Its Friday, week is over. Quite possibly one of the most rumor filled weeks ever at KTP, and that is saying alot. We have gone from sanity to quite honestly choas in 48 hours with the rumor mill. My union president that wanted me to give up the right to strike now suddenly seems hell bent on striking if God forbid we dont agree with him. Ive seen threats from our own union of a strike or lockout, although looking at Ford stock on Wall Street I dont sense any threat of that at all.
It seems that when our local union reps are campaigning I have trouble getting through the gate with all the handouts, pencils, inkpens, huggies, bumper stickers that are literally shoved at me. Now here we are at a crossroads and all the people in the plant are looking for is a litte leadership and information. I have recieved one handout from Scott Eskridge. Nothing from any of the bargaining committee, or any of the committee. Myself I would like to know their opinions, are the for it? are they against it? Who the hell knows. This local lacks leadership to say the least, I kept waiting for someone to come out to Frame 1 and explain to me why I should vote for this or why I should not. Never happened. These are the guys that are in office, they were voted in by their peers for times such as these but they ALL have failed us, and I for one will not vote for any of them that are currently in office. My Dad used to tell me thats its easy to be a leader when things are going good but the true test of leadership is who leads in difficult times.
