has anyone noticed vought takes about 3 days to post something new... wonder how much they are paying those people to come up with something.. that's sad if it takes them that long to come up with a new post!
i'll be there!!! i have to admit, living in smyrna has kept me from being there more than i wanted. so if the unionwants us to be there,i'll be there...
i don't know whyvought keeps talking about that old contract on thier web site.it's like they are still trying to get us to buy it. this word is for vought QUIT TALKING ABOUT THAT OLD CONTRACT. COME TO THE TABLE WITH SOMETHING REAL...
I am all for the show of solidarity. I would just like to suggest that since we are going to be picking up our strike checks on the 20th, that, that would be a more feasible and economic option. Most of us I 'm sure want to show up, however, we all dont live very close. I am planning on being there on the 20th, I believe the turn out would be better on that date.
When International Business Machines froze its pension plan in early January, thousands of its employees suddenly felt a lot less certain about their retirement security.
Samuel Palmisano, IBM chief executive, has no such worries. Palmisano, according to IBM's (IBM, news, msgs) regulatory filings, will receive an annual pension of $4 million when he retires at age 65. That works out to $75,000 a week -- or more than $10,000 a day, including weekends.
It's becoming a familiar theme, as witnessed by this week's announcement by Alcoa (AA, news, msgs) that it will not offer pensions to new hires. And as traditional pension plans disappear and are replaced by less-generous 401(k) plans, the very executives who cut those pensions are keeping their guarantees of retirement luxury.
In IBM's case, executives will reap the rewards of fat pensions that remain fat even as the company changes its rules. In others, high-ranking managers are given extra pension credit for time served. Some CEOs who are scaling back company benefits are guaranteed multimillion-dollar payouts when they leave, even if it's as a result of being laid off.
And there's another benefit to top executives: By cutting pensions, they make their companies more profitable, thus boosting their own bonuses. "It is unseemly for executives to reap higher bonuses on that basis," says Eleanor Bloxham of the Value Alliance and Corporate Governance Alliance, a Westerville, Ohio-based outfit that advises boards and companies on corporate governance issues.
But because big shareholders are not about to complain about a CEO making a company more profitable, these practices aren't likely to change anytime soon.
GREAT ILL BE THERE.JUST A NOTE,FACT CHECKER DATED OCT.3 ON COMPANY WEBSITE STATED,ALL OVERTIME AFTER 40 WILL BE TIME AND ONE HALF.NO MENTION OF DOUBLE TIME FOR HOLIDAYS OR SUNDAYS!
In the end we the "Money Makers" will have to pull this company out of a hole as we have done so many times before. Ain't that right "The Replacements".
Im going to vaccumn and pick up trash out of airlines for 20.00 an hr full time. Who needs slave labor at these gas prices and infation.Vought can stick it!
i hear alot of people are crossing on the 20 ,i hope not, this needs to get done next week, next month, but done , its not people pateince is wearnin out ,but their wallets,and im trying my best to hold strong so post some available jobs at the hall if anyone is having luck
The only way we will get what we need is to stay the course, stay strong and not cross the line. I know everyone hates to be on strike but if we cross the line we lose our bargaining power. I was glad to hear yesterday about how few people have crossed the line.
The company surely knows (especially if they have a 401k)that trying to take away pensions in this economy will never pass. I have money in a 401k from a previous job and if I have 60% left from a few months ago I will feel blessed. I truly feel sorry for all the people that have 401k's and are getting ready to retire.
I was doing math and $750 a week times 3 (since the strike started)=2250.00. I hope the scabs and I mean our scabs are proud of themselves they sold their souls for the less than a prositute; but at least they will kiss you. they are in no mans land the union don't want them and the company knows what their worth; I would hate to know that I can not be trusted by anyone. Because they couldn't be put in a position of company secrets because they would sell it at the Flea Market. think about it. YANKEE
All of the brothers and sister of L.L. 2325 Waynesboro Tn. are keeping all of you in our prayers.Just remember if it's not worth fighting for it's not worth having.
Fox 17 news reported you will be on strike until Vought will listen to the union. They get it so why can't Vought? Just fact checkers along with smoke and mirrors from Vought. Maybe when they watch the news and someone explains it to them they will understand what is needed from them.
