Didn't understand what you meant when I first saw your posting. Everything is run together and some words misspelled.

ok tooltime, my calculations were off.

At Ford Brookpark, no one is allowed to work 16hr days. The max is 12.

You would probably get a response if anyone knew what the hell you were talking about.

They had a party for Mullaly when they told him he got 13.8 million. They didn't make him sit around waiting and get pissed.

Sounds like you pretty much live there too. Profit sharing is figured out on your straight time hours. The most you can work is 84 hours a week. (12x7days). The factor is 3.9 per hour. At $13,400 you worked 85 per week. How is that possible? Unless you took no vacation time.

Weekly pay and profit sharing not posted. Anyone else have this problem?

llllll

Do we like the tentative agreement? no. Do we think a strike is gonna get us more? no. Do we think the Company executives are corporate swine? yes. In this day and age where there is 10% unemployment, they company has you by the balls. They have a bottomless pit of replacement workers waiting to work your job if there is a strike. In reality, it is sad to say that if you strike you may lose more than what they offered. So Cleveland did what they had to do. Your Family comes first and you need your job to take care of them.

Cleveland engine plants approve the agreement yesterday by 57%

No concessions?? What about taking away legal services in 2013. What about taking away 10 percent of our profit sharing money to fund VEBA. What about raising co-pays on prescription drugs by 3% a year. And most importantly, all that was suspended in concessions of 2009 were just that. SUSPENDED. We ratify, everything is gone.

Well, someone here has the brains to figure out what I really said. And for the other guys information, anything lost is a concession!

For your information, I am not who you think I am. I do not have the seniority to retire and work my ass off on the line. I also do not work in MI. I was trying to make a point. If you read the article it says King is bargaining a "slight increase in entry level wages". We have given up a lot. We have not had a wage increase since 2003. In the concessions we did not vote to "give up" anything. We voted to suspend COLA, Sub weeks, OT after 8hrs, etc. Suspend means "To render temporarily ineffective:" It's in the dictionary. Look it up. Also, not negotiating what the members want is bad faith bargaining. You say plants received more work because of the entry level workers, maybe in your case. Where are the Fiesta, Fusion, Edge, Transit connect, made. Ford is going to do what they want no matter what you agree to. In one of the cuts that the membership voted to suspend OT after 8 hrs. You don't need a Union for OT after 40 hrs. Its federal wage law. Suspend or render temporarily ineffective was to mean to most of the members Until they are once again profitable.They proved they are. They gave Mullaly 86mil plus all of the salaried employees back everything after a few months. Your sort of right. The way the UAW is going, we won't have a union in 10 years. So those who were offended by a simple statement I made "we have the power to vote no" screw you. I didn't say vote no. Read it. We were screwed out of 30 grand and they will screw you again. Remember the 40,000 member greivance on equity of sacrifice? I never hardly write on this sight because assholes like you. And i am sure there will be further negative remarks on my post. For those of you wanting to write one, go ahead. Consider yourself an asshole ahead of time.
