Local 23 sends International UAW Packing!

The International Union called a Special Meeting illegally and behind the local member's backs to present a concessionary contract the membership had voted to NOT NEGOTIATE! Here is how a proud UAW local makes sure their voices are heard when the International tries to ram things down their throats, against their will.

As I watch I tell you folks I have goosebumps. I wish local 136 in St. Louis would have had half the solidarity you're showing here. I'm so proud of you all, solidarity FOREVER!

@phattvids Thanks! I had goosebumps and a huge lump in my throat. I was also so proud of these people. If you are an autoworker, come on over to our site. factoryrat4now I'm not sure if I have your local there but it can be added. ; )

No, the woman doing the prayer was the Local 23 Chaplain. She was on hand at the meeting for documenting the vote because she wanted button number 400! LOL!

The video posted here is of the meeting the Local made the International leave because it was in all kinds of violations doing what it was doing. They were since forced to take a vote, mail-in this time, and AGAIN was overwhelmingly voted down. : )

So much for what the Regional Director Mo Davison said about the Region and International being inundated with requests for this vote and how the "silent majority" was being intimidated by a few loud mouths.

If anyone learns anything here...one thing is to stop listening to the news. They too have an agenda. *mad face* They report what they are TOLD to report with the spin they are TOLD to put on it. When they are given the facts with proof, they will not print it.

Keep in mind, there were those who did not come to the Union Hall to have their votes recorded. Probably most of the yes votes, but we did have people go ahead and mail their votes who voted no too. There was a paragraph included on the ballot that scared them from recording their vote, making them think it would not be counted if they took it to the Union Hall.

313 Votes would have meant the NOs had it. We recorded 412!

You are all sheep being fleeced. Fleeced by your union, fleeced by GM, fleeced by your government. You trusted and hoped. You were sold down the river, now join the ranks of the "used to be'.

@dlbysr44 If you've studied history properly then you'd realize that in order for a system or rule to have growth within a field or area. The people controlling it don't achieve it by walking straight through a rabid current on a river. They either wait for the water to settle out into a more calm stream. Or they build a bridge over it, Which requires more time instead of waiting for the stream to settle down. Same principle applies to less aggression and more thought.

@dlbysr44 "keep buying GM Ford and Chrysler and will make sure the U.S./Canadian-union made content is at least 75% " What the hell does that prove? That god exists in the form of Christianity despite the fact that it also aided the length of the dark ages? That extra terrestrials once visited earth? That UFO's are real and there is a live footage of people going inside of an aline spaceship on youtube?

of course! It doesn't prove ANYTHING. And it isn't going to fix anything in that form of rule

@dlbysr44 In fact FUCK GM! i'd rather work for a company like Honda instead. Because they respect their employees by the work that they perform. This is how a REAL company should be run. They will give you only what you work for. Which is very Fair in my book.

@dlbysr44 "I'm refering to the opportunistic executive assholes."

Not all executives are assholes. Untill you can't get your mind out of that approach. Then you will never understand. Every company needs to expand inorder to survive, Which also means workers will be able to get their checks to. This sometimes involves corners or costs that NEED to be cut. IT's basic economics. However GM execs where always corrupt and hell bent.

And the Soviet union is no longer because of financial instability. EEEEEEEEEEEVIL!
