About That Strike...

After all the bickering and bluster, there has yet to be any movement on carrying out any strike of any kind. Some people blamed former presidents for personally blocking strikes in the past (this only happened once, and it was the during the 1800s)... — read more 

Vacation Qualifying & Undertime

They want furloughs to go at least rest of year to prevent vacation qualification. More heads will roll pretty quick because qualification time is rapidly approaching. Taking unpaid days off helps them realize this goal. Uncle Pete has been... — read more

To everyone saying yeah I will take a week unpaid every month, you could just go on a stress leave make basicly the same amount of money and stretch that out for six months. If the unions allow this to happen it is a injustice to every person that... — read more 

???????????

Any layoffs going on at any shop at this time. Post numbers and crafts below.

Smart Move

Was just thinking of the director that bought 15k shares at $138/share. He’s made 300,000.00 in just a few weeks if he sold it now. He won’t because he knows it’s projected to go much higher. Smart man.

Courage to Care

Just a shout out to the one who came on here as Andre the Giant a few days ago. That was funny.

Voluntary Lay-Off Days

Has anyone seen the memo with the “undertime” process? Once again, the company has took something very simple and over engineered it. They are going to allow you to take an unpaid day off when it’s convenient for them. Turn in a list of days... — read more

Be careful about what you wish for.

We can’t retain (good) help with this pay. I guess they think it is going to be better with less pay. Considering days off, shifts, putting up with the aggregation ,don’t think so.

Voluntary time off

So doesn't this go against our contract of a 40 hour work week. If we agree to this will the company try and lower our hours at contract time, especially if the unions are allowing it now. Also if you took this would you qualify for the 600... — read more 

JUST WONDERING...
