hotcarl Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) Would be interested to know which ones?? Off the top of my head, Louisville Assembly. They are nearly completely retooled. How can you count that as a gain in the proposed new contract? Edited October 5, 2011 by hotcarl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me, and a handful of my fellow construction tradesmen were laid off about a month ago for lack of work... No new product announced, I don't know if this is money already spent, and I don't see what it would be spent on without something NEW coming in?

FiredMotorCompany Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 The October mods reconfirmed prior commitments and new product to the following assembly plants OHAP KCAP MAP LAP CAP More to the point, the OctoMods failed so new commitments are moot. But those plants listed were offered "Re-Re-Commitments" for product. THOSE commitments not fulfilled by September 2011 are essentially failed for being unfulfilled and should have been grieved if the union had done it's job. But they wanted to avoid rocking the boat before the 2011 negotiations. Promising to give us the same thing in this new contract is deceitful. And it is NOT NEW WORK.
