Thanks Fatso for your reply Kind of thought it was that way.Obviously Dark knight is angry about something. His posting says it is what he does that defines him? He must sit around all day and complain about how much he knows and other people don't? Now I know why I haven't been on here in a long time. So I don't have to read the postings of idiots!!

Really? Just asked for some help Dark Knight ! Didn't need any sacastic comments from someone who hides behind a Mythical cartoon character.Obviously you don't know the answer?

If I could find it in the contract I would read it!

What is the normal procedure if you get disqualified after a few years on the job?

We were told that appendix "J" was not intended for skilled trades to do production work but for skilled trades to work "with" production. But then we were told that "cyclical" doesn't apply to machining areas so I take it machining areas are not production work?

You might advise your production workers to have their local explain to them what they do in Spain that is different then what they do here then. It is to my understanding that all the locals went to Spain to see there operations.

Great question!! What did we just get ourselves into? Who decides what is "cyclical"? Who knows what they do in Spain? I heard there skilled trades runs the machining departments. Did production just give up a bunch of their jobs to the trades?

According to our IUAW highlights it says "Skilled trades team members will not be assigned to cyclical production work" So the average person would think that skilled trades would not be assigned any production jobs. Right? Wrong!! according to the definition of " cyclical" in the dictionary it means " on a regular basis". So does that mean skilled trades would not be assigned to a production job on a regular basis? Who is to determine what a "regular basis" is? READ THE CONTRACT VERY CAREFULLY!!!

There is no overtime after eight hours as people would think . It is the same as it is now If you are scheduled more than your normal 40 hours per week you revert back to a 5- 8 hour a day schedule The only difference is you can get double time on sundays or your third RDO ( after 40 or your work week ) If you are on a 4-10 hour a day schedule you will not get any overtime pay untill after you work 40 hours ( article 2 page 177A of the white pages)

IF YOU READ APPENDIX K OF NEW AGREEMENT WHO SAYS THE COMPANY CAN'T START UP A FOUR CREW WITH THE FIRST THREE CREWS WORKING STRAIGHT EIGHTS MONDAY THRU FRIDAY AND THE FOURTH CREW WORKING ONLY SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS WITH TEMP. PART TIME THEN THEY DON'T HAVE TO PAY ANYONE OVERTIME. IF YOU ARE NOT SCHEDULED TO WORK YOU ARE NOT BEING DISPLACED? CORRECT ME IF I'M READING THIS WRONG

NO NO NO!!!!

Check out appendix k of new agreement and you can decide where the overtime is going!!! temps working two days a week and not getting paid overtime hummmmmmm

The situation was they (company) called off a regular day of production and then called people that day and tried to make them come in. Where might this be found in the contract we have been looking but can't find anything on this thanks
