Typical FOMOCO , I guess you could complain to your committee person. If he or she hasn't already made their once a month visit to your area. Or call up to the air conditioned union office, I'm sure they'll get right on it.

They won't. I know people don't like to hear it, but it's true the majority of voters in this country, no matter the subject, are truly ignorant. Whether it's political, & they fall for "free" phones & "free" healthcare, or at work when they believe that signing bonuses are better than hourly raises.
I have no faith in my generation and the one following to make informed decisions about the contract. Money talks, & when their drug/alcohol problem, huge car/boat and house payments loom large, common sense walks.

The filters on the water fountains have been gone for almost 5 years, but like most things on this board when people bitch...facts are always optional.

I thought they stopped using water filters after the deaths at the Cleveland plant from Legionnaires disease? The people contracted it because Ford didn't change them on a regular basis.

The PM's on the fountains are required to be done every 6 months or the bacteria and disease that formed was worse than not using the filters at all...so they eliminated the filters. Ford did not allow skilled trades to change them because production work took priority...so they eliminated it.

The ice machine and water fountain in the new tire room break area was originally working but was shutdown by the plumbing inspector because it was not up to code...the drains must be pumped over to a main drain line which is not close to the tire room...this is a substantial job but is now being discussed to be taken on.

Tuesday at noon and 6pm is the union meeting this month at LAP Union hall...I will be there and will look for you to bring these items up under new business. Bring it to the membership and let everyone discuss that you feel your 2 1/2 hours a month isn't being used properly. You committeeperson and all upper union reps will be there as well as all the members that attend the meetings. Good place to state your feelings instead of a message board. See ya there.

When I was sent home for turning off the line to get a drink from a fountain, I was told I should bring my own drink.

About five years ago the water fountain in my work area tasted horrible. I asked my committee man if he could get the filter replaced. He came back in a couple days later and said the company said it is not in the contact to replace water filters so they wont. lol. You and I know there are miles and miles of water pipes in the plant. Since then I have never had another sip of water in plant. I bring my own. Sad but true

Sad but true There are active KTPers dying from cancer, some KTPers are forced out of work due to chronic seizures. The environment at KTP in no way is a safe place to work. Most definitely some if not all of these illnesses are job/work related. Take all precautions people! Your family expects you to come home from work safe,sound & healthy.
