Well I am sure that what the company proposed to our members was something like this.
- No Job Security
-No $5 Raises for all T Rates
- No Free Healthcare
-No 401k match
- Less Paid time off
-Less head count reduction if the union accepts
The ABA didn’t see that this was acceptable to the membership so he countered with this.
-Job Security by bringing in Aviation to keep the membership working seeing how the Power division is a dyeing product. But with the provisions to layoff members at will and have them on a on call basis.
-
$13 raise for T Rates
-
Free Healthcare for T Rates
-
7 weeks vacation for All members
-
2 hour breaks for all members
-Call back all the Employees from Layoffs and who walked out. Promises the membership no more layoffs in this new $1.6 billion dollars in cuts to Power.
What do you think happened? I think the company said accept our contract or we close the doors with no plant closing provisions from the upcoming expired contract.
