This is a sure sign that people are going to be made to transfer out of Saline to a Ford facility.

Seniority? You don't say that he was/is a bad bargaining rep. Your main beef is his seniority? Tell me, in your opinion, how much seniority should you have before you are put on staff? If you think seniority should be the only determining factor, you are an idiot. Or rather, a jealous idiot.... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy 2007 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 So what they took Bill Eddy down there 5 or 6 years ago and he only has 1998 or 1999 senority. Brandon is one of the best reps in Saline in years. Maybe he will do some good down there give him a chance. One thing for sure at least Brandon did his job as far as i'm concerned when he was in Saline. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You most certainly don't know Brandon. Everyone in Saline (Orange, Light and Dark Blue) who know him and has delt with him knows, That he is a man of his word, He does not bullshit. He is out going and trustworthy. Wasn't affraid to tell you the answer you did not want to hear, He dedicated his life to the UAW and membership from the very start of his employment here. I don't care if he had 1967 seniority, I don't care if he had 2006. That guy has earned it. He is a force to be reckoned with and International knows it. I am more then happy to have a guy with such dedication and heart go downtown. Thank you Brandon Keatts for being such a stand up guy. I know you will have nothing but the membership in mind while doing your new duties. WILDO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would always go to Brandon for clarifications and the truth. Sour grapes among some haters, namely the op?? Those elected jobs are a 24 hour 7 day commitment. Seems to me the international got a good rep. I would rather see a young dedicated, enthusiastic fighter at the international level than a 40 year seniority wore out old dog. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too mention he will more than likely be taking a pay cut considering that it now takes 6 years to get full entry level IUAW rep pay, as voted on at last years Con Con.

duanesz Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Yep we need some younger blood downtown for sure. If they keep getting these old dogs down there we will keep getting the same old crap. I only dealt with Brandon one time and he took care of my issue in one day that the other guys could not do in weeks. Im sure it helps to have his dad downtown but if you could use the advantage you would. We all knew someone to get a job at ford. :shades: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard Driver Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 The union has too many crooked people at the top. Favoritism is one thing the union was organized to fight....guess only certain cases.

duanesz Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Yes too many are getting free rides downtown.. The UAW slots these people in so they can go on vegas trips and outings, then they call it union business and they get paid what a guy on the line working 12 hours a day would get paid. That is a part of their contract with the company. Any union member downtown makes about 75-80k a year, while the rest of us are just working 4 days 10hrs a day at a dead end job paying us 32 a year. If this doesn't at least make you wanna start a business (online or whatever) what would? lol 32 a year? 28 bucks an hour X 2040 hours a year that's $57,120 you must take alot of time off work.

Stamping Grunt Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Take taxes out of that and it's 32-34.. Most people don't work every single work day of the year. You also have unemployment weeks as well to equate into that number. People's lives don't revolve around Ford 24/7 365.. I know mind didn't unless your 65 years old working in some repair hole, or a utility dude or electrician that does no work at all and can't stand his/her family and doesn't wanna be home.. Then you make 49 a year. lol your math doesnt add up well, you get a good portion of your money back at tax time . you must not be claiming correctly to meet your needs. claim 0 they take the max out of your check, give you hefty refund. claim a 3 and they give you most money in check , little or no refund at tax time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTP Nick Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Everyone's lives are different. You take a 22 year old hot girl (2 tier) worker, and put her up against a 45 year old man (2 tier) worker, and I bet the guy gets paid more then the girl, because she doesn't work every day. That is my point. When your at dtp, no you don't wanna work every day, when I was at saline and we were always on 10 hours 5/6 days, I worked it. It depends on the place you work, and your lifestyle. Not everyone is pulling in 50k a year, I don't know anyone at ford that brings home 50k a year. Maybe back when Bill Clinton was pres we did.. That 14 years ago. We have lost a lot of money through the last 15 years at ford. If we dont get it back fool us once shame on you, fool us twice shame on all of us! I made 68,000 last year working Ccrew with midnight premium and minimal overtime....What planet do you live on Chuck? I f i was off being a sissy like you on medical every other week cuz im bi polar like you then ya id make 50k or 32k like you do...broke dick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
