Pulse

...and the shit storm has begun...

Be ready for him to hit you with a barrage of nasty PM's

The knuckle head sent me a PM... I know...let's have background checks to get on here! LOL! BYE CHUCKIE!!!

BAN HIS DUMB AZZ!

Pulse, on 08 Mar 2013 - 09:31, said: No because not everyone works 1850 hours. Some work more some work less. Pulse did you read Settles letter, second paragraph Max 1850 hours ? You must need some extra "splainin'" ...isn't that what I said in a nut shell? Must be a tradesman...LOL!

What were the overall numbers. Did production pass it by a margin great enough to surpass the trades numbers? Usually a local is based on total population even though the vote is separate.

No because not everyone works 1850 hours. Some work more some work less.

They can't force a contract...but if neither Party sends a letter to terminate...is is automatically renewed. BYE BYE RTW

Don't be surprised if this contract is extended to spoil the RTW'ers...LOL!!! :banvictory: :reading:

Furious is spot on...although he may not receive said pension until retirement age eligible...he is still correct no matter if he only had 5 years vested. Now him and I have had many spirited discussions and have had to agree to disagree...but I'm with him on this one! ...carry on...as you were...LOLOLOLOL!

Nice to know! Thanks...good luck...you probably won't be able to keep up with demand. Hopefully folk's hold out for the American made model.

I love it! Can we assume it will be built on the Escape platform?

Every action gets a reaction. Do you deny that you would have ran out of sub and TAP if you weren't working production? I know of TWO tradesmen that chose that route and believe me...they regretted it. Are you now NOT back to your tools? Nobody liked the mess we were thrown in...but if it had not been for the negotiating skills of the UAW it would have sucked even more. I hear and feel the anger everyday my friend, all I can do is try to point out the positives and potential disasters that were averted. It is up to the member to choose to appreciate whether or not the situation worked out best for them or not. How in the world you were denied an ILO is beyond me. I wish you the best and hopefully this situation will continue to improve...but with RTW in our faces now...I'm not so sure. Merry Christmas...I'm truly glad you got back to your tools.

It's been a long time since we got a wage increase...I'll give you that. But we did regain some of the concessions we had given in this last contract. Cola was a wash...it was ZERO when we let it go to help keep the company out of the bail-out mess; which by the way was the worst economic times since the great depression. Thanks to your buddy BUSH who squandered billions in surplus on a war he started to make his daddy proud. When you refer to doing something for the working person...are you referring to allowing you to work production instead of being laid off; or are you referring to getting you back to your tools? You have become an angry man Jerrymaker...and personally I think you are being ungrateful. You would have run out of sub pay and TAP if you didn't work production. NO other union besides the UAW would have been able to pull that off for YOU. I suggest you re-examine your position and adjust your attitude. You could even have taken the $50,000 and stayed on production. Hell...you could have taken the $100,000 and carried your whiny ass to a non-union shop for all that matters. Oh wait...non-union shops aren't hiring.

Well...the question will soon be answered!!!

Yeah...I was reading local poll numbers...my bad...

Ditto!!! :salute:

:blah: :hysterical3: :dry: Please see Mr. Hughes reply one more time! :busted:

Thank you sir...That is EXACTLY what I meant...couldn't have written the rebuttal any better myself! I believe Cal may have pre-ejaculated out of his mouth based on his reputard slanted views. He must not care that the previously controlled GOP bench sided with the corporations and insurance companies 100% of the time...never for the little guy or working class. Do you suppose that's why they are out on their asses as we speak? At least they will have cool judge costumes next year for Halloween! :banvictory: LOL!

The only hope we have now is because we swept the Supreme Court and elected our candidates. Maybe we can challenge some of these things coming out of the POSGOP shit pipe with them...God I hope so!

...and should be compensated for their "superiority"! Which leads back to my point that I think they would suffer under Romney's plan to dispose of Davis Bacon. Production would surely follow...then you have people REALLY pissed off. If they were mad at this last contract...how do you think they will feel if the Romney plan goes through?

Ya know brother...I've read your post one time too many...but you still have the opportunity to save the sanctity of your good name.

They are non too happy...but they need to organize...you know me better than that ski.

This is what gets things off topic. But...if memory serves me correctly...President Obama is leading this country through the worst economic times since the Great Depression. Ford would NOT exist as we know it...if AT ALL...if GM & Chrysler had been liquidated like suggested. That's what this topic is about...the survival of Ford as we know it.

Seriously? Davis/Bacon is what keeps the relevant pay at a living wage...you let your boy Romney take it away and see how fast everyone's wages in the United States drops you fool...including ours. That's one of the reasons I put this out there...if wages drop at a Federal level...you'll see more than "trickle down" economics at Ford Motor Company next negotiation cycle...I guarantee THAT! And all RTW would do for FoMoCo is divide the membership, bankrupt the locals, and cause chaos on the floor. Production would be affected in a negative fashion without a doubt. The company might even need to have increased security on the premises... If you've spent ANY time on a production floor you'd know tempers flare for the most minute reasons...let some lazy fuque that opts out of his dues be partnered up with a go-getter union activist on a smokin' hot day in the summer and imagine the potential outcome.
