nmsford Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 The reason our situation right now is so messed up is we have had almost 50 apprentices already approved and ready to go with a start date of August 17'th. Now all of a sudden IUAW steps in an says everything is on hold, nobody is starting their apprentiships. All because of one certain employee who for one reason or another didn't make the cut with this group. So this one person must have a family member/friend at international to have all the rest of the apprentices help up because of them. You tell me how the hell the UAW says they're there to help us yet they're fucking over almost 50 employees just to hook up one of their own????

Why not contact the UAW-Ford National Program Center that handles the Apprenticeship Program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooltime Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 They are who put the hold on all the apprentices Did you call the national program center and ask for an explanation? There must be someone there to answer your concern and has responsibility for the apprentices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptObvious Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 They are who put the hold on all the apprentices i know for a FACT that this is NOT true. now it might be your plant, but not company wide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmsford Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 i know for a FACT that this is NOT true. now it might be your plant, but not company wide You're right. It's not company wide, I never said that. It's Sterling and Van dyke. Those two plants have a combined apprentiship program, one list for both plants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmsford Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 so its a local issue ????? NO!! Sterling and Van Dyke both had a big group of apprentices ready to start August 17'th. All of a sudden international tells our locals that everything is on hold, nobody is starting until they say so. Apparently someone didn't get the apprentiship for some reason and because of this one person IUAW is holding up almost 50 others from starting their apprentiships.

jumpercable Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 You guys are dingalings why would the union keep Ford from putting on apprentices. They would get a extra $30 a month in union dues per person God knows that they need the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't give a shit what you think but IT IS THE IUAW holding up all the apprentices at our two plants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
