Union representation in a factory is all together different from the trades. The UAW has nothing to do with the hiring process. The Company does all screening and hiring and the union simply ends up representing the employees the Company hires. There is no “going to the union hall” to provide a workforce for the Company.

"Win against corporate America"..................................what a mindless tool.
So the non-union folks get less of a raise than the union? I thought the inions were all about socialism?
Yeah for people in the union. It was a UAW strike. When did non-union people strike? Not the pile of **** freeriders. Piss on them. Union members pay dues!
Meh they get 8% this yr then probably 5 for the next 3 they won't fall behind the union in pay. It'll all get passed downstream anyway. Shareholders probably won't have to take a haircut either.
That was in the works back in September strike or not that was going to happen because headhunters were picking off salary people. I've been averaging 3 calls a week from them since this summer. Just happened to get finalized the day before bonus day.
Headhunters or not, Deere knew they were heading to negotiating some solid increases for the wage group. You won’t ever be able to negotiate Deere farther than they were already prepared to go. As is their history, salaried employees benefit from Deere-UAW negotiations.
In addition to wage increases, the UAW also gained additional holidays and floating holidays that all employees will get to enjoy.
Deere also knows that with the push toward precision ag they are going to be competing for the same talent as big time tech companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple and others in that category. They needed to increase compensation and other perks to attract those people because living in Des Moines or the Quad Cities isn't what you'd call attractive to people from silicone valley. I just read in the news that Deere has bought or leased a building in Chicago to centralize software development. There seems to be a lot happening all at once, some of it tied to the contract negotiations but I think a lot of it was in the works a year ago with the new CEO.
Holding that in for about 6 months?
Follow the thread all the way back. I'm not sure what kind of troll this person is going for but it's pretty bizarre. The op I responded to was definitely talking about some kind of video game.
Oh forgotten thread
