Ford workers to earn more with accounting change

January 28th (payable the first week of March every year of the agreement) will be a good day to be a UAW-Ford employee with a contract that guarantees our good wages, benefits, prescriptions, 16 paid days off per year as well as 5 weeks vacation etc, etc .

I agree that it is a good thing to have union representation. But, the majority of the good things we currently enjoy was the work of the "old" UAW, including profit sharing. If the new "UAW" truly represented the workforce, they would question the non payment of the portion of profit sharing owed to the membership due to inaccurate accounting practices going back to 2011 when the accounting problems started by inaccurately stating pension liability. The amount would be significant and was lawfully earned by the membership under the contract that was in place at that time.

Retro pay anything went back to 9/15/15 not back to 2011 so you can forget that, not being rude but you know that is ultimatey what the answer is. It should be.

 

Ford's accounting when it comes to money is kind of sad.

 

When filing out my taxes this year and last year both years they over witheld my SS tax by only 78 then 93. Still seems like numbers isn't a stong suit of their's.

Sorry...I strongly disagree. Using your reasoning, if your bank calculated your payments on a mortgage taken out 5 years ago due to incorrect accounting, do you really believe you should not be payed back or adjustments made because they are not that good at figuring out monthly payments??? Ford made an honest mistake, but that does not relieve them from contractual commitments. Their honest mistake from 2011 thru 2014 reduced our profit sharing, spelled out in legally binding contract, by a couple thousand bucks for each and every member.

I get that and that's a valid point.

 

That contract is expired though and with it being expired they have zero reason to honor it.

 

Funny how it's 1.5 bil and we were given a 1500 dollar up front payment, to me that means the UAW and Ford knew about it.

 

This is another reason I just don't give a damn when any union official tells me this or that. It's always some slickly worded bullshit nonsense.

You have got to be kidding me.........You really think that you can enter a legally binding contract with a set timetable. Then break your contractual obligations within that time limit and balk your way to the end of the contracts lifespan.........and it is OK?????? Is this Bernie Madoff?? Have you not figured out why you are in prison yet?
