Topgun Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Endorsing a candidate is one thing but union officials calling other candidates at hometrying to intimidate them into not running is another. Our plant chair has fought very hard for us and accomplished alot of good things, but as for a new vehicle for our plant. HE DIDN'T GET IT DONE. So how could someone he's endorsing get it done. We need to change course and GET IT DONE. My commiteeman publicly endorses who he was told to endorse but privately NO WAY. Don't look now but there is a F100 behind you.

youngSTAP Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 don't forget the first break of our contract was the elimination of the relief men ( when we were on 2 shifts) it was written in the contract that there would be relief men for the life of the contract (get it out and look at it) there was no referendum for this decision it was just "done"...what the hell!!! so who is running ???? i personally think Tony Gilmore would be a good choice if he is running to bad i can't vote now guys keep it cool and stay sharp on this ...its your future your voting on Brian Proudfoot is resigning his alt-committman position and running Darren Tucker is resigning his benifits rep position and running Scott Smith is resigning his Time Study position and running. Those are the 3 I know of, anyone else know the rest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stapworker Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Brian Proudfoot is resigning his alt-committman position and runningDarren Tucker is resigning his benifits rep position and running Scott Smith is resigning his Time Study position and running. Those are the 3 I know of, anyone else know the rest? Brian and Darren are both good candidates, don't know much about Scott, I have never had to deal with him.

Framer Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Barney? Tony? Tucker? for Plant Chair? Give your heads a shake, this job is no joke! We need a serious guy here not these three clowns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1520 man Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 (edited) Barney? Tony? Tucker? for Plant Chair? Give your heads a shake, this job is no joke! We need a serious guy here not these three clowns. I agree I have never seen Barney at a union meeting or have him involve with the union outside of work. Why cause, that require his own time. A chair is on call 24/7. By the way Barney has never won as a commitee man, only as an alternate. We don't want to but an alternate in for the top job. Tucker maybe, but I have had Tucker as my commitee man. Nice guy, but his famous lines were " lets not make any waves guys". This kind of attiude is not going to get my vote. I am still going with Whitey's pick "Scott" I know all these canadiates and I still think Scott is more qualified. He is young, and his goal is to have work here for the next 20 years. And he reminds me of Whitey in his younger days. Guys we need to think of our future and our familes future. Have a ggod weekend guys!

ute Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 well i gotta say i sure would not want a guy with no floor experience being my plant chair ...Scott .....Scott who ???? i worked there for 30 years never heard of him ...never seen him his low seniority and 'gift" position of time study shows me he has no "real" world floor seasoning i don't know guys i would want someone with some balls as an alternate myself i was in on a few meetings with Barny and management he handled the situation perfectly as for being "only" an alternate ..i can't speak for him but i would say why give up fps for committeeman when you can be an alternate and be on the floor 40% of the time and keep your floor job never had Darren rep me but do know him seems ok ...but i don't know him enough to make a call on him it's up to you guys i hope the bus had big wheels ( so what happened to him ???)

bodyman Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 You have no idea what you are talking about. You have elected union reps on the floor to deal with the situations on the floor, thats why they are there. The plant chair deals with things on a higher level, and Scott has been trained by the best plant chairman you can ask for, for the last 4 years. So he doesn't have to know how to deal with every situation, that is what your rep does. Do you think the plant manager hears about all the bullshit someone goes through out on the floor and why there is a stoppage in the line every time??? No he has lots of people under him to take of that, its not his job, the plant manager has a bigger responsiblity of running the whole plant. Scott will make an excellent plant chair just because of the fact he has dealt with the company for the last 4 years and has been trained by the best. If you don't like him just vote him out in 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
