Hadji25 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I was told that the 3 day discipline rule was removed from the contract. If it is still in the contract where is the language located at in the contract? The labor relations here are holding hearings 30 days later or longer and lumping infractions together. The reps here say they can do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madime39 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Pretty sure it would depend on the infraction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmco76 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 The company now can and will do anything they want. People wake up and see what the UAW leadership has evolved into. They are just like the political system we have in this country. They are self serving Hippocrates. If you think things are bad now just wait. Sales are softening and times are going to get tuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadji25 Posted September 4, 2016 Author Share Posted September 4, 2016 They called a Coworker in for lates and hit him with 2 at once, and one of them was over 30 days old. I thought they had to at least acknowledge the need for discipline within 3 days. I know that is the way it used to be. There has to be some limit, its not right that they can go back and enforce older infractions just so they can give more time off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzymoomoo Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 My team leader told me a story of them trying to write him up for something that had happened a month earlier and there was absolutely no possible way they could prove it was his fault This was 10 years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's so bad...there's the door. I believe fmco was referring to upholding the written language in our UAW contract with Ford. It is only fair, and IS the UAW's job to enforce that language. In the past 2-3 contracts, the UAW has NOT enforced certain aspects of the contract and letting Ford "slide" on some of the agreements they had agreed to. To quit Ford for not abiding by the contract is just ridiculous. Also, to let Ford just do what they want, especially if it goes against what was agreed to, is just being naive and spineless. During the hard times, we accepted Fords need to bypass some of the language stated in our contract for their survival. But now, it seems that we are being taken advantage of while Ford rakes in the money and the UAW leadership stands idle when certain aspects of our contract need to be questioned and/or upheld. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imdevo Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Very well-stated!!! It seems that since this last contract, Management, with HR's consent, has been allowed to harass, bully, intimidate, and discipline as they want. An overheard statement from salary was that the contractual language were only "guidelines". About time for local leaders to step up and support us hourly grunts, and IUAW to support the local leaders as well as us that create the profits. As far as looking for the door to quit, maybe somebody should have never entered the door into a UNITED WORK FORCE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever worked outside Ford Motors? 1000 times better with the UAW than without. Go work at a place where the boss tells you at the timeclock on your way out "you're working 4 more hours, leave and you're fired." Or friday at 10 minutes til end of shift and you're told Saturday and/or Sunday is being called, not showing up gets you canned and no you can't use your time to cover it. Some people have it pretty shitty, I know the difference, do you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
