uawsoldusout Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 We just went to the AWS(all will suffer)at Sharonville. We were informed there would be no lunch break. 12 hours= no lunch. Is this the case at other plants(US)? Our Union reps are telling us that there is "no language" in the contract for lunch break. At Sharonville, the company does whatever they want. The Union says: "they can do that!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I believe you are entitled to a meal break by state law. This is a real health issue especially if you are diabetic and need frequent meals. The IUAW should be involved and stop this nonsense!

The Union says: "they can do that!" As long as the membership can be bullied and/or bought, the membership will continue to get contracts like the ALL WILL SUFFER. Wasn`t Sharonville one of the locals to be overwelmed by the great speeches given by our IUAW Rep`s? Remember the "Ford could go bankrupt" or "SIX THOUSAND DOLLAR Ford was just going to give us".... welcome to the word of real business. The labor at Sharonville, along with all the other plants, has been sold to Ford at bargain basement prices.... not exactly Prom Queen prices..... Makes the 6K sound real good now. Those TWO family (FMLA) day`s over the life of the contract will help give the membership some much needed additional paid time off. HEY, thats like 32 paid lunchs over FOUR YEARS...... :shades: Oh well, it is what it is.... by law they (IUAW) did their job. We got what we got, because WE had a majority of members that said its a great contract. Now its a done deal, feel like a Prom Queen yet? By the way there are laws that do call for a "rest period" some time in the work schedule. Contract Reality.... the Awakening as some lawyer`s would put it. Sharonville, welcome to the awakening and realization of your next three years working the same corner, along with all the other Prom Queens. :banmolest: Decker 1 of the 1788 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X NAP MILLWRIGHT Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Always nice to here from a union state that elects republicans lmao The membership voted this contract in; no one else. The signing bonus has proven that almost any contract will be accepted. Ford knows that all they have to do is throw out a little cash. Wait until next time. When they show 2nd tier workers some real money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-150 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 That's just dumb. There isn't a productivity study out there that supports working without breaks. Tired workers equals less productivity and lower work quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uawsoldusout Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) There is nothing wrong with voting NO! Try it. You might like it? If you don't like the contract...... vote NO! p.s. If you don't like Obama, vote him out? Don't let Bob King or your local union reps. tell you who to vote for! Your dignity is worth something!

Whatever Rep has told you that you dont get a lunch break is wrong (if one did indeed tell you that) and should read the national agreement about breaks.

ReDemption Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I have no idea why your Local Representatives would tell you that lunch period is not in the current National Contract, it is. Do yourself a favor and contact your IUAW Servicing Rep and let them know who told you that. Lunch periods: Volume 1, Article 10, Section 6 – page 139. Also Volume 4 – page 455 speaks to Lunch and Relief Practices. As for those of you that think the “law” states that you must receive breaks and lunch. You’re correct it does, but only for minors not adults. Here’s some food for thought concerning the “law” about breaks and lunch. Michigan Lunch and Break Laws Breaks for Adults Michigan law does not give adults a guaranteed break or lunch. Employers are free to schedule employees to work without any type of break. However, most companies do recognize that this can lead to fatigue and mistakes, so they offer some types of break after employees have worked for five consecutive hours. All Michigan companies must also adhere to federal rest and lunch break standards Federal Rules The federal rules on rest and meal breaks apply in any state, such as Michigan, that does not have separate labor laws regarding meal breaks. These rules are contained within the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The FLSA does not require employers to give their employees rest breaks or meal breaks, but it does regulate how employees are paid for any breaks they are given. There are also additional federal laws regulating working hours of people in certain types of work, such as air traffic controllers and pilots. Pay and Breaks Michigan law conforms to the FLSA rules in regulating how employees are paid for lunch and break time. Both Michigan law and the FLSA rules require that short breaks, of around 20 minutes or less, be treated as working time. This means that short breaks are counted as part of an employee's normal working hours and money cannot be deducted from an employee's pay for these breaks. Michigan law and the FLSA rules allow employers to treat longer breaks as non-working time, but in order to avoid paying compensation for a longer break, the employee must be relieved of all their normal work duties and cannot be available for work. Hope this helps with your concern with Lunch Periods.

ReDemption Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) That’s funny Spine, General I can’t find any post on “page one” that states Michigan law concerning breaks and lunch. I do however see this “By the way there are laws that do call for a "rest period" some time in the work schedule” Also, I don’t see either of you speaking of Volume 4 with the concern to breaks and lunch, only volume 1. So please explain what you mean by “welcome to page 1” oh and the LOL, yea for sure LOL.
