You got me wrong brother. Maybe I didnt type it right! I'm very thankful for my job! I'm just saying, that this union does not inform the membership of whats going on! Its going to be "shit house politics" with nobody knowing nothing, but everybody has a answer! What I was saying was I dont miss the "GRIND" ! I wish you well and good fortune!

I thought sundays were voluntary? From what I was told by the dealership is demand for the 09 is low. But who knows? Maybe we can overload the dealer lots again and have next summer off too! Not looking forward to monday! There is going to be so many pissed off people who came from C-crew to B-Crew who dont want to be on that shift! I wonder how many times I will here when the next bump will be. Or that the union is not answering the phone. Or how many down weeks were getting! I can honestly say I havent missed DTP at all!

Shit rolls down hill buddy! Guess were we are standing? Were do you think Ford got the loans when they "Hauked" The Blue Oval for thier Way Foward version 3.0!

Chrysler and GM are the competition too! And Toyota is building factories in the U.S.! Unlike Ford who is sending everything to Mexico! We just need to get into these plants and get them to become union shops!

Toyota says it will build Prius hybrid at new U.S. plant, cuts truck production by Christine Tierney / The Detroit News Responding to dramatic shifts in the U.S. auto market, Toyota Motor Corp. has revised its production plans and will now build its Prius hybrid car at a new plant in Mississippi that was originally slated to produce SUVs. Toyota also will concentrate production of its large pickups, now assembled at two U.S. plants in Texas and Indiana, at its factory in San Antonio, the Japanese automaker said Thursday. The Princeton, Ind., plant will build the Highlander SUV that had been slated for the Mississippi factory now under construction. Beginning on Aug. 8, Toyota will halt production of Tundra full-size pickups and Sequoia large SUVs for close to three months. Advertisement "The truck market continues to worsen, so unfortunately we must temporarily suspend production," Jim Wiseman, a spokesman for Toyota's North American manufacturing operations, said in a statement. Toyota's moves reflect dramatic shifts in the U.S. market driven by $4-a-gallon fuel prices. Light truck sales plunged 28 percent in the first half of the year and now account for 44 percent of the U.S. auto market, down from 55 percent six months ago. Detroit's automakers already have revised their production plans, with General Motors Corp. announcing the closure of four truck plants in an acknowledgment that the shifts in demand seem permanent. During previous oil shocks, Toyota had increased its presence in the U.S. market. But after launching a full-size Tundra early last year, Toyota has been buffeted in recent months. Toyota's U.S. sales are down 6.8 percent this year, including a 14.7 percent decline in its highly profitable Lexus luxury vehicles. In June, the automaker's U.S. sales tumbled 21.4 percent, even more than the overall market, as dealers found themselves stocked with Toyota and Lexus trucks they couldn't sell, and short of small, fuel-efficient cars. Sales of the Tundra plunged 53 percent in June. According to J.P. Morgan's Tokyo-based analyst Takaki Nakanishi, Toyota has truck inventories equivalent to 99 days' supply, well above desirable levels. The halt in truck output, announced Thursday morning to the factory workers, should help Toyota reduce those inventories. In addition to the workers at the truck plant, workers at an engine plant in Alabama will be affected, too. Toyota said they would be provided work, but the company has laid off or will lay off some 750 temporary workers at the plants. Under the production adjustments announced Thursday, Toyota is scheduled to begin production of the Prius hybrid in Blue Springs, Miss., in 2010. It will consolidate full-size pickup truck production in San Antonio in the spring of 2009 and start making Highlander SUVs in Princeton in the fall of that year. The automaker warned investors in May that its annual profits would fall for the first time in seven years because of weakening demand in the United States, where analysts estimate Toyota generates half its earnings.

Bet they are rethinking this whole not wanting a union thing now!

Hey fellas, just remember this shit when election time is here in march!!! You know its just a matter of time before these shit sniffin cock roaches are lined up outside the gates asking for are votes promising us the world!!! But just remember, ACTIONS speak louder than words!!! And in this sorry excuse of a union its " NO ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS!!! I say lets put everyone of these no good crooks back on the line and let them see the " utopia" they have created All I have to say to them is ROTATE

So, how many people will get screwed on unemployment and sub pay this time? My guess............FUCKIN ALOT!!!

"The grass is always greener from the other side". I thought the same about my last plant! From what I gather talking to the young guys that were here the last election, "Ole Joe blow windbag" Talked a big game from his high low. Telling these young guys anything they wanted to hear!! We at MTP did the same with Sam Caincross, when he promised that if we voted for him he would get us are 3 crew back, then when we voted for him he said the 3 crew is not comming back and he said " I told the company that they can work you as many saturdays as they want" My only beef with DTP voting in "ole windbag" is he wasnt even a district commitee.........Let alone a barganning Rep? I mean at least Caincross was a Barganning repwhen we voted for him!!! If I am still here in march ( As I have said, come hell or high water i am out of the Rouuuuuge......through buyout or call back) I will ONLY vote for someone who IS NOT from DTP!!!! If you want my vote, you had to have been moved to DTP in the last year!!!! Anybody else has been " INFECTED" with the bullshit this union has been trying to feed us!!!! :happy feet:
