We keep hearing rumors of our plant moving to Schenectady, any truth to this?
How much can we take?
I wonder what will be the last straw. What will make the remaining employees throw in a towel and go somewhere where their knowledge and work will be respected and valued. Frankly, I'm shocked this has not happened already. I know some are leaving... — read more

I think they should go back to a one tier system.
You get what you pay for when it comes to t rates. When talking to a lot of those guys I feel like I’m talking to a box of rocks for the most part. Hear me out I think anyone including d rates who don’t have a degree or formal trade school / military... — read more
The Mayor Of Schdy said it himself that .....
“We can no longer rely on GE for stable employment in the area” Which means it will become a Bar Shop Plant and everything else will be made overseas. This recently passed agreement in 273 is the biggest scam the company has made. The hall fed into... — read more
There will be more layoffs for 273
It’s going to happen again the cuts will be deep into 2012 and might hit 2011. Jan 2019 more layoffs
Just know not a single person person on here knows anything about what’s going to happen.
All this plant closing talk on here it’s like these id--ts are sitting on the board or something. You want to sit there and doom and gloom go ahead but just know no one knows a damn thing.
What did you say?
Did you just say plant shut down for a couple of months?
How is life after being sold by GE?
Maybe I've missed it, but I'm curious as to how our former GE colleagues who worked in businesses that were sold off (GE Plastics, GE Silicones, GE Appliances, KAPL, among others) have fared under their new owners. I'd like to invite those folks to... — read more

Why stay? Just pack your bags and leave already. I honestly don't understand some people. Why be miserable? Why stay in what many refer to as toxic environment? Just go. Find the greener pastures. Then maybe when all the negativity is gone, we'll be... — read more
I Can Not Wait For The Next layoff
I can not wait for the next layoff! Hopefully it is right after the holidays like last year.
Problem with new job codes
A,B,C + T=temporary = division by the membership and free reign by management to harass the floor. New times calls for a new slate! $10 hour less for d rates and no pension, that would be equally beneficial! Meanwhile we earn that dollar raise to be... — read more
New announcement in 273
Sleeper Slate will Announce their Slate soon! We need change the Slate is holding back and letting the current slate mess up enough to get the membership to finally say enough is enough. We do not need the culture change upper management does! We... — read more
GE Schenectady is home of the sleepers.
Check any bay notably K bay Crane Operators set up makeshift hidey holes and sleep in cages for entire shifts. That's why you got laid off so some fat Fack can sleep.

Sleeper Slate Is Coming to the 301
A New Business Agent is in the works to fight for all of the Union members. A change is coming!
GE T rate vs D rate. What happened?
First of all GE created the T and D rate to create division within us union brothers and sisters. So that we wont have a solid voice if ever we don't agree on what GE would do with its company which it already happened. 301 agreed on the creation of... — read more
GRC cash strapped
GRC must be really cash strapped if they now accept outsourcing assignments: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6437324691479752704 How long will it take for GE to start defaulting on the payments?
If your sticking around for a plant closing your wasting your time.
For one even if the plant “closes” Ge will probably keep a few guys from sfo to say it isn’t closed just until the contractual benefits are no more. And honestly I don’t think they have any reason to close anymore. They have a union that does... — read more
What’s this problem?
T= Temporary + A,B,C jobs codes= Plant closing in the next 8-10 months.
How many want 273 to close?
How many want to get the battery plant deal to sever ties? How many want to walk away from GE?
I’m sorry you all actually have to do more then an hrs worth of work now.
Sorry ..... that is all.
Why hasn’t the 301 hall stepped foot on the floor
Have not seen any union officials since this agreement scam got voted in. Why is that?
Heard a rumor that Ge and Tesla are going to merge
Anyone else heard the rumor that Ge and Tesla are merging?

Me-a Troll ??

Schenectady 273
2019-2020 the year 273 will stop manufacturing and move. I know this vote moved the t rates out the door but 2019-2020 will be the year d rates fallow. I would love to see a d rate make $17-$20 an hour and cry no pension fair wages with no union... — read more
