Update
Well, it’s another year toward retirement, another year of constant battles with management and another year of blatant contract violations. The more things change the more things stay the same. We just finished talking with the company about vacation liability. Apparently we don’t need summer months off with our families, so the company is not willing to open up bubble weeks in June, July, and August this year. Now we will get to hear in all of our meetings about how high absenteeism is this summer. We are still fighting every day to get our laid off members back to work. This is an everyday fight. The company is forcing people to work out of their classifications, especially in classifications where our members are on layoff from. We have several grievances on this. The company is still turning their nose at our contract. They are slowly trying to divide us. It is ALL of our jobs to police the contract. If you see something wrong, please contact your Union Representative. DON’T refuse to do a job, let us handle the issue. Brothers and Sisters we need now more than ever to stand in Solidarity. The company is starting to install cameras in the plant. They are stating it’s for “quality”. From what we have seen on the monitors the only thing they can check for “quality” is the back sides of the employee. So I ask you this, what do YOU think they are monitoring? I would like to end by saying great job this year on all your hard work, dedication, and endless hours of improvement on OUR safety and on OUR 8+% performance pay. It’s tough to be a good, hard worker when management is constantly beating us down. But WE overcome. God bless you and your families this Holiday season. Good food, Good times, Good laughs
In solidarity, Mark Mohn Forge Plant Chair, UAW Local 1050
