flint Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 This blows my mind. All the talk of how the company is promising us new work in exchange for concessions----are we suppose to think that this NEW work is for us alone??? New work is how a company survives--Ford needs this and any new work to survive period! Whether concessions pass or not, there will be new work-there has to be-they want it, and we want it.

You are right. But I believe the UAW is trying to keep the work in North America. Edited October 23, 2009 by CAPlineWORKER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiredMotorCompany Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 (edited) If this doesn't pass, we keep the March 2009 and November 2007 Agreement. Promises of new work are so vague and can be discarded by the company simply be citing economic reasons, that the promises mean nothing. Vote your conscience on limiting strikes but not not for new work promises. Edited October 23, 2009 by FiredMotorCompany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently there's at least 51% of the membership that is too ignorant to understand that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
