Any news on whether KTP will be off for the Kentucky Oaks? If so, is it going to be like last year where our Union worked it out for the "majority"of members to be off but left those of us in Paint and Body to lay in there and get it??? My feeling on this bs...if we can't ALL be off...then NONE should be off!!! I'm appalled that our UNION agrees to this....NOT suprised....APPALLED!!

Im not crying. I could care less about Oaks. I don't mind working. It's the principle of it that matters to me. Plus think about this. The majority of voters are in the Final areas. Paint and Body only account for a few hundred. Just sayin.

Scrappydo: This is not a matter of "cry-babying"...it falls under the definition of Union. Union - An association, combination, or organization of employees who band together to secure favorable wages, improved working conditions, and better work hours, and to resolve grievances against employers. With that being defined...key words are "Band Together". Your mentality is "as long as it doesn't affect me personally....oh well.". Our Union is so fragmented due to alot of our members thinking this way. Where is the "United We Stand, Divided We Fall" Whether a member works on A, B, or C Crew, a different department, or whether they have what one might consider an "easier" job should have no reflection on whether or not they get to enjoy the same benefits of the majority. All this does is lower morale even more and create alot of unneccessary animosity. When it gets hot this summer does that mean that if a person has an easier job or works on a cooler shift they should not get Union agreed upon Gatorade? ? What about our pay....maybe because I don't sweat as much...maybe pay me less or make me work through break. I know a bit far fetched but get the point??? I pay Union dues the same as everyone...I don't pay less or pay more....the same! With all this being said...I hope when the time arises that our Union works out what is best for ALL MEMBERS...NOT JUST THE MAJORITY.

First off some of you are getting all worked up over Oaks Day and there has not even been a announcement about work schedule for that day. Second if you are not satisfied with the department you currently work in than you can always exercise your right to department transfer and come into final area. If you choose to stay in body or paint then that is your decision so live with it and quit crying.

nascarfan,whare to start.
oh i know! thanx for defining union for us dumbasses. talking down to people is a great way to get respect!
by your highly suspect logic i guess we all should work for $15 per hour right? i mean we werent able to get top tier for the new hires and the basis is all for everyone or none at all, right?
just to be clear. when final was let off for the ball game it had nothing to do with the company or union caring about us seeing the game.(although some union guys may try and sell it that way) they knew if the match up was osu vs uk final would not run. the answer was to MAKE UP THE PRODUCTION WITH LONG SHIFTS(yall always leave that part out. even dayshift worked over for nightshift without crying.) and let final go early. guess what? it worked perfectly! why isnt this done for body? simple body can be down for quite a while and not impact the output of the plant.its all about getting the trucks they need,AND THATS ALL.
if arrangements are made for oaks it will be a similar scenario.nothing more, nothing less!
these theories about more voters in final,etc,or the very notion that the company or union care if you see a ballgame or horse race are really stupid.really really stupid

Why should the work schedule revised for anything. We are grown adults with a job, when you work you don't always have the day off to attend an event. If the event falls on a work day, ask for it off and if you can not get it then be an adult and be responsible and come to work. Gez just cause u have a union does not mean the work schedule Should be revised for stuff. I mean hell if you get right down to it they could be revising the work schedule all year long.
