YAY, 8 tier pay and im at the bottom! :angry:

They don't even have a union steward(or anybody representing them) on every shift, they are all permanently on days
At our last contract, had a union meeting and they strongly advised us to vote for it. They had a booklet they handed out to everybody, that said 9% wage increase in big bold letters on the front page and they started the voting before they EVEN STARTED THE MEETING. A HUGE LOAD OF BS, and that 9% is just a base increase not your real pay , so it worked out it like just under 3% over 3 years. If the stupid POS CAW wouldn't have tricked all the members and if the members were smart and not to vote for it before they heard the meeting... ERRR The guys making more money before got a bigger raise than the lower tier guys, WTF!!!
and the barganing comitties reponses during the meeting were, "thats the best we could do", "thats a grey area", "we tryed but we couldn't get it" i heard they didn't even have anybody like a lawyer or anybody read over the contract.
but if there is one thing they do, do well is they keep people from getting fired, other than that, they get the lube so the company can stick it up our @$$e$
just venting, YAY i got a lay off notice today!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
