Apparently i am willing to give up 80 hours vacation time(we lost 40 in the original contract) pay $30 a month for health care, have my wages frozen for 4 years and have my annual bonus' taken away.

Does anyone remember the CAW fighting the co-pay and changes in the health care system when the Conservatives tried to bring in "for profit" hospitals?  Now they think it's alright for their members to co-pay?  I don't get that.

The one plus side to this agreement that I have to commend the CAW for listening to the members is the following..............The agreement is contingent on the company receiving government financial assistance.
If Ford doesn't ask for a governement bailout, then none of this affects us.  But that begs the question now, why wouldn't they ask for the bailout?

I'd certainly be willing to forego those things on your list; but fortunately for the economy I've never had them in my 30 years on the job.

WORD! :lol:

I haven't had a raise in over 3 years, lost our employee savings plan, and no more bonuses. I've done enough for the economy. :rolleyes:

Sure you guys lost a lot, but dont act like nobody else is sacrificing their benefits.
