Listen, the UAW Leadership has gotten PUBLICLY kicked in the ass multiple times. I am calling out Rory and Gerald for a "gut" check! Do you realize what your legacy and contribution to the UAW is going to be? I only reference this because I know both of these brothers and the only thing bigger than their willingness to say "yes" to the company is their egos. You both have taken a slap to your membership's face and yet your only response is to say thank you sir may I have another. You have become physically incapable of assembling any type of UNION response to Ford not willing to hold up their half of the agreement.. How many times do they have to punk you out before you man up and take action? For example, lets go back in history shall we..... Bob King's contribution to the current history - Promise of the new Fusion going to Atlanta - outcome - CLOSED, Bob King's demand that all Local's file an "Equity of Sacrifice" grievance due to Ford not willing to make the Membership whole from all the concessions in 2008 - outcome - Arbitrator's scathing report that the UAW should have gotten that in writing - no adjustment to the membership but Ford Management got raises on the backs of the membership's concessions, 2015 Agreement - UAW/GM had a moratorium on Plant Closures during the entire life of the agreement - outcome - Lordstown Plant closed 6 months before the end of that agreement - UAWs response - file a lawsuit and postpone a decision instead of taking action themselves, Now here we come to the 2019 UAW/Ford Contract - FRAP to maintain Mustang and ALL derivatives - outcome - Mexico gets the Mustang Mach E - UAW's response - NOTHING, OHAP - 3 weeks ago Savona said in a Q&A that OHAP won't be getting a $900 Million investment and almost doubling their plant hourly population - UAW's response - a letter from Gerald to the membership, THEN just a couple days ago this same UAW Leadership goes and GRANTS Ford a FAVOR by extending the April 1st deadline for summer shutdown! So Rory and Gerald - I know your handlers aka - Administrative Assistants - monitor this site and many others - So, maybe you can answer the question of when did you lose your ability to stand up to the Company? Why haven't you taken all the facilities to D-1 status. If you don't know what that is it includes the settlement that came out a fight in Kansas City decades ago over Work Standards - known as the 7-23 agreement and ask each plant for outstanding/unresolved Safety issues. Then we strike! Listen, I realize what a Strike means to our membership and the hard times that presents to our families. BUT, we have to FIGHT for our FUTURE! We cannot allow the company to continue to walk away from NEGOTIATED elements of the agreement without Serious consequences. Why is it that there is NOT ANY ramifications to the Companies when they VIOLATE the agreement even in the MOST abusive way possible? Rory, Gerald - the Membership is waiting. Don't wait too long as the Membership's Vote on whether or not to change the UAW Constitution for the direct election of you is coming!!!!! If we do change the way we select you - what will your Campaign Letter look like? 600 is watching. God Bless our membership and I am ready to fight for my Brothers and Sisters everywhere but especially for OHAP and FRAP. If you Locally Strike, I will be down with my friends supporting you. I have to say, I appreciate Chairman Kotalis' response to the International UAW's decision to extend the April 1st shutdown deadline. Thank you Nick. I know you know about how the International rolls over.

If someone violates the 6 foot rule, is that a near m8ss?

Who pays us lost time? If you answer any of those questions "yes". Someone has to make us whole. Question: If someone gets closer than 6 feet to me, is that considered a near miss?

I guess you guys down in Ohio don't care too much that a guy running for bargaining is a past jail bird. Hey, maybe he can be promoted to the Intl - he has the experience! Wake up Ohio before you get a Rep like we have!

Whelp Brothers and Sisters...getting ready to go back to work...my friends on the door line - make sure you smile pretty for those cameras. Great job Berkie! "Ass-hat"

Heard from one of my friends in OHAP a guy running is named Jay Dog not Big Dog.... just sayin'. TD said he confirmed the info.

Is there someone named BigDog running?

He has been kissing a mile of ass. Heard from one of his boys that Rory's AA had to help him write the Corona virus grievance. What a joke... BYE,BYE BURKIE!

I thought we saw him yesterday. There was 7 people coming from lunch that didnt even know what he looked like. I will be voting for someone else this time! Bye, bye Burkie will be my chant!

Not sure what you mean.? I would think anyone that runs in a bargain spot would have xp.

So Cal50. Do you work down there? If so, who is the one that is a ex-convict?

LMAO....4 sure....He should be brought up to the INTERNATIONAL.

LMAO....4 sure....He should be brought up to the INTERNATIONAL.

Heard one of them has a record. That's what we need right now at one of our Locals!?

Who is running for the SPECIAL Bargaining position at OHAP?
