diecaster Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Would you people please get off of 892, they are trying harder than you could imagine. If you work at Saline then you understand that management is not the top notch talent that was once availible. Things are different at Saline because of management not the union. I think we can all agree that Big Pete made deals that have affected everyone in one way or another and the cleaning up continues. Now I hear that Pete is already campaigning for chair again, some people just do not learn. If you are on here bitching about 892 ask yourself what you are doing to help the cause. When you see management working on the line are you popping them? When you see management being disrespectful to others are you speaking up? The union is shit if we don't stick together and from what I see on this site we are divided and it is a wet dream for management. Elections will come soon if you think that is the way to change things, but until then let's stick with the union and help change things rather than sitting online in our underwear bitching about things that cannot be changed without unity. If we are not united we are divided and if management reads this site then they know that they have us where they want us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We blame everything on the union for not representing us and a vote never changes anything. I have been around for many years and understand that showing support for our union as well as each other will gain us respect again. Years ago we would fight side by side with our union. Now we just complain, turn our backs and make the union reps stand alone so the Supervisor wont retaliate on us by holding AWOLs, early leaves, extended lunches, vacation requests, personal business, overtime bypassing, over our heads. Its pathetic, no one shows up for political marches, no one goes to union meetings, no one volunteers at the local anymore We are so disconnected from supporting our union which the union is all of us. The company loves it. Keep slamming the UAW the company wins. Well said diecaster. Im sure you remember the solidarity we had in the 70s and 80s. I dont think these kids will ever "get it" Edited September 18, 2010 by louie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think these kids will ever "get it" You don't even work at Saline so how the hell do you know what's going on you stupid idiot. Don't sit there and speak your mind to others you don't know and then come back and say shit at me when I do it. I used to work there and I can tell you people do go to union meetings and at least the president walks around the plant every now and again to see people and say hi. Which is better then what they "DON'T do" at DTP!. Saline is a good plant, management doesn't mess with anyone, accept for the likes of Donavan the (gay) but I think he was replaced by John Hurley from SRP so he might be gone. From management down to the HR office nothing but nice people I have to admit compared to people at DTP and other plants I worked at. Look at Saline's absenteeism rate is even lower then other plants. People ask for time off and supervisors help them!. They had many extra workers when I was there and all our supervisors were nice. They would even hang out with us on the line and BS about stuff outside the plant. We always allowed them to eat with us when we had line parties cause they treated us with respect and left us alone. I would cut Louie's arm off to go back!. Louie you don't know Dic* about Saline so STFU. Edited September 20, 2010 by dtpbody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't go to any strip clubs unless my best friend comes to town, then we go. I'm very selective on who I hang out with especially with Ford people. However you might catch me on any given Friday night up at the BullFrog in Redford. If I venture up there, I normally hang out at the bar with Kelly if she's working. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWR0MaNUEKw&feature=player_embedded Edited September 22, 2010 by dtpbody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dtpbody Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 (edited) I dont think a petition will save these parts plants from sale or a two tier wage system..but I applaud your passion for the subject It may not change anything especially with the 2 tier wage system because however way we like it, the UAW will do anything to save their jobs, and if it's by making deals to cut hourly wages they will do it, as far as going back to blue ovals, if you can get 51 percent of the membership in a parts plant like ACH to place their name on that paper, it sends a message to the president level and believe me it will get to the top. ACH is nothing but a write off, an LLC is a "Limited Liability Company" this is a tactic that many companies use to build cash liquidity however most companies do it and move out of the country. Our jobs are going there eventually so buckle up. Please listen to this video btw we are headed for problems!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gp0GULbgLuI I seriously think I'm going to change my party to Republican next time around unless Hillary runs.
