Thanks, Fact Checker!

Well, Vought "fact-checked" our flyer we put out today, and we sure appreciate it!

Yep, we messed up. We pointed out the BIG takeaway on prescription drugs from new retirees, the FACT that the company has capped the prescription benefit at $425 a month, not a year.

That was a mistake we made in our haste, and we admit it.

The prescription benefit was uncapped until now, and we all know with the cost of prescription drugs these days, and the fact that retirees often need expensive drugs, it's a HUGE takeaway, that could affect a retiree's ability to live on their fixed income.

I wonder what they are going to say to a retiree that has multiple drugs that could easily come to over $1,000 a month?

Tough luck?

They pointed out on the "Fact Checker" that the Temporary Transfer Language, where they can put you ANYWHERE in the plant for ninety days, regardless of seniority, they say "For explained production reasons only".

That means for whatever reason they want to explain. The worker has NO PROTECTION in the contract. It's all up to the company.

We just wonder, when will the Fact Checker check THEMSELVES???
