Thanks for this post. It looked like Marchionne was throwing a temper tantrum because Bob King didn't drop everything to come see him. Some in my plant felt the same way. But, they are the ones always complaining about the International and how they can never do anything right. Members taking the side of management and claiming they are union. Pitiful. I am glad King continued at GM to finish up that agreement and we also see the real Marchionne--a spoiled brat who wants everything on his terms.

I have read Gary's fliers. He leaves out a lot of information. His fliers aren't accurate or true. If he has a brain, he's not using it. You aren't too bright if you would rather leave up negotiations to an arbitrator. Have you ever been to court when the judge determines the final outcome? If you have, most times you get screwed. If the UAW went that route, you would be complaining they went to arbitration. There is no winning with you guys. You DTP boys are messed up with your dumb and selfish thinking.

I am glad it is done. Not too much details in the article, just speculation on them. It will be interesting once we get them.

How do you "KNOW" all of this? Sounds like another asshole starting another rumor on this site to stir up the membership. Hey, why don't you try talking to your chairman or president on this issue and stop putting out this bullshit?

Yes, either liquidspine or fordptworker1993 is lying or one lied and the other is spreading this bullshit. My chairman said this issue is headed to arbitration. Is DTP a bullshit factory or what?

If it's "speculation", why are you putting this bullshit here? Nothing like starting an unfounded rumor to stir the members up. Did you get something from your Chairman on this? If not, cut the crap!

Is it really coming down to the plants that need work against those who are all set and want to fill their pockets? We need work in too many plants to allow greedy people like Gary Walkowicz to carry on as if he is some kind of savior for the working man. He is not. If we would have listened to him in 2007 other plants would have been at risk or closed. Now, some of those plants have product and work. We need to work on getting other plants product and work as our #1 priority. We have to be our brother's keeper and think about the future--not just of Gary and the DTP, but every one of our plants. There are many anxious UAW brothers & sisters who are more concerned with their job and job security instead of Gary and DTP stuffing their pockets full of cash.

Now the Tigers come to Cleveland for three games. Even though they have split the series, 6-6, Detroit is only 1-5 in Progressive Field.

How about Ohio State? They looked pretty good against Akron. Don't seem that they will be a pushover even without Jim Tressel. We will see on October 1 when Michigan State plays at the Horseshoe.

Bullshit. Newspapers job is to sell papers, not to tell us the truth. Yes, Judith Miller lied about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. She basically told us what the Bush Administration wanted and it was all lies. SO, you are promoting unfounded rumors. Judith Miller from wikipedia--please note her deceptions on the American people: 'Judith Miller (born January 2, 1948) is a Pulitzer Prize-winning American journalist, formerly of the New York Times Washington bureau. Her coverage of Iraq's alleged Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) program both before and after the 2003 invasion generated much controversy.[1] A number of stories she wrote while working for the New York Times later turned out to be inaccurate or completely false.[2][3][4][5] Miller was later involved in disclosing Valerie Plame's identity as CIA personnel. She spent three months in jail for claiming reporter's privilege and refusing to reveal her sources in the CIA leak. Miller retired from her job at the New York Times in November 2005. Later she was a contributor to the Fox News Channel and a fellow at the conservative Manhattan Institute think-tank. On December 29, 2010, numerous media outlets reported that she had signed on as a contributing writer to the conservative magazine Newsmax.[6][4]' So, she hid the identity of the person who leaked an undercover American spies identity. That is treason, isn't it? She lied about WMD and then went to work for two rightwing media outlets in Fox and Newsmax. A real winner you picked out. I think you did a great job of proving my point.

Don't leave out the Cleveland Indians. They can take it. We got Thome the Tiger killer.

Great way of starting an unfounded rumor. There was nothing in the article with quotes attributed to a source within the UAW or GM or any other company for that matter. Just Brent Snavely promoting shit and you guys stirring it.
