UAW Concessions may include pay freeze, cuts in layoff benefits, skilled trade reductions

We all knew it was coming, GM & Chrysler asking for more money, just getting what they had ask for in the first place. Don't know where all this mess will lead!

You would know if you read the Bramel report

We need a fortune teller.
Anyone?

AP sources: UAW deal cuts bonuses, some raises

DETROIT -- People briefed on the United Auto Workers' deal with Detroit's three automakers say it limits overtime, changes work rules, cuts lump-sum cash bonuses and gets rid of cost-of-living pay raises to help reduce the companies' labor costs.

The people spoke on condition of anonymity because union members have not been told about the terms. They say base wages for UAW workers will remain the same. But the deal limits supplemental pay that laid-off workers receive while they collect unemployment benefits.

The UAW announced Tuesday that it reached the tentative agreement with General Motors Corp., Chrysler LLC and Ford Motor Co. over contract concessions. The union says it won't release details until it reaches agreements with the companies on payments into a union-run trust that will take over retiree health care expenses next year.

Explain how a proposal is excepted?

with the exclusion or exception of

to take or leave out from a number or a whole

to exclude

1 : on any other condition than that : unless <except you repent>
2 : with this exception, namely <was inaccessible except by boat>
3 : only —often followed by that<I would go
except that it's too far>

lesson!! That was great!! But all we have to do is say no!!!!!

I know that the Bramel report is almost always right on the money, but you can't put too much faith in it because things are changing daily. It would help if they put the report out weekly instead of biweekly.

EXACTLY !!!

OK..........exactly what!?

you know, if the union was on the up and up, they could just tell the companies not to worry about funding veba, just turn the retirees healthcare back over to the companies. the union says they were trying to help them out by taking over the healthcare, well, if they don't want or need that help, turn the healtcare costs back over to them!! unless the union had other plans for that money?

The Bramel report has anybody seen the new issue

with all these reductions why don't the unions lower the union dues?

Because they have'nt lowered the hourly wage and its based on that.
although it would be nice if they gave a bit, like say maybe 1 hour a month instead of 2.
yeah right!
