The fact the CAW presented this offer as acceptable to the membership deems them useless.

Ford and the CAW have ratified a new three year deal. Oakville, was the only plant to turn it down.

When you think about though, Oakville is deserving of improvements to their contract. What Plant, other than Oakville, is hiring?

Instead, we get this ass backwards contract that just pisses me off.I think the CAW was looking at the industry as a whole and the outlook for Canada specifically in terms of making the deal ... but in any event, if you factor in "sharing the success" you're enjoying now, do you not also have to include "sharing the pain" of any possible downturn? I think from the union's POV sharing the success means more members working, not necessarily more coin for each. Anyway - congrats to the boys and girls building the Edge and MKX - it is helping save Ford and put more money into the shareholders jeans - yay!! And for that, I personally thank you.

I could always throw it into "Handicapped Parking" for you if you'd rather respond 'A'la meford' :D I think the OAC is in a tough spot, they produce a fine product but with the other operations in Canada suffering the union had to offer up something "for the greater good of all the members" (Which I know means jack spit when you're the ones getting teh shaft :() NefCanuck |
