PRICELESS
THINK ABOUT THIS - All this money and energy to fight their OWN WORKERS! Shameful!
Still not answered by Dan, Ken or Tony:
Why did Ken LIE right away?
What's the 5 year non union plan?
Why is no written contract better for me?
What does the future hold for us in Newburgh?
Will we lose any money staying non union?
Will we lose any benefits staying non union?
Is it true they want to increase our health contributions by 2011?
Can we expect the same "concern" from Dan and Ken when we vote YES for IBEW Local 363?
Where was Tony's concern when your health costs went up and they screwed you on your 401k?
What did Dan do for you when you complained about Warrens victory dance when they took your break time away?
Why did Dan say the company could have recognized the union but it's the COMPANYS RIGHT to have an election? They don't vote! It's not THEIR RIGHT - It's OURS!
Do you realize that these captive meetings work just like the "time share" condo people do it - they try to wear you down so you do what THEY want you to do?
REALIZE that every time you guys sit in one of those meetings they are paying $25,000 per month to brainwash you. OOP add $20k for Ken now.
Do you realize that IBEW Local 363 will instill CONFIDENCE and STABILITY in the workforce?
Get ready for a union plant in Newburgh.

ReplyDeleteHi everyone.Happy holidays! I hope you made it through the storm OK. Im glad it happened when most of us were off. I hate to bring us back to reality but this time of year brings about a major issue for us all. Inclement weather policy. For 22.5 years there has been no inclement weather policy. Why? The company has always wanted the ability to manage any crisis so that labor is least cost factor as possible. Thats fine as long as peoples lives are not at risk. This type of storm lives are at risk if you have to travel in this type of weather. I think there has to be on paper a definitive descritption and reaction plan to this type of situation.In the past I have risked my saftey to go to work to ensure that I would not be disciplined for not showing up in states of emergency. A case by case basis was told to the employees after the fact, never before. We could not judge whether we would risk being disciplined or not without input from Metal container. That has to stop. Today. Please give input on how you would like to address this issue with the company.
ReplyDeletearep, you've got a good start there....
ReplyDeleteWe need a policy which says "stay home when a state of emergency has been declared". Also, it should state that if a state of emergency prevents us from going home, the company will put us up next door. End of story...we need to be treated like something other than replaceable parts in the machine.
Peace and a Happy new year to all!
I agree that there needs to be something written down so that there is some way to know when to come in if there is severe weather. Im tired of the guessing game or the favoritism game on who gets a pass for not coming in when others get banged for an occurrance.
ReplyDeleteLast year I drove through deep snw and went off the road trying to get to work during a state of emergency. All because nobody said is was alright to stay home.
ReplyDeleteThank you for bringing this topic up.I want something in writting so I know what to do when we have storms. I dont mind the small storms but these big ones put us in harms way.
ReplyDeleteIts not funny until someone gets hurt. Then its freakin hilariuos.
ReplyDeleteHey everyone you are right this does need to be discussed and it will be brought up in negotiations. We have been taught about safety all our career's here at Mcc they show us videos all the time how to stay safe but never do they preach about major snowstorms and what to do about those situations. That is because mgmt. only cares those days about making cans and not about our safety. This will be brought up to Sam and Mike Forte about keeping us safe I promise. I agree the little snowfalls we can manuever in but the big ones need to be addressed for sure. It amazes me that mgmt. has struggled with these decisions all these years. Keep up the blogging and let us know your ideas it helps alot at the bargaining table trust me. Stay safe for the new year and enjoy your families during this holiday season. Go local 363 we love you guys.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year guys...
ReplyDeleteI'm not a member, just following this from a far and hope your negotiations and vote go well.
Always great to see Labor taking its rightful place at the decision table.
Good Luck and thanks for all your hard work.
Congratulations on your victory for workers!
ReplyDeleteUnions built the middle class. Companies made money. Everyone won.
Let Ronald Reagan's legacy of union hating - perpetuated by the right wing today - end. Ironic that he was once the president of SAG.
Congrats and happy holidays to all of you! Stay Strong!

It's so good to see this.
ReplyDeleteI am x employee.
I want this to be successful for all!
Great work you guys are doing here! Just visiting from "DailyKos" which has a diary on your unionizing - great way to overcome management anti-union propaganda!
ReplyDeleteHas anyone ever gotten written up for staying home when there was a major snow storm?
ReplyDeleteYup, I received an occurrence and lost my perfect attendance day.
ReplyDeleteThe snow storm prior to the big one of last year. Left for work and there was a tree from my neighbors yard across my driveway. I tried to pull it out of the way with my truck, it was too big and too slippery for the truck to pull, even in four wheel drive. Do I grab the chainsaw and try to cut it up at five o'clock in the morning and get an occurrence for being late for work anyway? Once again it's a no win situation set up by our management. I banged in and cut the tree up throughout the day, it was a monster. A few days later the big storm hit, I risked my life coming into work to avoid another occurrence. Driving under downed power poles and over downed power lines in a state of emergency.
Was it worth it to make freaking beer cans?
Never again.
Our present management is thankless.
Our lives mean nothing.
Padding their pockets is more important than our safety and lives.
I'm so thankful we have a Union.
Who knows? Maybe you get written up maybe you don't. That's the problem with everything. Nothing in writing and changable whenever. Nobody ever knows what to really do. Management doesn't ever give you that out as in stay home. They make you feel guilty and even punish you on your decision. They trust us with millions of dollars of equipment but never really trust us (you people know what I'm talking bout). EH it makes me sick...
ReplyDeleteas far as snow days/ snow emergencys go you should not be held accountable as far as late/ pad days go. i think a 2 hour limit sounds o.k time to make it to work everybody that works here knows that this is a 24/7 job. plan ahead if you know a storm is coming set the alarm clock to give you time to think will i try this ore not? but there is people that work here that see a flurry and say i am calling in due to a snow storm that's the problem here those people don't really care about there jobs ore the money. and if you are at work and a snow emergency happens and you are stuck there mcc should cover the cost of the hotel for a night no questions asked.this is just my idea of a snow day/emergency that sounds reasonable enough for the contract.to me i did not see many ideas on this from other t,m. i am not trying to hammer the company for a act of GOD. i am just trying to come up with a reasonable idea to help with our contract on a cold subject.
ReplyDeleteYes I got written up a couple of years ago when the city I live in decleared a state of emergency.I even brought the local paper in to show that but it did not matter.Lost my perfect attendance and written up.I value my life more than making cans.
