Something to think about

From the late, great Tennessee Ernie Ford - This is how workers lived in the past, and this is how Carlyle and Vought wants the worker in Tennessee to live in the furture.

This is what we are fighting for, the future for our families and our coworkers. Tennessee Ernie embodied the pride and fight in Tennessee workers. Carlyle has misjudged us.

i think that if there is someone out there with some really good computer skills. They could get that video playing on vought's new flat screen tvs and play it through out the the plant that would be awesome. Great video stay strong people we will win this and we will do what we do best. Build extremely high quality airplane components in our "state of the art facility with state of the art tools". Be proud of our work and think about how many people around the world depend on us and appreciate us, including our troops. The company will someday figure this out and we will be rewarded. Until then keep your heads up and continue to be what we are. PROUD TENNESSEANS......

Cool video. I feel sorry for all the trees vought wasted on that contract proposal. I'm confused. Why would vought want us to come back to work for the lastest deal? Why would vought want workers to work for them and hating their guts at the same time? Thats what your gonna get if that happens. If the worker doesn't have a good attitude , the worker isn't gonna do the best job. Catch my drift. You can eyeball us to death but it still aint happening. You aint nothin but a hound dog cryin all the time.

When most people get offered a new contract it is basically based on your latest performance. So why were we offered such a low scale contract. They should have just left the old contract alone, even that would have been better. This new contract they have up now is a total disgrace. I think we are further away from this strike coming to an end than ever. I am very proud to be a part of this union. Everyone will remember the local 735 for many, many days to come. Keep your heads high for we are doing the right thing and the evil doers know it. To the BIG bosses in texas that are calling the shots.... we the workers gave you your jobs and made this company what it is today, that ought to count for something.

Go back a little to leap further.
