i'll have this to say....it dont matter people if ford wants to do it, they will....regardless of how we vote first page of the contract book says it all.................

if i wasnt laid off i may do that,lol

i know this is going off topic, but......yes, the $$ those workers earn they spend in thier communities but bottom line its still a foreign company and regardless where the fusion and edge are built, ford is as american as apple pie

i hate a fucking rice rocket. they sound like a sick weed eater but i have to say....they are fast. been beat a few times in my 06 gt with mods but id still rather keep my v-8 sound and horses

i will vote no as well, but we are wasting our time cuz whatever ford wants they are gonna get regardless what we "vote" for or against

im just using that as an example.....you tell me, if ford said to the union....we are gonna have to cut everyones pay by $10 an hour....what would happen? we would be working for $18....thats what would happen

what good does it do to bail out auto companies? if people dont have a job, they arent buying new cars anyways how about giving each tax paying, working american $35,000....now that will get the economy moving again

the UAW is just like ford....they do what they want, when they want and no one can do shit about it

you must be off your rocker. the IUAW can "demand" all they want, but if it comes to it ford WILL do what they want, WHEN they want, and NO ONE can do a fucking thing about it. whats gonna happen when ford says they are gonna cut pay by $10 an hour? we will be working for $18 an hour or we will go find another job....thats what will happen....

AMEN BROTHER! :happy feet:

it doesnt matter what we vote.....the UAW will pass it anyways. we could vote on cutting our pay to $10 an hour and it would pass 51%-49%.............................................crooked bastards. they are a big part of the automakers woes

i have an 06 mustang gt that will get 60 mpg.............................................at 20 mph and driving the way they did

sounds like a real dumbass to me...........he will think ford works for him when he has no job

then you must be in the "good ol' boys click" cuz we cant get a fucking committeman 9 out of 10 times, much less a big shot in the uaw

LMAO....seeing them in person? you have a better chance of sucking your own dick

ok brother.....i am not refusing to acknowledge any of it. i know the history of the uaw, i know what they went thru to get us the things we have now. the uaw was a great thing in the day, but the days of a great union are long gone. and...no, you dont have to explain the process to me

first off pal....the UAW dont offer me shit. do you honestly think that all the profit sharing, benefits, xmas bonuses and everything come from the UAW?.....NOT! there are salary workers that recieve bonuses, benefits, ect. and they arent being robbed of $60 a month. yes....i did enjoy my 120 hrs of vacation. i spent some of it playing golf with a family member that is salary and he was on "his" vacation time too. the UAW didnt give him his vacation time did they? who decides wether a grievance has merit? a committeman? its more like, if they feel like writing one. besides, who gets the grievance....the company, the people that supposedly did you wrong in the first place. do you really think the company just fucks people then makes it right? NOPE i dont wanna step up to the plate and run for comedian. i want NOTHING to do with this fucking scandal of a business. by the way....i do represent myself and HAVE gotten more things taken care of without these scumbags..........if that makes me a hypocrite....SO BE IT, so fuck you and the Useless And Worthless

that "vegas is union" excuse is bullshit. just how much do you think it costs to get all these ass clowns to vegas? what is it they do in vegas that they cant do in indy or detroit? prostitution maybe? why do they ALL need to stay in hotels? whats wrong with holding these conventions in the mid-west where the majority of people can go home every night? the blue collar worker has given and given, the company has even given as well....its about time that this fucking UAW start giving too.

well, ive been a UAW member for 16 years and i can truthfully say that the UAW is worthless. i think they mean good, but they cant do good. we work for ford motor company....bottom line. they are gonna do what they want, when they want and no one can do a fucking thing about it. i have NEVER been paid a grievance in 16 years of service. committemen are glorified secretaries, nothing more, but much less.

since when you think the UAW gives a fuck about thier people? had a friend that was going thru some crazy shit about cutting a job out and getting put on medical, unicare denied him, workers comp gave some bullshit excuse and he went for 14 weeks without pay....drained ALL his savings, is a single parent and was about to have his car repo'd and his electric cut off. ford kept telling him that someone was supposed to pay him but they didnt kno who. do you think the UAW offered the person a little money to hold him over......NOPE. so, his power got cut off, and he got behind on his house payment....ford or unicare still owes about 6 grand to be even

i feel ya on the babysitting, but why 9 months a year?.....and im pretty sure ford dont give a fuck about how long it takes us to get home. i go from indiana to KTP at 5pm and its a mess

i see your low seniority but cmon dude. have you ever had a xmas break that you didnt get paid for every day that you are off work. the only difference this year is you were off work b4 the actual "holiday break" started. ps. yes....you will be paid holiday pay starting dec.24th thru jan. 2nd

they should ALL be on 4 10's and shut all the lights and fans off thursday at EOS and leave them on till 30 minutes before shift monday morning. think how much money that would save them......

i got one for ya.....seen a brand new KIA with temporary tags and an old man driving it with a bumper sticker that said "proud korean war veteran" .....i proceeded to follow the man for 25 minutes until he parked and got out, at which point i asked him how he could go fight these koreans and now hes buying cars that thier kids make......needless to say, he was stumped and said he hadnt really thought about it like that. well..........HERES YOUR SIGN
