constitutional convention

[Pulse]

Hope you and pulse are spayed and neutered the world has enough of you IDIOTS in it already. So STFU IDIOTS..........No one cares what you think.

 

Please direct pigfish to its own thread that I created for it. It can argue with it's self all day long... :banvictory: :banvictory: :banvictory:

[swhoosier]

This is a well structured resolution but you are confused in the proper forum to submit the resolution.

 

The convention is for specific changes and policies to the UAW constitution.

 

Your resolution is UAW-Ford specific and should be submitted during open resolution period defined by your local. This time period would be in the fall before negotiations which would be this year. Contact your local and find out when resolutions to the UAW ford contract will be accepted.

 

Hope this helps.

 

 

Looking for some assistance to get the following Resolution submitted for the Constitutional Convention so at least the Delegates can toss it around and see if this direction is the way they would like to see OUR UNION operate by:

 

RESOLUTION ON ARTICLE 19 SECTION 4

 

 

Whereas: Article 19 Section 4 provides for ratification of all national agreements and supplements thereof;

 

Whereas: Modern Operating Agreements that permit changes to the Contract without the consent and ratification of the membership violates the letter, spirit, and intent of Article 19 Section 4;

 

Whereas: Altering the Contract without the consent of the governed betrays trust and thereby undermines Solidarity;

 

Whereas: Superseding the authority of the membership is inherently antidemocratic;

 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: The International UAW must obtain approval of the UAW membership by vote before they can open the Contract for any changes.

 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: That the International UAW abides by the letter, spirit, and intent of Article 19 Section 4;

 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: That the Constitutional Committee presents this proposal to the assembly of delegates at the 33rd Constitutional Convention for their consideration and debate.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Submitted by UAW Local ____________ Read at the Membership Meeting

Recording Secretary

Adopted: Yes ____ No _____

JMO...this above resolution is going to get A LOT of attention. It is what it is...God Bless the UAW.

[Spring]

We got the resolution for the referendum vote passed unanimously at our last union meeting. Remember, a resolution has only to be passed at ONE local to get it up before the committee. I'm wondering what other resolutions were passed by other locals.

Personally-motivated attacks spawned by fear will not stop or disguise the "serious shit" you speak of. The truth has a way of surfacing. And it's on its way to the top.

 

We understand why you feel threatened. Fear is one of the most basic human emotions. It is programmed into the nervous system and works like an instinct. Fear helps protect us. It makes us alert to potential dangers and prepares us to deal with it. This response is known as "fight or flight" because that is exactly what the body is preparing itself to do: fight off the danger or run fast to get away. Unfortunately, you can't fight the truth and no matter how fast you run...you can't hide from it either.

Your posts make it very apparent that you fear the truth. And you should.

 

You first allege that 'lies' were told. You now allege that the plant may be in danger because the truth IS about to be told. The truth won't put anyone in the unemployment line. The only people that have endangered our jobs or this plant with scandal are those involved in the elaborate scheme to cover the felony committed by our now terminated BC. Maybe you should've been worried about "the entire system" while you condoned the criminal behavior of an elected official and aided in propigating the lies to conceal his crime; a crime which included stealing and forging checks of fellow employees. That doesn't reflect concern towards our Union brothers and Sisters.

 

HE betrayed our Company, HE betrayed our Union and YOU support him. YOU helped conceal the felonious behavior. YOU will be responsible for what may or may not take out 'the entire system'. And in the end, everyone will know exactly who was directly involved. YOU included. It's YOUR job that's in danger...not ours. Maybe. Or maybenot. But I think so.

Finally, the denial, once laiden throughout your posts, concerning the fact that BC Pena did steal and forge payroll checks belonging to fellow employees/retirees has concluded.

 

You now appear to justify his actions by blaming others. Blame is a form of damage control. People who blame others tend to overemphasize themselves while at the same time underemphasize the negative effects of their actions. Many "blamers" have narcissistic personality disorder.

 

Narcissism is characterized by a pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration and a lack of empathy across a variety of contexts. People with this disorder have a large sense of entitlement, show overconfident or arrogant behavior and manipulate or exploit other people to achieve their own needs. They are prone to rages when things do not go their way. These behaviours take their mind off their inherent limitations, inevitable failures, painful & much-feared rejections, and the Grandiosity Gap--the abyss between the image they project and the injurious truth. They have unrealistic expectations and inflated self-image, along with their incommensurate achievements, position, status, recognition, intelligence, wealth, and physique.

 

FYI: Narcissism and alcoholism may share some behaviour traits, and they often piggyback one another.

the union needs to sit down with the company and tell them to give us our 4% performance bonus back retroactively back to Oct 2009 and give our XMAS bonus of $600 by july 2010.

and if they wont then make it clear we will demand them back retroactively for 2 years next oct 2011 or we will seek a 3% raise each yr of the next 4 yr contract..if they give us our 4% bonus back by this july and in oct 2010...in exchange we will seek a 1% raise and a 3% performance bonus next 4 yrs..

either way we will be holding all the cards next yr.....

You support what was the Pena caucus? I don't think your caucus was thinking about anyone while the BC Pena was stealing and forging union brothers & sisters checks. They weren't thinking of their members while he was depositing their hard earned money in his checking account. They weren't thinking of the membership when they hid his crime. They weren't thinking of their fellow employees when they managed to squeeze a $70,000 buy-off out of the company. Was all of this done in the name of protecting the plant? To prevent a black-eye on the company? I don't think so. It's because they "don't give a flying shit about anyone, let alone a plant full of UAW members. It's all about their caucus."

 

And who is this "everyone" you speak of? If it's the vote (or lack there of) that you managed to pull last week...than that would be less than 200 people. Considering UAW Local 2000 represents 2, 050 hourly employees and 675 retirees of Ford's Ohio Assembly Plant located in Avon Lake, Ohio...those aren't bragging numbers.

What the phuck does that have to do with the convention? I signed a grievance that said the company violated the modifications, that grievance is still in the system. The convention will have nothing to do with a grievance that is currently active!

 

I do agree that in 2011 the company better put their hand that is out looking for givebacks up their asses because it will be time to pay the piper beeeaaaatches! I think that Ford is that arogant that they will still have their hand out and we will STRIKE their asses!! Start saving my friends, it may be a month or so till they realize they aren't as bad off as the other 2 companies. Booo Hooo they didn't take the Gov bail out money, who gives a ,you have gained market share from the other 2 companies for not taking the money. It is you, Ford exec's, that say once you get someone into a Ford they will buy it. Well not taking the bail out money, because of the concession we gave your asses, got people into your vehicles. You show your appreciation by giving bonuses and Tuition assistance back to the salaried phucks. We will get you back for your dumbass moves in 2011. You should be paying down the debt, that way we can ALL benefit in the future, but no you want to use the debt as leverage against us middle class workers! Phuck you I say, there will be no Bail Out in 2011 so get your asses ready!

Free vacation? What has been free in the last 5 years? They have been negotiating 6 different times in 5 years, in order to save our jobs! Nothing is perfect, but I have a job right now. I have a couple of family members that work for GM and Chrysler that are not so fortunate right now. I have one of them living with me and his 3 little kids. I am thankful for the UAW and there are a lot of others on this site that should be also. Vacation, what a thankless dumbass!

I think that all of the delegates have been elected. It would be nice to get a list of each local's delegates. I'm also interested to see who will be on the Resolutions Committee.
