As of Thursday, May 8, 2008 the Strike still continues.
THE DECISION HAS BEEN MADE
General Motors left us with NO alternative after ALL weekend meetings and NO progress to speak of – the choices were none.
- Job Selection – Management Concerns
- Inter-Department Transfers
- Management Placement without regards to Seniority
- Shift Preference – Management Concern -Openings to be filled by shift not by Seniority
- Final Process/Augmentation - These jobs to be filled by Management discretion
- Material Presentation/Salvage rework and UAW negotiated work - This work to be done by vendors Onsite and Offsite
- Lack of in-plant Medical Coverage – would jeopardize the health and safety of our members
- General Maintenance / Construction and elimination of crafts
- Engineers/Contractors will maintain/repair equipment inside facility
This limited list is some of the issues that still separate the parties from reaching an agreement.
This local union has worked very hard in the last 20 years negotiating these important issues and can NOT step backwards by giving into these management concerns.
OUR seniority rights and OUR negotiated work and work rules that we have negotiated are very important to us and Your Shop Committee has tried every way to reach some type of understanding with Management to maintain these rights but to no avail.
Your Shop Committee appreciates your support and continued support as we get through these turbulent times.
