HelloE

Look 4crew is no different than reg. days/afternnons/midnights each shift has its draw backs and not for everyone. Some people HATE reg. midnights just like some hate 4crew. Working weekends? come on most trade work the weekends anyway.... ETAP? few used it on reg. scheds.... people dragging their ass in on 4crew- HA! most of reg. days shift guys look like zombies or the walking dead when they work early....

Well since mgm never came back to give a response I guess I can give you just a few. Can you explain to me how the m/w's were able to get a leader put on in fab shop (Stroz) without a posting every going up for all senority employees to put in for it? All the other trades that are out of leader ratio were told by you that the company would not put any more leaders on because they want to go cordinators. If you say it is because the company wanted one there than that was your opportunity to have them put a leader in another trade, like toolmakers that have one leader for the whole trade. If they say no, then you should not agree to the m/w leader in fab shop, but again I'm sure you were looking out for the best interest of all the trades right? Can you explain to me how when 6f had a reduction in force last year, 2 m/w's on afternoons were suddenly absorbed in dept. 722 on afternoons? Without a posting again? When the electricians and pipefitters inquired about getting addtional manpower they were told that dept. 722 was at or above there RTO. Where did these 2 magical spots come from? Why were they never posted? How did the m/w's keep snow removal for an additional year past what the contracted stated? I highly doubt the company kept this work out of the goodness of there heart. Something was given up for one trade to keep this work for an additional year. The cleaners were contracted out in a timely manner according to the contract but the snow removal was on the same page of the contract buy yet it took an additional year to happen. These are just a couple issues but I don't want to post many more because I don't want to get in the way of you getting elected as plant committee. Good luck

these trades keep getting taken care of at VD. Like last contract when we were forced to give up CHIP HANDLEING, CLEANERS AND GARBAGE COLLECTION yet trades got to keep SNOW REMOVAL!!!!! look on page 103 of your blue contract book...."Ford out of snow removal by no later than 2009." ....guess what one job was fought for and won...the one trade job!!!!! we got sold out!!

Scott, should save his money because he won't be able to get his own trade to vote for him (millwrights) and all the other trades would not vote for another millwright to put into the committee room.
