If they overpay you, you may have to pay it all back.

Hey,,,, there is a big BLUE OVAL sitting on a post in front of the closed Whitman ford dealership in Temperance, MI. Does anybody need one?

This will only be a crappy contract if you vote it in. No matter what Bob says or how much he waves his arms, raises his voice, even jumps up and down. He can't vote in the contract. Only you can. If you don't like what is behind door number one and can't live with it for four years, vote against it. Don't keep quite tell your friends how you feel. The Union negotiators will be telling what they think and they have microphones. This should be a contract for YOU, not the Union Negotiators.

How much of your future would you be willing to gamble on that?

My understanding is it is in the Local contract. It was negotiated localy.

Home plant are the key words here. Most trades working production are temps at Saline.

There is something I don't understand here. These are ACH workers in a ACH plant who are trying to run for office And you are a Ford worker in a ACH plant who don't want them to take a position in which they are entitled too. If the plant had the big FORD sighn out front I could understand but it don't. Secondly your union dues to the UAW are two hour a week and if you are layed off two hours of nothing is nothing. So they should be in good standing as far as dues go.

Maybe we should double check that. I think auto profits are way up not auto sales.

Is there any way to invite a news reporter from the paper or TV and let them work the line for one whole week to see how people realy work? I don't think people realy know how hard the work realy is. They need to be told by a third party who has been there. Bring this up to your union.

The layed off trades have been saying the same thing for about four years and we are still getting bounced around plant to plant with no seniority. Maybe you will be that lucky too. But I would rather see your plant make a big come back with even more Ford cars.

Now I agree with all you have said. It could topple the union eventually.

You voted in the two tier system. What did you expect?

As you will see through the years there are many mistakes made that you will just have to live with. Some day they may get it right and you may be allowed to bid on other plants. In the mean time you should be greatfull you have a RTBU to fall back on. Many other tradesmen do not have this luxury. their plants are gone.

Maybe the rest of us will stop buying the products you make and spred the word to others. When demand gets low enough Ford will just transfer your products to Mexico.

Mine is fine. It could just be your slow dialup.
