How about, people need to start actually showing up for work ?? It’s cool with me, it just gets rid of the garbage that’s making my day harder. I get bumped off my job to cover for someone out partying

Sorry I’ve been dealing with a few negative nancy’s all day ???

No matter how long you strike they’re not gonna do that. Even if I stop at $28 it’s ok with me. Where else you gonna get that money, without going back to school

I’ll have 7 yrs on the 12th so depending on how long it takes to ratify this I’ll go to top pay. And even if I didn’t I’ll still make $28. What’s the problem??

Ok then the people on that site also needs to know that you’re posing as something you’re not ???

I thought that was how the 2015 contract was. I’ve been looking for that in the book but I couldn’t find it.

Called it!!!

No strike!!!! Let’s just keep working. Also I’m on LinkedIn just in case??

Please spread this glorious message around the entire auto industry. You would think all high seniority guys would want to get out.

That’s good news! Now people can stop asking me when Ford is gonna hire again lol

I gotta read that part again. But then you gotta ask yourself this: Are they gonna hire anyone else full time anyway ?

I don’t understand what these guys with 5-8 years in are complaining about. You work one more contract and get max pay. Were you guys not gonna keep working here? If you keep working you gonna get max pay. Where else are you gonna get what we get already? I got 7 in so I get the max next year and it’s not a problem. I don’t think people should say no to that. That’s my opinion anyway

What’s wrong with it I wonder. All I’ve been hearing is people hate it.

Ahhh.... thank you for explaining that, sir! I knew all this was familiar. I’ve dealt with their types before on different message boards in the past. Like I said before, if a Ford strike is called I’ll be there with everyone else. What I won’t do is just go out the door without voicing my view, which is let’s just keep making money while we can. If we charge these guys $40 per hr or whatever wage you all want, and a recession hits, and they can’t afford us then we’re all screwed. Be mindful of all situations first, then make a educated vote.

That’s the definition on fake news sir I don’t care about any of this. I don’t care about what the media says. I don’t care about what some UAW keyboard jockey says. I’m comfortable with what I’m being paid now, and I say keep the line running. We are making money and we got health care. What more do you want? Seriously, I’d like to know. I said the same thing in 2015. You want a COLA, get a side hustle like I did or stop living like your top 50 on the Forbes list. Either way don’t try to take money from me or food off my table. I’m gonna speak up every time. And these UAW people are nowhere to be found on the plant floor when I need them. They only show up when it’s time to get re-elected. I support the union because I work there and I like some of my co-workers. But you guys would ruin my life to save yourselves and get benefits that aren’t feasible in this day and age. That sucks to me.

Who the hell do you think you are? You sound like you’d rather walk picket lines than actually work. You’re a joke and a scam! I know your type. Always thinking the “man” is making your life hard. And that’s why you made multiple treads trying to rile up the membership?? I don’t think you work for Ford at all. I think you’re a troll, and your opinion is trash. You’re a dinosaur with a old timers thought patterns. Your time in power is ending, you better enjoy it.

This furious guy is a joke if he thinks the entirety of the “rank and file” wants what he wants. So far everyone I’ve spoken to doesn’t want to strike! My brother is at DTP and he’s saying the same thing. You think this is the battle of the overpass or something?? When you get what you want, will you be at Black Lake?? With the strippers and cigars and 18 holes a day?? WTF!!

I don’t know any of that. I’m in-progression with 7yrs in so I’m just about at the top. Which is why I want to keep working!!! So at my current $26.49 (I’m a job setter extra couple cents) yeah its very easy to make $80-90K. Last year OT was everywhere and I took it. I worked 84hrs in a week easy (well not easy but you get it). My plant doesn’t work like yours I guess. All the trades I work with on my line work crazy OT as well, so I think they made good money too. Dude seriously.... your a joke. You want to flame a dues paying brother just because I have a different viewpoint than you. I told you where I work, but you haven’t said anything. I don’t think you really work for the company. Maybe your a news reporter? Or a Internet troll or something? So you’ve been making $15.78 this whole time? You’re not at top pay yet? Are you a STS? You honestly should have left and got a different job sir. The guys who trained me at DTP told me that when I started as LTS. They told me not to stay if I didn’t get rolled over after a year or so.

What plant are you at that only does 40hrs per week? Are you getting short work week every week? You need to transfer. And I don’t know about you but my pay went up according to the contract so I made $15 per hr for a year then went up. I averaged 60 hrs per week last year easy so yeah 90k is nothing. I’m thankful for it. Oh and my “legacy” co-workers did 110k easy. I shopped around the floor for work because I’m trying to start my family. I just want to take advantage of what you “legacy” guys had for years. Don’t knock me down now please. You want to turn the money off for what really? Tell me in plain English.

If we walk I’m there with you, I just want to work and make money. The politics don’t matter to me

I’m At Livonia I have a better job than you. Be realistic about this. Everybody I talk to doesn’t want this. We just want to work.

I’m all for standing with the union cause I pay dues, but do you really think that’ll happen? What are we actually fighting for? $50 per hr? Plus health and profit sharing? Temps getting rolled over? Everybody in my age group is struggling to get $17 per hr and are still applying for the temp jobs. And you guys wanna walk the line when we’re getting double! My last job was Best Buy and I was happy to get $11 per hr and looked up to you guys and envied you! Now your crying because you feel like since the company is doing well, you wanna time travel back to 1986 and put the company back in the same spot they just got out of. And I have to follow you because we’re brothers on the shop floor! I’ll do my part but I won’t like it. You guys better take the buy out next time cause the tier 2’s are organizing. The old ways gotta change.

Yeah we will but we have to stand with the membership. Just know that you’ll be fighting for something that’s not gonna happen, and you’ll be hurting families that are not as well off as yourselves. I’ll still stand and fight with you guys though.

Actually sir, I’ve been lurking on this site since the last contract. I only chose to comment once I saw the BS people were posting on this thread. I’m not a troll for anyone. Believe what you will I don’t care.
