  1. Ididdoiit No one wants to face the reality, we all know this, we see the effects of it on the floors of ever plant but most people believe that it will fix itself. It will not. The number one priority moving forward for the members should be how the UAW as an organization that represents workers in every industry must change its direction from being a buisness to being in buisness to protect and fight for its workforce. My father worked for 35 and I also have 10 years in a Uaw building and the minute they announced that they union was responsible for the healthcare benefits for active and retirees I know that this was the nail in the coffin for anyone who still had hope in a organization thats main concern is rights of its members. These funds have hundreds of millions of dollars in them and you think with the folks at international will ever let that go, they will do what ever it takes even at the cost of its members. The legacy folks are on there way out care but after 20 or 30 years of shouting, screaming and constant confrontation while to many of there peirs are conflicted or disillusioned on there concerns have faced the reality that we dealing with a billion dollar monster and my single voice will be shut down if it conflicts with feeding and growing the beast. This call for change must start with the Low man or women up. If the new hires speak up and unify on there demands not only will it possibly lead to change it will also avoid the legacy, retirees and the first folks who took a stand and suffered humiliation, intimidation violence, threats, physical and emotional injuries and deaths to not go in vain. If not, why do we even work for a union organizated company. We just want the perks and benifets that are being taken every single year since those before us protested for or against.
