Take a look at this cartoon by Mikhaela Reid, titled "Jane Reaction".
She did this about GM shutting down our plant, titled "Good 4 GM".
Read the June 5th handout from the local:
To Our Local 735 Members:
Membership ratifies G.M. Concession Contract.
On Thursday, May 28th, Local 735 members voted to ratify the concessionary contract by 56% 'yes' to 44% 'no' margin.
On a brighter note, the union members of Knight-FM voted for their 1st contract and all 51 votes were 100% for ratification.
Congratulations to our union brothers and sisters at Knight-FM.
The following is from the National UAW website:
UAW members ratify General Motors settlement agreement
DETROIT − UAW members at General Motors have ratified a settlement agreement with General Motors and the U.S. Treasury.
Seventy-four percent of production workers and 74 percent of skilled-trades workers voted for the agreement in balloting that took place at UAW General Motors locations throughout the United States.
"UAW members have once again stepped up to make necessary and painful sacrifices to preserve U.S. manufacturing jobs," said UAW President Ron Gettelfinger. "This settlement agreement will give GM a chance to survive the worldwide collapse of industry sales and return as a viable company once the economy recovers and consumers begin purchasing vehicles again."
"These are difficult times for our active and retired members," said UAW Vice President Cal Rapson, who directs the union's GM Department. "We've negotiated an agreement which will make GM competitive. And thanks to hard bargaining and strong public support from our members and from many Americans who care about our country's manufacturing base, we won a commitment from GM for new small-car production here in the United States."
The concessionary settlement agreement, which takes effect at 4 p.m. today, meets the requirements of the U.S. Treasury for additional loans to General Motors. It includes modifications to the union's 2007 collective-bargaining agreement with GM and modifications to the Voluntary Employee Beneficiary Association (VEBA) trust.
