This group will hopefully bring union employees from all of the
AAM plants together to discuss management policies,
union representation, or contract issues.
It has become apparent to others and I that there is a need for
employees from the different plants, Detroit, Buffalo Gear &
Axle, Tonawanda Forge, Cheektowaga, NY, Three Rivers to communicate
directly with each other. An example of this may be: Are you
sometimes being told that something is being done at another plant
and thats why you have to do it here? We costantly hear at our plant,
"That's the way it's done in Detroit".
Is management at your plant continually
hiring new foreman/supervisors that don't have a clue as to
what's going on? Do you feel that what you thought is a contract issue is
suddenly renegotiated in mid term, with no prior knowledge
to the rank and file? If any of these examples or any other work related issue
is on your mind, please feel free to contribute.
Please no personal attacks or derogatory postings will be accepted.
