you are most likely right but what do we do let them offer $16 cut the benefits in 1/2 and vote it in ,"I don't think so"
If you have a better idea lets hear it |

I have always voted for strike in my 35 years there.I would vote strike again if i were working. But its not up to me anymore. Before i left there was a lot of concern over those who are laid off for ever and will never return and they still have the right to vote on this contract. Most will take what ever to keep working simply because there are not enough GOOD PAYING JOBS out there and those who will never be back could vote strike and Dana closes the last plant in this area and throws out of work 175 more on top of the 700 already gone FOREVER
So I toss it back to you buddy , what are you going to do |

So you worked 5 years past what you fought for in your contract ,30 years and out with a full pension and benifits thats some good coin if you can get it.... |

At 30 years i would have been 52 years old and loose 5% for every under65 on canada pension. 5 more years i gained 50 bucks a year on the hayes pension for a total of an extra 250 bucks a month which will help when i loose at 65 ,also years ago my ex gets 50% of 7 years canada pension.....and i also was not ready to retire. and besides I along with 700 other guys helped make the frame plant what it was so i get to go when i damn well want to go ,
I wish i could be around when the younger group finally reach 30 years and then they see they really are not ready to go
well there you have it I didnt need to say a thing but just for your benifit theres my reasoning.  |

I am not going to second guess what will happen in June ,we will have to wait and see what the offers are and go from there I only said what i did earlier because i know it will get back to the union and the CO. and just wanted them to know what the feelings of the membership and the employees are.  |

when i first started working i didn't ask why men with 30 and some with 42 years didn't retire ......each person does what he or she has or must do  |

| go ahead and give yourself cheers but if you dont use the benifits you negotiate eventually they take them away. |
