WEEKLY UPDATE November 14, 2014
ORDER BANK:
2015 Escape: 27,890 26 days supply
2015 MKC: 4,020 21 days supply
Local 862 Proudly Hosts
The 30th Annual Christmas Bowling Tournament 2014
Strikes & Spares (Fern Valley) 6220 Old Shepherdsville Rd
Team Event Monday, Dec. 29th 9:30 am
Singles & Doubles Tuesday, Dec. 30th 9:30 am
Entry fee is $22.00 per event per person. An “Actual All Events” will be
available for $3.00 each
Only $22.00 per event – So get your teams together!!! Due to lane
availability, only the first 24 teams will be accepted. Submit complete entry
forms and cash or money orders to our Local Union 862 Financial Secretary, Scott
Edwards, made out to Local 862 UAW. Entry Forms may be picked up at either
Union Hall, in the in-plant Union offices and through your committeepersons.
* Only active and retired members of UAW Local 862 are allowed to participate.
PLEASE WRITE PROPOSALS: Those who attended the recent Town Hall meetings heard
it over and over again; it is always great to get verbal feedback and sit down
face-to-face with the workers on the floor, but if there’s something you want
changed/added/deleted in our Master Agreement you also need to please write a
proposal to address it. From two-tier to benefits changes to work rules, even if
it got mentioned at the meeting, even if you told somebody about it in a
conversation, even if you think somebody else is writing the same
proposal…write your own proposal and turn it in. One proposal form for each
idea please. Proposals are the starting point of negotiations. Your national
negotiators hear literally HUNDREDS of suggestions and complaints and opinions
and praise during their national travels and daily duties, and just our Local
862 town hall meetings alone brought forward several dozen valid, important
issues we here would like addressed. But which ones are most important to our
national membership overall? Several months from now our national negotiators
will go through all the submitted proposals to try and figure out what is the
highest and lowest priority according to the dictates of our 40,000+ members.
They will definitely have those town hall meetings and conversations in mind,
but they have again asked membership everywhere to put in writing the things
that are most important to them. Imagine if there are 13 proposals written by
members to address re-adding legal services, 500 proposals written to address
two-tier, 850 proposals written to address child care for workers, 1,300
proposals written to get back a Christmas bonus, and 2,000 proposals written to
implement a national perfect attendance program….what would they believe the
majority of the membership wants the priority order to be if/when push comes to
shove on items at negotiating time? TURN IN THOSE PROPOSALS! Ask your
Committeeperson for a form, stop in the Union Office at F-18 in-plant, or pick
one up at either Union Hall.
STATUS OF ENTRY LEVEL EMPLOYEES AT FORD: Employees can access a listing of
Ford’s overall Entry Level status as well as plant-by-plant, definitions and
administration language for Entry Level Employees, Appendix V (Entry Level
Employee appendix) language from the Master Agreement, and lots of other

uawford.org/entrylevel/ and choose the appropriate link for what you are
looking for. Keep in mind that to protect employee personal information all
names, global ID’s and SS last four are masked on this listing; you can see
seniority dates, plant locations and other helpful information to see where our
overall numbers are or to calculate where you fall in the overall numbers.
These numbers are accurate as of the date given.
