Yes, I agree!

Wow, already the complaining. I haven't heard anything from the UAW about be glad you have a job. Where did you get that?

The retirees did not get any cuts and from what I've been told on the VEBA, they will receive some improvements. It has been in the press that there are about 10 retirees for every active working union member. It is not financially possible for the active employees to give up or pay something for retirees. That would mean one worker would have to come up with 10X the money for retirees. For a $250 bonus for retirees, each active employee would have to give up $2500.

Maybe you can make some more predictions. It is a great day for the membership at AAI. Congratulations!

So if you save it online, you have the books, correct?

Word is DTP chairman, Nick Katalis, told the Region 1 and 1A leadership he supported the contract along with two other bargaining reps. The word has spread far and wide since it was said earlier today in Detroit.

I am leaning yes from what I've heard and read, but still need to get more information on the contract.

It will be interesting at our membership meeting. We don't seem to have all the complaints that are here.

Out of the park? It looks good so far, but after we've read the language and have our membership meetings, I will not be sure. I am willing to keep an open mind on it.

I am very interested in this part of the tentative contract.

Sure it will be taxed and in most other countries it would be taxed. Are you saying you don't want the money?

It may not be true. But, this maybe worse than the 1930s. We have Republican governors in many (formerly) pro-union states such as Michigan and Ohio. The Republicans are trying to break unions and have been succesful to a certain extent in Minnesota, Ohio, Michigan, New Jersey and Florida. The media is run by Fox News types that hate unions. So, it may not be true, but it could actually be possible.

It is better than GM. Love your tag--Dearborn Fuck Plant.
