It is 1.44%. As skilled one pointed out, it is in Constitution. Also, it has been disclosed in every past contract highlight book, always under the heading "Dues: A constitutional matter".

Purple book has always been available on the UAW website.... www.uaw.org MEMBERS AUTO BARGAINING FORD

Nope. Always been the 9th. 54c purple book.

What in 403c makes you think you will be "forced" to move? "PS&L non-skilled legacy and New Traditional employees will be considered as surplus concurrent with the effective date of this agreement and will be included in future VOLUNTARY preferential placement opportunities".

On the bottom left of your paycheck should be "INSURANCE CODE - __". Look at your benefits book pages 188-189 for how much that code represents. It is based on your base hourly rate.

Last years FAQ example was 3.90 so 2.9 this year might not be far off...

It is not "per contract". This agreement on 50/50 was made between HR and Int'l a few years ago and affects only those HVC's which do not have an onsite medical department. Has nothing to do with your Chairman or local management..... Your state law may stipulate that the WC visits are to be paid, but many do not have this provision. Check. Otherwise, put a resolution in for the next Contract to change this. Currently, there is no language which states that you have to be compensated for time spent for these follow up visits. It only states that the employee "will be compensated for the working time lost on the day in question". Assembly, of course, is different being that they have onsite medical. Your mileage to and from Doctor's visits and PT are reimbursed at .555/mile. Keep records.

PDC (Parts Distrubution Center) is what the HVC's (High Velocity Center) used to be called. And no, none will be open as far as I know. Not sure if Memphis HCC (High Cube Center), Sacremento HCC, or Detroit HCC will be open.

Among other stipulations while on approved sick leave or Workers Comp.... "the participant is actively at work for the Company during at least one complete calendar week in the Plan Year.." Page 13i and 14i of the red book that has the Profit Sharing and Health Care provisions.

He may work at a HVC. Broken Down...Do you work at a HVC??

LOL Chucky's Scam Check the link out. Read the comments at the bottom. I like this one.. "So, if you looking into the 'fake' Web site, you can pull off the guy's email address...(watkins3752@yahoo.c om) after putting THAT info a search engine, you can pull up a few other classified ads for stuff he's selling, and you can navigate to his E-bay profile. I wonder why the news hasn't requested a meeting with him? If I can find all this info out- why can't they?"

Dane, if inflation rises 100% or more, isn't it safe to say we will all be out of a job, or at the least, be looking at massive layoffs? It won't matter if we have COLA "protection" or not. If inflation rises 100% nobody will be able to afford a new car or truck.

We pay dues just like you.

It is a parts warehouse. Part of PS&L (FCSD). When you get your Ford, Lincoln, or Mercury serviced, the dealer gets their parts from us. 23 proud UAW members.

Denver HVC - 74% in Favor (Production and Skilled)

That, I must say, is some funny shit.

Seniority? You don't say that he was/is a bad bargaining rep. Your main beef is his seniority? Tell me, in your opinion, how much seniority should you have before you are put on staff? If you think seniority should be the only determining factor, you are an idiot. Or rather, a jealous idiot....

I take exception with your statement Stang. Ford never graciously gave us anything!

Actually, there is a location in Kansas. Kansas City HVC in Shawnee, Kansas.

Yes, Ford part numbers are coded to the year and vehicle line. The prefix is the year and vehicle. The base is the type of part. The suffix is the side of the vehicle or other instructions such as PTM (paint to match). Many part numbers start out for certain models and new models use them and the part numbers do not change. Motorcraft part numbers are coded to the different product they are (Y=A/C). Hesitant to say more being that this is an open forum. FCSD has many ongoing counterfeit parts investigations. Wouldn't want to help the bastards out. My advice to the original poster.....call a dealer.

Westmont would be unemployed, but he wouldn't take an unemployment check because it is a "socialist" program, right?......or would you westmont?

I'm saying louie is wrong and uneducated in the sense that he read this article (probably emailed to him), immediately thought it was true because he read it, then, without even posting his thoughts on the matter, posts it in its entirety. There is a Bill. http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d111:HR04646:%40%40%40L&summ2=m& No one yet knows how much Healthcare Reform may or may not cost or its effects. Just the same no one yet knows whether this Bill has any legs. I have a bias as do you. It should have passed except with a Public Option. The only backroom deals that I am concerned about are the ones that ripped the guts out of the Bill. Which is exactly what louie did by offering that post as Gospel. As if it was some sort of Presidential edict that then becomes true. Here is a point for you...."Beck is an idiot" I threw his name in there because...... "Beck is an idiot". The guy truly is........ "an idiot". I listen to that "idiot" everyday on the radio along with the progressive channels, flipping back and forth. This guy has so much deep seeded hatred for Unions that it just boggles my mind. He really believes that back in the late 80's and 90's when autos were selling, we, the UAW, negotiated these "bloodsucking" (Beck's words) contracts and knew the companies would go bankrupt because of it. Beck believes that back then we actually knew the crisis was coming for the auto industry and thought to ourselves, we will be alright, the government will bail us out. He actually said that. Are you serious? Don't even get me started about the Government conspiracy to use the black boxes in your car to regulate your fuel consumption. Oh, by the way, the news source that louie got his info from sorta issued an apology for the article. Take nothing at face value. Nothing. http://blogs.standard.net/2010/08/1-percent-transaction-tax-is-proposed-letter-goes-viral-on-the-net/ In conclusion....."Beck is an idiot".

Bullshit. Get your facts straight. The Bill is before Congress, but has NO backers other than its author. As Snopes says..."A snowball's chance in hell". Keep listening to that idiot Beck. http://www.snopes.com/politics/taxes/debtfree.asp
