I have had many conversations with alot of people on the floor and so has all the shop stewards. All of the conversations and discussions have the same concerns,hopes,wishes,desires, and yes dreams that we had since the very beginning. That hasnt changed. The content of the written contract hasnt changed.The ideals that everyone who gave input hasnt changed. So how and why could it be too late? The written agreement has and will be the constant. Regardless of what manager or what person is where. We have our voices on paper. Without that, you have No input.The majority of people That I have talked to want the same things. I havent heard anyone say to me that they want the company to do whatever they want to do in regards to our employment. Not one.The only side that ever says that is the management side.<br /> Things arent doom and gloom as certain blogs would have it. I can assure you that face to face, people have given their support for what the people want.Has anyone heard any member say they dont want a raise? Has anyone heard anyone say that they want to have more taken away from them. Of course not. The reps have worked hard for a long time and will continue to represent the consensus of the plant. We are still solid and still strong. Come talk to me face to face if youd like. I welcome your input. Our diversity makes us strong.We have been at this plant through alot. We have struggled through many problems in the past and have come out better in the end. This is no different.Joe D.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8779589689215757737.post-19256660793393335382011-07-28T08:45:46.801-04:002011-07-28T08:45:46.801-04:00Joe,

Im...Ive been away awhile and just got back in town. Im trying to catch up with everything. Im dissappointed to see some negative blogs. No matter what people believe in, if anyone has a problem or disagreement with the consensus of the people who voted in this union,please bring your thoughts and concerns to light without tearing down eachother. We are a union. We have a consensus and we will achieve the goals of the consensus. We are not perfect, but we are willing to try to make things better for the members of this union. That is better than whinning about problems and not trying to make things better. There is always going to be disagreements between people, different points of view,different priorities. We can and have reduced those differences just by talking to eachother. We can and have been talking with the company about things that are important to us all. The company and every individual that works at our plant has a mutual need. We all need to produce a quality product that someone wants to buy.If we dont do that all of us are out of business. Period. Including our union. Sam knows that. The company knows that. Your reps know that.You know that. There. We are all on the same page.Lets finish this negotiation and take a look together at what the company and the reps that the consensus has asked to represent them have worked on. We have voiced our concerns and they have been heard. The company will sitdown with us very soon and discuss the final aspects that are so important to everyone. Whatever the final offer is,I truly hope that the company keeps in mind that our consensus, our people,our membership, us individuals have worked hard during all this time to keep our quality product coming out.We deserve the respect of the company. The only way to respect us is to complete our contract with good and respectable compensation that the consensus has definitely has earned.Joe D.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8779589689215757737.post-5179073066513583592011-07-27T20:49:17.243-04:002011-07-27T20:49:17.243-04:00Sam> Thank you for giving a good point of view...Sam> Thank you for giving a good point of view.
