Decker Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) Opioid Addiction To Be On UAW’s Agenda For Auto Contract Negotiations “Our family, friends and co-workers injured on the job or in athletics or even a household accident find themselves in the grip of opioid addiction” — Rory Gamble, UAW Vice President Really.... Opioid Addiction? Rory, your concern for family, friends and co-works is touching. But what about the addiction the IUAW has helped pump in the companies veins? You know Rory, that high that the CEO`s get every time they snort some of that cheap labor they get from their suppliers? Or that rush the CEO`s get when their suppliers delivered the no benefits, no retirement and no way to ever earn full pay.... meth.... that their suppliers cooked up. Who knows maybe Rory and the new IUAW negotiators can get something in the talks that resemble equal work for equal pay or heath care insurance equal for all members?

fuzzymoomoo Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Do you fall into the same saber rattling trap every 4 years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decker Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 Saber Rattling? Nope haven`t fell for that or the scare tactic`s that the VP brought to the membership the last 3 contracts when I and members from CAP voted down the contracts. Seeing releases like this by an IUAW VP and the releases that the company is doing the investments at Flat Rock and at other facilities will bring to mind that history will repeat itself. We will likely see and hear of products for all, addiction treatment for all and all will be so overwhelmed that all will vote for more tiers and less benefits and of course be thankful for even having a job. I`m all for a signing bonus and part of next years profit sharing all rolled into a "yes" vote. (just being a smart ass Fuzzy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzymoomoo Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I was going to say, for someone not falling into the trap you’re awfully worked up about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmooret Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Decker, does CAP have voting machines or ballot boxes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decker Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 Voting Machines, thank G-d we don`t have voting buckets that get walked up and down the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSPF150 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 The vote will all come down to what happens at local 600, the IUAW will see if it’s going their way (not what’s best for the membership but for the ruling class) and adjust accordingly. Moving the date of the vote to be the last local to vote errr drop your little piece of paper in the coffee can and voila we have a winner by a 50.1% to 49.9%. It’s amazing how it works that way when not one person that you talk too voted in favor of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmooret Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Decker, at LAP and KTP we have voting machines. We usually vote first (go figure) and our plants always vote down the contracts too. At first I thought this was a good gauge of how the rest of the plants would vote but I've learned that isn't t so. Then I learned about the "ballot buckets". So my plant and your plant with voting machines voted down the contracts yet it passes in plants that have "ballot buckets". Perhaps the FBI can get these guys for voter fraud too.

fuzzymoomoo Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Pretty sure MAP has machines too. I don't know for sure, I was at Flat Rock for the last contract and I'm not convinced my vote was counted because I had a "contested ballot" because of the situation I was in.

CindyC Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 MAP never had machines while I was there. Left last year for Livonia Trans don't know what they have guess I'll find out this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmooret Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 So did MAP vote yes or no on the last contract? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overwhelmingly yes (I think above 90%) because we were losing the focus and it guaranteed new work for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep that is how it works, they send Jimmy (now Rory) to put the fear of losing products to CAP and then send whoever to MAP, FRAP and etc to promise product. But all the bullshit yelling and lying doesn't work out to the bull shiters favor when you vote with a machine that another company over sees. The FBI is busy.... now the extortion is being looked into when the IUAW squeezes the appointed Rep`s for the Flower Fund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decker Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) After all the promises, how many weeks of TLO have the locals that bucket vote seen in the last 4 years? I just got my next Focus, 2018 SEL. Thank you for a great unit MAP. Edited March 25, 2019 by Decker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decker Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) Dam.... the left side door panels are at a state of such high quality I thought I was in a Lincoln. Thank you Fuzzy Still can`t figure out why someone left that extra speaker, still in the box, back in the trunk? Still don`t like the idea this will be my last Ford Sedan.....
