[QUOTE="scratch, post: 433235, member: 1674"] My brother works for a GM plant in Shreveport, La. At contract time, the UAW will target the plants making the most profitable cars at the time. The employees used to plan vacations when contracts ran out, it was extra time off with most of their pay. The mood has changed though now. The UAW gave givebacks at the last contract, and I think it is just a matter of time when the IBT will have to do the same. My brother is sort of like our plant engineers. He is there to fix the assembly line in case it breaks down. He used to work 80 hours a week. First 40 straight time, second 40 at double time, and triple time on holidays or if he had to come in and watch an outside contractor come do work. He is down to 40 hours now, and worried he will get bumped out of his job and have to go to the line if his plant stays open. And he has 24 years seniority. [/QUOTE]
