Believe that guy on the line that is still scared CAP is closing or is saying the 611 has 15 weeks or it`s going to KTP or they are shipping units to FRAP or said C crew won`t come back from retooling... etc....etc...etc.

625 has "OK" to ship. RoBo calls went out last night "all three crews" are on mandatory "10.7" schedule starting 14 June. Yeppers... ididnt the C crew too. Super Saturday's & Super Sunday`s bee`s commin. Oh what about the two weeks vacation down time the first of July??? Canceled - period  

Bring the blanky and a pillow we be livin here for a while. (before c crew ends :hat_tip:)

Sorry ididnt dealer stock and all those exports (yep exports you know the units that was said we won`t be building) alone will keep us a workin till ummm 15 September then the C crew stops, 611 goes to KTP and CAP goes to one shift till 31 December when I get to turn the last light off. ;)

check your recanted robo call the re elected unit makes a lot of mistakes, only one week down time in July nothing canceled possibly extended for certain departments if they can't fix the issues in trim. Only one type of Explorer is being shipped AFTER the repairs everything else is in limbo still with the issues in trim who are the only ones working 10.7 today only. But the OT isn't anything new after july's shut down. This is the first year in 6? I haven't worked OT. Not working the OT after july shutdown would be more surprising.

stop confusing me with someone else, only thing I said is C crew isn't going to last at CAP you have no facts to back that they are but I can give you a book of reasons why they're not and a confirmation from our chairman they are coming back "as needed" which they won't be needed for long. All this other BS I don't know where you're getting it from. As far as CAP closing, that's more possible then you think especially with these tax hungry politicians. From a Ford PR stand point CAP is a shit stain on the company, always votes down contracts, over 2 decades of sexual harassment law suits, union reps acting like gang bangers at the hall partying having shoot outs then play race cards to get re elected. I don't think it'll be missed at all. It would be nice if Ford bought the plant back in Atlanta and rebuilt it.

Thanks for your enlightening views and putting everything in prospective ididnt.  Once again you are so right with your statement ididnt, Ford PR would definitely like a change of boxers but, Ford Accounting just sits back and smiles when looking at the bottom line here at CAP.

Really union rep`s acting like gang bangers at the hall...and partying? I gotta take the old scooter down to the hall and check that out :flyaway: maybe there's some biker trash partying too.

Take a few deep breathes ididnt you will be safe just don`t go by that bad end of town :stop:

they've been bringing new explorers to woodhaven stamping all week,carhauler after carhauler.

Every available spot on the south and east side is leased for storage. We have them in Indiana at the air port and casino. Got them sitting at the old parts distribution properties around the country. Teamsters are just a smiling. The decision makers wanted to use our rail yards but with all the F series units going through Chicago that was a no go.

They’re parking a bunch at the big lot in Flat Rock too.

Sterling Axle and VanDyke transmission also have them stored in blocked off parking lots. Im not sure what they are stocking up for? Maybe they are planning on a long strike?

 

Hourly workers at parts plants should get ready just in case.I have never seen it so quiet before a national contract.Ya know its a shame how union workers get no respect in our society.I have had Ford salary people tell me that they are glad when the UAW goes on strike because they get to just sit around and get paid plus they know that salaried employees will share in whatever gains are made.Same thing with that Volkswagen Plant that just narrowly voted down the UAW.They are benefitting from just the possibility that they could go union.In the Detroit Area trades wages are raised across the board because of competition of the Big 3.What is going on?Anybody know Bernie Rickie?Whats he saying?Local 600 rules.

Strike... not in our life time Fatso. The silence is more of a result of the last shopping spree, pay off or shhh money that the last contract had and now involving the FBI attention, I think.

I heard, they said and someone told me its all ready done... we be getting next years profit sharing check in the second week of Sept. as a signing bone us.

IUAW has inked a deal with BIG JIMMY "Settles Everything" to make the tour of the Ford locals that voted down the last two contracts, in his Hollywood style he will be taking questions for three shows a day, two on Sundays. Balloons, Champaign and dancing persons (<--- politically correct) will be contracted from IUAW Chrysler Division to support Big Jimmy`s headliner act and cooperate view point of (drum roll please).......

"!!!!You all should just be thankful you even jobs!!!!"

I'll vote yes when we get the same 33% raise they gave themselves.  Of course as long as other plants have that archaic paper ballot voting system the union will continue stuffing the box to get the contract to pass.  

And if they ever switch to electric voting you lot will claim hacking so there's no pleasing any of you. 

It is what it is

That is why an audit by a third party is necessary.Local 600 reps. walked around the plant with a plastic,old paint bucket with a slot cut in the lid.You wanna vote?After your name is checked off a list,you check YES or NO on a slip of paper and drop it in the bucket.Sound secure?Its been awfully quiet.I wonder in any FEDS be hanging around?

IUAW has again dropped the ball....

A LOSING RECORD

The UAW’s continued losses in the South are not a reflection on the workers who live there.

Those losses are the result of highly sophisticated and intense anti-union campaigns by employers, business groups, and politicians.

They are also the result of the unsophisticated, shallow organizing approach of the UAW.

Even if the union had won the election, its weak and conflict-averse organizing approach raises serious questions about whether it could have won a first contract—or a good one.

The UAW should be approaching a union drive like this as the fight of its life. It shouldn’t leave anything to chance. It should fight with the same courage and tenacity as the workers who are organizing.

As the indictments in the Chrysler corruption scandal have revealed, company executives encouraged union leaders to secretly funnel money from the jointly run training center into their own pockets. According to the Department of Justice, the company’s goal was to keep union leaders “fat, dumb and happy.”

The UAW’s long-term commitment to “labor-management partnership” is the parent of not only the festering corruption scandal, but also the union’s toothless and ineffective organizing. Both need to be washed away.

Unfortunately, none of that is likely to happen in the absence of a rank-and-file reform movement to transform the union from the bottom up.

 

Just another reason it`s so quite here in the middle of June in a contract year.... I wonder how much was paid to our "groomed" organizers for another loss.

So I`m not charged in Federal Court...…. that info was taken from a full article on a union site. I forgot the "quotes".

Yep Fuzzy the timing, the effort and the real intent of the UAW is being looked at as the loss of another wimpy attempt at representing laborers.

Lets see, you get pulled up to a regional position or know a friend or have family members in a royal position and..... bam your an organizer. You get paid too? You get paid to produce loss after loss with any accountability?  Expense accounts, travel money, food allotment and of course all the hotels paid for. Then there`s the six figures cut off the dues cake every year. To do what?

As for trying to show non members the benefits of becoming a member, how could someone try to sell the union ideology when all these organizer's know is get paid to produce these results. Over and Over.   

You think the Ford side of the table is watching these results? We will l be happy... we get what we have currently....15 Sept.

I laugh every time someone says big 3, this isn't the 90's there is no more big 3 it's more like barely 1 and a half.

not surprised UAW failed in the south, ain't no one in the south want any part of a union. Now if they renamed it a confederation of autoworkers they might of had a chance.

Like CAP C crew, UAW days are numbered
