Shenanigans at OHAP!

[Spring]

It would appear that our local union chairman is in collusion with the company! With this new FPS group leader program, the chairman is using it as a thinly veiled means to eliminate any competition he might have. Disagree with the chairman, declare you're running for a union position against him and you will be removed from your job! You cannot receive double penalty (double jeopardy) under the law but you will get a double penalty under Tim Rowe's administration! Yet the vast majority of elected and appointed reps are getting group leader pay and very few, if any of them, could actually do the job! They're knowingly engaging in disparate treatment which is prohibited under the contract! They're changing the contract language but refusing to let us vote on it! And if you call the Region or National Ford department, they tell you "to go through the chairman". Seriously? I guess that's what the NLRB and Department of Labor, Office of Inspector General (Labor Racketeering office) is for! These buffoons had better remember that retaliation is still against the law!

Collusion is an agreement between two or more parties, sometimes illegal and therefore secretive, to limit open competition by deceiving, misleading, or defrauding others of their legal rights, or to obtain an objective forbidden by law typically by defrauding or gaining an unfair advantage.

This is the new group leader language:

OHIO ASSEMBLY PLANT

Team Leader Selection and Interview Process

As part of the FPS initiative, a standard Team Leader selection and interview process
for new Team Leaders has been created jointly by the National Parties. This selection
process was developed to ensure:

· A common process is used to interview and evaluate all candidates

· Evaluation criteria are consistent and based on skills and competencies that
would be required on the position

· Team Leaders selected for the position will have the opportunity to grow their
skills and contribute positively to the business

Locally, existing Team Leader candidates will also participate in a formal interview
conducted by a joint Union / Management team which should last approximately 1 hour.
The interviews begin on May 23, 2013. It is important to note, the National Parties have
agreed that you must sign the 18 Roles and Responsibilities indicating you agree to
perform standardized roles and responsibilities. Employees will have 24 hours to make
a final decision. The interview process will cover the following:

· Review Team Leader Roles and Responsibilities

· Standard Questionnaire

· Complete the IT Needs Assessment

· A score of 70% is required to retain/become a Team Leader

If there is a need for new Team Leaders, OHAP will post the standard Team Leader
Roles and Responsibilities document, including a listing of specific job requirements.
Any interested employees must sign the job bid. New Team Leader candidates will
participate in the formal interview process as well as be screened based on the
following criteria:

· Disciplinary record

· Attendance record

· Willingness to remain in the Team Leader position and workgroup for a
minimum of 12 months

All Team Leaders must formally accept or decline the position and have 24 hours after
the interview to make this decision. Those employees who have expressed an interest
in the position as outlined in the 18 Roles and Responsibilities will receive verbal
notification from a company representative of their status within 24 hours. Pay
increases will occur when the interview process is completed, team leaders are selected
and all open positions are filled.

Timmy did the same things at Lorain.

[Cardinal]

We (425 Members) voted him out.

Cardinal, I'm thinking we're experiencing a really bad case of Deja Vu!

How much more does a team leader make an hour?

Labor-Management Reporting Disclosure Act of 1959 (LMRDA)

 

Right to Copies of Collective Bargaining Agreements

(29 U.S.C. 414)

SEC. 104. It shall be the duty of the secretary or corresponding principal officer of each labor organization, in the case of a local labor organization, to forward a copy of each collective bargaining agreement made by such labor organization with any employer to any employee who requests such a copy and whose rights as such employee are directly affected by such agreement, and in the case of a labor organization other than a local labor organization, to forward a copy of any such agreement to each constituent unit which has members directly affected by such agreement; and such officer shall maintain at the principal office of the labor organization of which he is an officer copies of any such agreement made or received by such labor organization, which copies shall be available for inspection by any member or by any employee whose rights are affected by such agreement. The provisions of section 210 shall be applicable in the enforcement of this section.

We have a tentative local agreement......and only the highlights are going to be published and available in the plant at this time.....Why? What are they hiding? They don't want to give the membership the ENTIRE agreement so they can make an INFORMED decision when it comes time to vote....they want to wait until September 14 (a Saturday when we're working 10.7 and busting our butts) and go over it and have us vote IN THE PLANT on September 16th! Why?! They want to go over it so they can spin it? They don't think the membership can read it for themselves? And they don't want us to have time to go over it carefully and ask questions THEY CAN'T ANSWER! Then they want us to vote on it in the plant....nothing like a little coercion...just like last time, right?! If it's such a great agreement, PUBLISH IT! Put it on the website, give it to the group leaders or make copies available at the union hall! Let it stand on its own merits! OR NOT!

Oh I figured out who you are! lmao! Dead giveaway....just like your political career!

[cal50]

OHAP needs a product commitment and the existing building chair & the musical chairs of plant manager & body shop manager (joke) does not help the plants longevity.

 

Hopefully the upcoming elections change the course of things.

The current building chair should have been gone with Lorain.

I think you'll see an announcement about some overflow.....that's as much commitment as these guys can get.....sigh....
