why do retirees recieve christmas bonus and we active workers dont?
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.

"Get us facts and let us decide."
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.

Over the last, 3 or so years, truck night shift has changed their schedule about every 4 months, be it from 6pm to 4:30pm start or swapping to C-crew on SUV and back.
My favorite poster in KCAP was the one (they took it down) that gave advice on getting enough sleep it suggested you: Keep a regular schedule.
To those of you who are saying "it could be worse" - it can ALWAYS be worse. If we don't fight to keep what we have, you end up losing everything. Nobody <-- read, NOBODY should be working 2 days on days and then 2 days on nights, especially in a factory.
Yes! Thank god some one finally gets it.

Why dont you give some examples of " They can do that". Sounds like your one of those people that bitch and complain about everything, and either have never read the contract or ever bothered showing up to the union meetings. You are correct about ONE thing that you stated, if your comm person is using the "Good Ole Boy" system it needs to stop. That is when you take spesific examples to the bargainers to handle, and if they dont then you can elevate it further, if you are correct. One thing is for sure KCAP needs a little help from the Internation Union, like Product commitment, help with the company basatardizing the rebalance we are going through, and help stopping the Co. from pushing the three crew back and forth at any given time. We all know that the Local leadership didn't want the three crew along with the members. We are only as strong as the weakest link and it sounds like it is you, quit bitching and stabbing people in the back and try helping your Brothers and Sisters.
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.

QUOTE (towel boy @ Sep 16 2009, 08:51 PM)This is just another example of International taking care of their precious DETROIT PLANTS AND NO ONE ON THE OUTSIDE. The sub credits are running out in Detroit on their 3 crew, so they are just manipulating KC once again..
I didn't see KCAP complaining last year when FORD WAS TAKING CARE OF THEIR PRECIOUS KANSAS CITY PLANT by moving KCAP Truck night shift over to SUV side to avoid laying off anyone,meanwhile at DTP they laid off 1000 people......
Looks like to us here in Detroit that KCAP gets all the special treatment and job security....
Its sad that you think by no one getting laid off at KCAP that you guys are being manipulated.......I've heard it all now...
I'd love to hear you go home and tell your family that FORD is not going to lay me off but instead they are manipulating me by creating a C-Crew in order for me to keep working!!!
When a lay off hits KCAP like it has at DTP you guys will be singing a different tune out there!
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.

keep cyring... u will always have low seniority deal with it...
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.

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.
