DTP should seal the deal-PASSED Camptown Ladies sing this song DO-DAAH, DO-DAAH

Those guys could sure use, SOAP on a ROPE, for a present this Christmas

This gonna be some tough weather to STRIKE in.I was only kiddin around!Where is that guy with the plastic paint bucket?

No sympathy from me,either.DONT DROP THE SOAP!

and what E-X-A-C-T-I-C-A-L-L-Y do you "allege"? Do you any proof to support what you "allege"?Oh,I get it,just because the IUAW president and past president are under investigation by the FBI.Just because high ranking IUAW officials are currently under indictment.Just because UAW official have plead guilty to corruption charges and are serving time in prison.Is that all it takes to make you so distrustful.As 16 year old Greta Thunberg would say "how DARE you"

It aint over till the BIG DOG Local 600 votes.Cant wait for those sale flyers!

Dont worry about the cameras.The locals should insist that any resulting video footage obtained shall NOT be used for disciplinary purposes or the company can 'shove it'.One thing the workers will never be told is exactly how much we are necessary to the companies survival.We are all highly trained and have proven ourselves capable.C`mon,the company needs us as much as we need them.I gotta itch that you wont believe and its ,,,,,right there!Catch all that?Wanna see more?

You aint that clever Dark One.Just because I am paranoid 'dont mean that no one is out to get me'.Tighten up the procedure involved in voting on something as important as a National 4 year Contract at the,absolutely,most powerful and influential local,LOCAL 600,in the UAW.Stop the "allegation" game.You are using a word slightly out of context.There is NO ALLEGATION being made.There is the possibility and appearance of impropriety.There is the point being made that the vote can be made more secure.Your own guilty conscience is what turned that into that into an "allegation".By the way,,,,,this contract has not passed yet.I wonder how Local 600 will vote?They report last,dont they?CHEESE IT,,,,,,,THE FEDS.I take it that you are a good union member.I wish you no ill will,brother.Let us 'right the ship' and regain credibility in the UAW.Have you voted yet?I think the IUAW did us all well and progress was made.I would have liked a buyout offer but I understand that is not a "gimme" and I am guessing that Ford Motor has manpower needs and requirements in order to run the company.I guess that my trade is harder to simply replace than production.GOOD JOB UAW and onto greater profits Dark One,lead the way!By the way I thought you were ignoring me?Oh stop it,,dont take any of this personal.Opinions are like assholes,everyones got one.Keep Smilin!Gary Jones,Dennis Williams and the rest of those lovable cads.I wonder,,,,,do you think those strippers were paid only to walk around and light cigars?Or,is there stuff we still dont know about?BAM-A-LAM!Could that be ,yet another "ALLEGATION"?

Cant wait.Gonna sit my fat ass in my motorized cart down at Wal-Mart and LOAD UP.Best get out my way!Thats all I can say!

When do we get the signing bonus?YIPEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Yeah,the guy is way beyond difficult to reason with.Being defensive is a way to distract from the issue of making the voting procedure more secure.Notice how Local 600 will report last or near the end.What does Fox News and Rush Limbaugh have to do with anything?They dont care about the union vote.The UAW is not that important to the rest of the nation.I can only hope he keeps his word and IGNORES ME.Meantime I will leave the investigation of corruption in the UAW in the competent hands of Alex Jones. I mean,the Federal Bureau of Investigation.CHEESE-IT!

The Locals will be expected to go along or it would not be in the National Contract.The Locals maybe able to tweak the details of how the cameras are used but remember the UAW motto--COMPLIANCE is MANDATORY.I gotta nasty itch in my pants,,,,,excuse me.I wish they had better toilet paper around this place!

First,my sincere condolences on your friends tragic loss.Insulting me will not solve the problem."opiod epidemic" is NOT a disease like diabetes or arthritis or autism it is a behavioral problem.Coddling drug addicts by calling their lack of self-control a disease and labeling them as "victims" of society,obviously does not help.I dont know you.I was totally unaware of your personal situation and I honestly dont wish you any ill feelings.You ever catch your own kids messing around with drugs,do them a favor.Break their nose and tell them its Karma.Even after that,realize that the problem of stopping drug addiction is the responsibility of the addicted person themselves.If somebody else could do it for them,they would.I am a different person than Bucko,we just share a similiar point of view on this issue along with countless others.

I go beyond "allege" when I know the procedure for voting on the National Contract at Local 600 was unsecure. Okay what does that mean?It means not protected from attack or other criminal activity.Does that mean I "allege" vote tampering?No,I know that it is a possibility.I voiced my concerns to the Local and they assured me that there was no messing with the ballots and without proof I guess I have to trust.Maybe it was honest,but why all of a sudden was the procedure for voting less secure than the procedure for voting to elect union officers?The top officials of the IUAW may go to prison and the UAW itself may be forced into receivership.At this point I trust nobody and for good reason.I "allege" that the day before the Feds handed down indictments that everybody was passing themselves off as honest and ethical.The vote tally from the largest local at Ford has ramifications for every Ford/UAW worker in the nation.I hope the feds leave no stone unturned in their use of the word "allege".Cheese it-----THE FEDS!

This Furious Guy is a real "weirdo".Damn the SOB why doesnt he just HANG UP?

Right On.I see the company propaganda about the opioid crisis as being a disease?So,getting high and feeling no pain is not desirable or a mental weakness it is a "disease"?Hey I got that disease too.Only I dont like the consequences of facing reality when I come down.Just like homeless people are BUMS and criminals,opioid addicts are ultimately responsible for themselves.I grew up in the 70`s.You name the drug and I probably did it.Coddling a drug addict or a BUM is no solution.Compassion along with "tough love" is the answer.Face reality and own up to your own problems.Look at what you are doing.How does your behavior affect others?If I can do it,anyone can do it.NO FEAR

Live like a king,brother,you earned it.CAP does put out some kik ass products.Screw the punk-ass gangs and cliques.

I have no reason to lie and let me say that I did make very good money working at the Rouge and I worked with some highly talented people.What more proof that corruption exists within the UAW do you want?Top IUAW officials have plead GUILTY to corruption charges and gone to prison?The past and current president are being investigated by the FBI?Rory Gamble needs to re-evaluate the rules and procedures and tighten them up a bit.People being people I think it is impossible to totally eliminate unethical behavior so why make it easier to occur?For the last time and I dont know if things changed,I dont work there anymore,the way that voting on a National Contract was done,vote tampering and possible corruption looked fairly easy to do.Once again this is by far the largest local at Ford Motor Company and that is what makes Local 600 the most powerful.To those that want to "slam me" I say,the FEDS are watching this time so just keep doin what y`all been doin.The Feds probably read this forum.On a side note,with that $60,000 buyout + signing bonus + performance bonus you should be pretty happy!A turkey and a ham this Christmas!Yes ya always want more but sometimes "you get what you need".

"Crappy pension is better than no pension" that is the best we can do?Well obviously YES it is.The company won the pension ,issue battle, in previous contracts and yes,now we are divided on the subject based on seniority.I doubt if many younger workers are going to strike for an increase in pension benefits that they dont even get.I can see a day coming when the company will refuse to fund VEBA.That means work till your 65 and then go on Medicare.I dont see it changing so keep contributing to your individual retirement accounts.One day you will be glad you did.I give up,,,when do I get my signing bonus?

What do you want proof of?I am saying I worked there and that was the procedure for the vote on the National Contract.I no longer work there and things might have changed.That was the way it was done.A union rep walking around the plant with a plastic paint bucket that, you drop a slip of paper into.Now where I currently work,you show up at the union hall and drop your slip into a locked,metal box.All I want is my vote counted fairly.I pay my dues,I get a vote.I never said that I saw the votes counted and changed.I did not.I am saying that the procedure for the vote should be more secure,especially at the largest local.A local that has enough votes to decide the outcome for the entire membership.Lax rules present an opportunity that may,,,,MAY,,,,,lead to corruption.Want proof of corruption in the union?Read the newspaper.I dont care what you believe or accept as proof.I WAS THERE!

I dunno?At this point you are a total enigma and confusing the heck out of me.Wish I could sit down and buy you a beer,Bud.You take care and God Bless.

Detroit Lions 27 Chicago Bears 23 I like that math! Wanna know how crappy your Ford pension is?Figure you get $53 a month for every year worked. 30 years times $53 a month = $1600 a month approx.= $19,200 a year.Let me emphasize that is after showing up for 30 years,reliably in a factory,manufacturing, environment.The retirees having not received am increase in their LIB ,have been paying for the last 3 contracts.Just give me my signing bonus,,,,,PLEASE and if you dont like the job,take $60,000 of "free money" and find another job or stay home.Unless you are trades of course and then,,,,,want some O.T.?

Oh PLEASE,,,,,,,,,,I might as well sign my name at this point.Oakman blvd.turns into Miller Road south of Michigan Avenue [yeah,there`s the the Pantheon go-go club}and I dunno,I think it was Gate 5 where the Miller Road overpass and also an entrance to the freakin Rouge {welcome to HELL} was.Uh,,,,,what else do ya want?Now in all fairness {cuz I liked my mitty-man} of course I did not witness any tampering HOWEVER the problem is that the process was totally unsecure.Local 600 has the most members.That alone is what makes Local 600 the most powerful local.Not because Local 600 is the most philosophically,convicted, dedicated,to unionism,.In my opinion where I work now ,as far as unionism goes,,,well makes my miserable existence at Ford at least bearable.Politics,greed and corruption is involved in everything where a person can make an easy dollar bill.Unless Rory changes the existing structure of the rules,making it harder to get away with taking kick-backs from the company,the scandals will keep reappearing only with different names involved.

WOW! BRAVO! I hope one day you find somebody you impress.

Voting on something as important as a 4 year National Contract should be secured and safeguarded.Not just a union rep walking around the plant holding a plastic, old paint,bucket for members to toss a slip of paper into.Lazy rules make it easier for corruption to occur.Local 600 is the largest,by membership,they have the most votes.
