here says hell no!!

whether you are layed off or getting ready to be, you are better off not going to Lima, its embarassing to work here. The tearout is being ran by a complete moron, the people working over there call it a prison camp. He doesn't care what gets done he just wants to be a dictator. The manager wants it to be that way and says that the foreman is just holding his people accountable. He writes people up for the dumbest things and docks people for going to the restroom and wont give them an extra 5 min. to clean up before lunch. You have to put your tools away on your own time and stay on the job at the end day until quiting time. They add more contractors daily! The union says that there is nothing that they can do so get used to it and go by the rules! The contractors are telling the tearout crew that they put bids in to install new machinery and that the company told them that our trades will be running the machining areas and maintaining them. Is Lima getting new work? You Betcha!!

I'll bet it will be shauna! Bless her heart

did you get my pm?

HEY FIRED do you remember a foreman with the nickname of creepsack?

Hey 88, doesn't sound to me like they took any production people and appointed them trades jobs! Looks to me like they left us out again. Just like the new safety man, what that all about? Will the production people that are on a list to become apprentices, ever get a chance or will they just keep moving tradesmen around until nobody knows what trade they really are? Hey thats it! Thats the plan! " If we shuffle them around enough they will all be one big happy maintenance work group! and they will forget what trade they are" But, still, what about production people? Did everyone get to interview for the safety job that put their name in the hat some time ago?

Like I said, who gives a shit! Let's see who suffers the most from all this. I don't think it will be the hourly this time.

I don't think that anyone even gives a shit anymore! You should ask the upper management leaders this question, they have all the answers. Right Nick?

Justice will be served soon! Santa Clause is coming to town and he is pissed. I'll bet its over by Christmas.

The management team of drunks were at the local watering hole down the street saying the same thing a few nights ago. I'll bet it's true!

Overheard a conversation Monday morning that LEP Chairman will be working up north by summer shutdown. I presume this will be for the international. Anyone know whose job he will be doing?,or is this just another rumor?

Hey dedot how's it going? No, we didn't get shut down! The day that the union discourages me to stop posting is the day that I tell them to stop reading them! We'll be ok, at least we have a contract now! We will make the best of it like we always do. They can only dictate what we let them, You know that. Speaking of dictating, how are you getting along with Allen and Spallinger? You didn't think that I knew who you were did you? Word travels fast. Sounds like you are getting some more help comming your way. The good old days are gone and we have to make the best of it! Good hearing from you!

know what? lep! you are not that good of an electrician, you dont have any seniority to speak of, why don't you hush up and hope that this passes so that you have a job when its over? You make 32.50 an hour! do you have another job lined up closer to home in let's say Celina making that kind of money? I wish that we could be like your ex-wife and just cash your ass in when we get tired of your shit! SHUT THE FUCK UP DILDO!!!!!

Doesn't sound like you are too much truth at Lima! 1st of all 2 of the vistors were salary and they weren't asking questions like that up and down the line. They were there to observe the crankline because it is identical to theirs. The team leaders are the ones who started asking them questions and got them fired up. And besides, we hear that chief Farley took you into his office to talk to you about this posting and you told him it wasn't you! Is that being truthful? Boy are you a peach!

By looking at the time you post your comments, you spend alot of time at work playing on Blue Oval News. I know it takes you longer than 5 minutes to type 60 words, I've watched you! Just kidding bud!!! Now you know who I am--BUD!!!

Hey I've got it! If you can't whip any of the comiteeman, then whip ole 2-dogs ass! He looks like a big pussy to me! I know he's out of shape, look at that belly!

when was the last time you took your commiteeman outside and whipped their ass? You sure talk alot and bitch alot. Is there a commiteeman at lep that you could whip? Did you get forced into the imt program? If so, you must not have much seniority. Do you want laid off and tranferred? or are you just miserable period? Take the buyout if you don't like what's going on. You are the one who needs a fucking ass whipping!

You guys were really riding high there for awhile weren't you? Didn't need us did you? Well you kind of needed us to get your wages up there didn't you? But really didn't want to pay union dues did you? We tried to tell you how they would treat you didn't we, but you wouldn't listen would you? If i was in charge of the UAW, I would make you people pay retroactive union dues from the first time that we tried to organize you! Now if we organize you, our friends and neihbors will say,"it's UAW made right here in the states". This is no bargain for us! But this is par for the course! They used you up and now they are throwing you away-----Same people that brought you pearl harbor, remember? You people are life members of the DUMBFUCKERS CLUB!!!!!!!!

you are exactly right, I truly apologise. I got a little carried away there! This is what this company wants,everyone fighting for work, whipsawing, and arguing amongst ourselves. I got a little defensive when the comment was made that they would transfer to Lima and take my seniority from me, sorry, Ill try to do better.

You lazy fucks couldnt make it in Lima! Thats why you are losing your work to us, we will have it all before long, they just dont have the balls to tell you yet. Watch and see! But you are still welcome to come, but it wont a picnic, these people are are hungry and they are the real deal.

Not to bust your bubble, but you talk like Ford cant wait to give you something! 4.4, the 6.7, and small parts. You'll be lucky to survive, just like the rest of us! I hope your right but to me it sounds like the union is blowing alot of smoke just to keep everyone pacified!

I personally dont have any sympathy for them. They are the ones that have been choosing to vote no for union representation. If i were Gettlefinger i would say that we will try to organize Toyota again in 5 more years. Then lets see how the slant eyed bastards treat their employees the next 5 years! These people have been playing both sides against the middle for years. I say fuckem, let em suffer for awhile! The uaw has spent too much of my union dues trying to organize these clowns already. They use us to get better benefits and dont have to pay union dues.

We are hearing that there will be big shots from both the company and the international Thursday of this week for some kind of anouncement. Anyone hearing this? Or just a rumer?
