oldskool

How long of a shift is Dearborn truck actually working? Rumor is all of the frames are being sent to Dearborn in preparation for a strike in KC.

I understand how you feel but.. personally. I'm for protecting our retirees. Nothing should be taken away from them EVER. They've done their time. On the other hand, I feel that them old folks still meandering around our plants with a token torque wrench or some damn electric cart need to RETIRE!! Young people need jobs to provide for their families too.

So, are you wanting the facts as per the IUAW representative I spoke with last week?? He really put quite a spin on the "facts". Any fact can be debated and disproven. Use your brain.. VOTE NO.

- 4000 trannies - pulling your leg - vandyke Sorry, just had a Beavis and Butt-Head moment.. :shades:

Yes! Thank god some one finally gets it.

Weakest Link.. I love that.. Next time I run into someone that's a victim of a crime I'll tell them " You're not a victim just a weak link, quit your crying " So what does that mean exactly, when our reps give it to us in the ass we're just supposed to enjoy it?? PLEASE NOTE not all our reps here are worthless, only about 85%. Some are really good people busting their ass for everyone they can.

Yeah, DTP sure showed KCAP, I'll never forget working saturdays because a plant with 3 shifts got behind by 2700 trucks in a matter of 2 weeks. So the plant working 1 shift had to make it up.. U guys up to 50 JPH yet out there??? I really don't think anyone in here wants a union brother/sister to be on lay off. Are you on lay off CandyCane?? U sure seem to have a lot of free time. Posting under every thread that doesn't even relate to you must be tiring. take a break.

I work at KCAP , I had enough senority to stay days. The "UAW Friends and Family Plan" at local 249 is growing in numbers. I'd like to know how much it costs to join this club, obviously my dues and meeting attendence isn't enough. Do I need to leave my wife and marry an ugly sister-in-law or something?? I signed up for the non-pro x-fer to trim. All the AWOLers and medical prone were given first pick (you know , people they want to get rid of). I was told "20 openenings were coming up soon".. Typical lies. Our contract is made out of swiss cheese, they can argue just as easily against your grievence as for it. I am personally sick and tired of hearing this "low senority deal with it..." SHIT!!! IUAW needs to be contacted, there are many of us that show up every day, bust our asses, have real jobs not some sit on your ass- torque wrench carrying - cart driving - internet surfing on your job fucktard bullshit job. In all my years here I have never seen it so bad. Almost everything done here is the result of some back door deal. Long story short .. my point is ... SENORITY means nothing, our local will sell you out in 30 seconds for one of their pals/friends or family. I will be contacting International about this also. I have lots of examples and nothing to lose but my time, cuz i sure as hell don't have any one on my side anyway. and yah. I know Burger King is hiring.. I need a refresher on my Spanish before I apply.
