It's not just trustee, it's UPC and Education also (their elected off their daddy's names) , they seem to want the brother that put out a celebrity endorsement praising Giveaway Gary (perfect nickname) although this was the same brother who at the ratification and the July "information/I don't know" meeting was yelling "vote no and the plant will close, vote no and the plant will go down to one shift, 8 plants are closing in the US". Sadly national played a role too. Well the writing is on the wall, we will all be out of jobs soon thanks to Gary and his posse.

"fiat paper currency" Doesn't "fiat" mean money of the illuminatee (excuse the spelling)? And don't they want to fund our pensions with paper investments? And isn't the only food we can afFORD to buy processed and make us fat and lazy? You're right, it's not a joke.

The WTO did not used to be the GATT, and if we get rid of the WTO we can fall back on the GATT. NAFTA did not make the Autopact obsolete, other countries kept the protectionism under the WTO like our Autopact, the unions never challenged this in court and which union should be fighting for the Autopact, oh the CAW - so why hasn't it. To go against the WTO does not mean sanctions against Canada. Canada trades with Cuba despite the US boycott.

The "secret" product we were awarded will come after the contract ends so we have to vote on it again.

It's a defeatist attitude. What happened to workers fighting for their rights?

This sounds like a union rep, if we wanted lower wages and part time work we would quit, the union didn't "save our jobs", the plant is going nowhere and our jobs are going to Premier and Automodular. The membership voted YES because the leadership scared them with "VOTE NO AND THE PLANT WILL CLOSE" , yes we want them to say NO to CONcessions, and never once in over a year before ratification were the membership informed, the in-plant language was not discussed at ratication, and we have to whine on our computers because they cut Lindsay's microphone, that's that worker who speaks up for other workers, oh btw your pension is going down the drain too, enjoy retiring into poverty.

Out of a job yet? Keep supporting leadership who support concessions.

Stop supporting the leadership, which includes the master bargaining committee, who supports the selling of our sunset jobs.

There will only be a few call backs and they will be gone in September when next round of layoffs hits.

That's right, we don't need to hire anyone but TPTs, we can work 6 days a week with less break time, more work added onto our jobs and 2 weeks less vacation.
