I have been around the block and i cannot believe what we as a membership pay to allow the sh@# that happens to us at local 600. I have never been anywhere where management can treat you like a dog and get away with it like they do here. I see our elected leaders on the floor time and time again huddled up with theses bosses laughing and having a great time together. What a joke! What do we pay for ? I see labor telling the union how they are gonna do things only to have our great union tuck their tail and accept what labor tells them and helps them enforce it. This union along with company have beaten us down to the point where I think as a membership we have given up. For 15 years I have never dreaded going into work until I came here and I hear the same sediment all around me. How pathetic is it that we, dues paying members absolutely despise coming to work. weather it be overloaded jobs, loss of break time, bosses on our a@@ constantly, or our leadership caving to every demand ,we deserve better people. We have elections coming up and I don't see anybody excited about it . Everybody just sits around and says we are gonna get more of the same , nothing changes around here so what does it matter . Out with the old and in with the new in hopes something might go in our favor for a change. People we need to unite for a change and find away out of the mess we are in. We don't pay union dues only to have it used against us . We are the people paying for this despicable representation! We are the people that get mistreated by management ! We are the people that deserve respect for what we do everyday ! We are the UAW not local 600 ! So lets find a way out of the mess we are in and get back our self worth and our respect so we can forge ahead with our heads held high and more importantly be proud of being a UAW member.
Thanks for letting me vent.
