RE: CAW and Ford SettleTECH__You beat me to it this time__I was tied up with the annual tax time torture__and 2007 turned out to be a brute for me!
I like how not only you but also Buzz Hargrove are spinning this one__LOL!
The reality is that Buzz has caved in and eaten a lot of his bravado from just a few weeks ago.
Numerous concessions have been made against many of the hard nosed gains made over the last few decades.
And the best spin is the denial that there will be a two tiered wage structure__I don't know what elso to call it when new hires will only get 70 percent and fewer benefits compared to those with lots of seniority.
And for you to call this 'walking the plank' deal one of ''mutual cooperation''__now you truly can't believe that now can you?
But hey, this is still just a very tentative 'deal' and may not get approved by the membership anymore than the TTC deal did__and last year the UAW membership came close to telling their leadershlip NO WAY.
No matter though__as I have said in the past the 'glaciers' are indeed melting away at an accelerating pace.
I can't wait for Round Two of the epic TWU vs Entwistle rumble.
Mind you with how crappy this new version of S-House is I don't think that I will have the patience to engage the hardliners as I did the last time.
