We talked to the union reps at shift change this morning;still the same answer;NO NEWS on out plant closing....Onr of the union stewards said he is gonna call the union office every day if he has to till we get answers.I told the steward"Maybe we should ALL call him-overload his message system;let him know there are a LOT of scared,angry people over here that feel all alone,and want answers"-the steward looked at me and said-LOUDLY in front of the whole workforce"JUST WHO THAT WORKS HERE DO YOU THINK HAS THE #$%^%S TO START THAT BALL ROLLIN?"I told him "Its not a matter of havin big cojones-it's whats right;-AND I tell ya what-I WILL CALL HIM MYSELF"!!!-AND that is just what I did after work this morning-I DIDNT scream,swear or offend-Just told him like it is-"DAVE,THIS IS STEVE FROM *******;AND I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE GETTIN THE FEELING THEY ( ME INCLUDED) ARE NOT BEING INFORMED ON THIS ISSUE OF US LOSING OUR JOBS PROPERLY -SILENCE IS NOT THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION IN THIS REGARD"-I told him my name TWICE so he knew who it was-(RARELY have I hid behind anonymity);and so the whole union office can see there are peoole out there that can state their grievances without resorting to trash talk-and believe me;if everybody else I work with calls him;lets just say that there will be a lot less kind words sent in his direction...
God Bless! Betty
