Wonder the domino effect

Wonder the domino effect

Does it only effect the plants mentioned? What about the Indiana plants?

Our plant will continue business as usual…at least until they fill the pipeline up and have no where to put any of the parts they make. I’m assuming Ft Wayne and Marion will continue the same.

We're planning on working the weekend

 

[bwframe]

My best wishes to all of the INGO UAW folks!

It's a rough economy to be having financial concerns for all of us.

 

[KLB]

Was there a vote to authorize a strike or does the union have the ability to just call one?

 

[Rookie]

There was a vote with 97% for.

 

[printcraft]

If the UAW wins, will this spread to everyone? I could use a 40% raise with a 20% reduction in hours.

I’ll ask my boss if I can get in on this.

I wonder what percent of the 22,000 membership voted this time.

 

[Creedmoor]

I’ll ask my boss if I can get in on this.

If hes like my old boss, hes a dickweed.

Just heard back, he told me to eat ****.

 

[Creedmoor]

Mine just gave me a dutch oven.

Note to self, Throttle back on the McCormick's Montreal...

Membership votes to give the union strike authorization, it's on the International to actually call on the strike. Strike Authorization is almost always voted yes on by membership.

I find it highly amusing Fain is from Kokomo, I want his ****ing ass there at KTP when it's moved. The UAW seems hellbent on finally killing this town.

Aren't you talking to yourself?

 

[ditcherman]

Aren't you talking to yourself?

Same.
Got the same answer too.

 

[Leadeye]

This strike has a different feel to it, almost like it's being managed by outside forces. I've seen and been moved around by UAW strikes for various reasons my entire working career, it's just like the weather, it changes and you adjust. Somehow this seems different.

 

[Hawkeye]

I think a 40% pay increase over the next 4 years and a 32 hour work week is definitely asking for the moon.

Yeah. Going from a 40 - 32 hour week at the same pay is a ~20% increase right there. Then add 40% on top of it? Wow!

 

[Creedmoor]

Same.
Got the same answer too.

Hey, I don't hear the trencher diesel going bong bong bong at 2,000 rpm's
