  1. 36 reasons to thank a union???? How many of these 36 reasons no longer apply to us UAW members??
  2. http://my.blogtalkradio.com/donny-c/2015/08/30/the-uaw-factory-whistle-show These guys talk about a lot of valid issues that we're dealing with now with IUAW and the big 3 companies. It's a pretty long radio podcast but they talk about a lot of important issues regarding UAW rank and file employees and the bullshit we've been putting up with for way too long.
  3. Great but depressing, because it's true. Companies keep fucking the employees with the IUAW's support. And employees no longer stick together to fight for what's owed to us.
  4. The reason there's less drama in non-union shops is because none of the employees will stand up for themselves for fear of losing their jobs. I guarantee you without UAW you would have a much heavier work load, there wouldn't be nowhere near as many jobs available. My brother works in a non-union shop and he is an "electrician". He does all the maintanance that needs to be done in the whole shop. They have one Maintanance classification and its "electrician", they do everything that all our trades combined do. Do you know how many jobs that right there would eliminate?? That's not including all the production jobs that would disappear if we didn't have the uaw
  5. Do you have any idea how ridiculous you sound when you post stupid shit like that??
  6. I know it's not much of an excuse. But the reason more locals didn't vote No is because after the first two locals voted it down the IUAW panicked and held emergency meetings at every local with some of the guys who actually wrote tha contract strongly urging us to vote Yes. With all the pressure and scare tactics from IUAW people were to scared to vote it down
  7. Ok are you saying that's a false statement?? You're telling me that you walked up and knocked on labor relations office door and asked for an application?? If that's what you're saying you're either a liar or the only person that I've ever heard of getting in without someones help. Unless it was in the 1970's or earlier
  8. How did you get your job?? You and everyone you work with all got your jobs from somebody you know there that got you in.
  9. Thanx. And thanx for the advice. I know how much shit production has to put up with and I'm definitely grateful for finally getting this chance to start my apprenticeship.
  10. Ya you're right, on a Monday. Usually last days are Friday
  11. Ford will file it for you. Every time I've volunteered they filed the claim.
