Vote Eduardo President?



Eduardo wants to be president. He is a real nice guy, very friendly. But on his flier, he said “United we stand,” but with whom? Based upon the color contrast of his fliers being posted all over Raytheon, I suspect Eduardo may like the Communist Party. Maybe you should go for one of the other candidates if you like the Union. Keep Eduardo for a beer drinking buddy instead. That way his activities with radical left wing organizations won’t tempt him to use union assets to forward his political agenda.
Here are a few comments to go along with his flier, just for Eduardo’s entertainment.
Your Union was declining in membership at RMS. What did you do to fix it? New growth is from organizing other sites. Raytheon remains about where it was three years ago.
You were in poor financial shape – couldn’t afford arbitration – couldn’t afford training, so you raised the dues by fifty percent! Thanks from the working class!
You were facing an aggressive union busting effort. You beat back the union busters & their attack on your union? What, with ghost busters t-shirts and rat buttons? Not exactly. We passed out petitions, we didn’t get enough signatures. Our efforts were not effective enough Eduardo, neither was yours.
You still claim you won the Lawsuit. I say you didn’t. The retirees did. Why don’t you to dispute my post from this blog dated Aug 25, 2008. Good luck on that.
Your accomplishment reads “With your help, we have successfully negotiated a contract”? How does that make you the best candidate for President of the Union?
You claim “We are ready for the next contract negotiations.” Really? Are you going to fix any of the things we complained about? Is ignoring the Ousties worth round two?
You say “We are ready for a strike should the company push us with take-a-ways.” No way! A Strike? Surely you know half your members would cross the first day if you dared. And what-if the Ousties organize a counter-strike? How effective will that make you? You should concern yourself with satisfying the Ousties biggest peeves. This union had a transformational experience last year. It not only has to deal with the company, but with other represented employees that are still angry with it. It affects the union’s potential for effective negotiations. There were a series of meetings early this year with a couple of the Ousties and some of the Union leadership. Your lack of regard for the union is demonstrated by your never going to these meetings. So I ask, why do you want the membership to vote for you Eduardo?

To Serbia Parti:

Yes the incorrect spelling was intentional. I wanted to say, for the first time ever, I agree with your comments (all but one) and wanted to say thank you.

Thank you for admitting that your "efforts were not effective" for your decert failure. Personally I think you would have a bigger following if you were more sincere in being humble about the facts rather than placing blame on others, and redirection thru distraction and distorted facts.
You would make for a good Magician!

I am a lifelong Union member and by God, Yes I am proud of it!
Yes you are right, Ed needs to move on to just drinking beer, or maybe even Kool-Aid.
The retirees did win the lawsuit, a strike would not be the best choice, the company has shown us their true colors.

"You should concern yourself with satisfying the Ousties biggest peeves"

This is where you go about the whole process wrong. You argue about your rights when you are not dues paying members, then you join Tea Party movements and other political party agenda orgs to try to change the way this country operates.

Why not just "Decertify" the U.S. Government? Get a petition started, I would think that would actually get more signatures.
Point is, every radical across the globe piss and moan and the U.S. politicians will NEVER listen because they are NOT citizens. They have NO voting rights or voice.

You are in the same boat. Do you sincerely believe that your peeves are more or as important as those who are "paying" their representatives to negotiate or fight for?
Those dues paying members are the "citizens" if you will, you are the outsiders. Do you see the difference? Do you not really understand it?

You cannot get the Union leadership to honor your request above those of it's citizens without causing discontent among the citizens.
Actual citizens have more of an impact, look at the Tea Party, they are getting more attention than the global radical non citizens.

Unfortunately those radicals can only get attention when they try to blow things up, and then the attention they get is outrage and anger, remember 9/11?

To the citizenship of local 933 the decertification effort is an act of terrorism.

What would the Tea Party, or other political reform group members think,
if all of our politicians put the needs of every other country above our own?
Our country, our people, our citizens should come first.
The needs of our wives and children should come first before the needs of our third cousins twice removed by marriage. Or even worse the friend of the friend, of the neighbor who used to live next door that you haven't seen in 16 years,and hardly even remember.

I hope you can really grasp the analogy here.

Just as wrong to support legislation such as Employee Free Choice Act (e.g. card check)? Yeah, thought so.

Hypocrisy in action on both sides of this dispute it seems.

"This is where you go about the whole process wrong."
I want to take that argument. I'll speak for some of us, not all. Some of us have practically joined you already. Others are chomping at the bit to fight. Most are just waiting, deciding what to do.
You think that because we don't pay dues, we have no rights. You are wrong. In fact, legally, the union has representational rights over us, at a cost. Today the union school of handling non-members no longer works. They teach you to ignore us. We taught you that is poor judgment. Do not forget. But let’s not talk about us, the rebels who won’t pay for up-to-now unsatisfactory representation.
Instead, let’s talk about the dues paying members in the classifications that truly deserve your ear according to your rules. If the union had listened to them, the Ousties would not exist. Damn the strike. This problem started when the union fought for medical costs instead of a GWI and they accepted "certain" class raises that broke the back of fair value representation. And it did so while forcing the rest of us to accept zero percent raises, to quote one of our former members.
All of those angry Machinists were pissed at the company for what, in my opinion, was mostly the union's fault. Members and Stewards came forward asking the Union to fix it long before the Ousties were even thought of. They were summarily ignored. Years went by waiting for positive action with no proposals for change, much less results. Then came the strike over a contract that was better than the one we got last year. Hundreds of workers, Ousties and their sympathizers spoke with their dollars and loyalty.
You can call us terrorists if you want. You say it like you call newscasters "elite media" after drinking a RedBull during the Glen Beck show. Most, if not all of the overt Ousties had cars vandalized during the first year after the strike. Who is calling who what? I'm sure you meant to call us "terrorists" figuratively. Understand that our methods were swiped from union textbooks. How did it feel to be on the other side of "union terrorism?" Just because we aren’t “citizens” of the union, doesn’t mean we aren’t legal residents by virtue of our employment; and by giving you the right to represent us, we get the right to picket unfair practices. We didn’t jump the fence. We belong here, just like you.
I think the union listens to the National more than its own members. Public records show the money trail supports my claim. When we held back our membership, dues and loyalty, it wasn't for the reasons the union taught you. It was our rebellion against not treating all classes in accordance with their market value. Is it any wonder the highest skilled labor in RMS is disproportionately under-represented? Nobody disputes that the classical Machinist value of fighting for skilled labor is lost.
The change we seek would bring many of us back to your side. But the union has a policy of "no ears for non members." In 2007-2009 we selected the poison-pill tactic. If we must tolerate negative representation, then we share the joy. This is the new reality. You have to either fight us or help us. Fighting us costs you more, and gives you ulcers. You can earn our dues, and win our loyalty. But don't think that because we don't pay dues, we have no rights. We proved you wrong, even in defeat.

OOOOOkay, obviously someone has some anger issues.

To the http://www.newmediajournalblah blah blah "AFL-CIO Leader Accepts Communist
Party Award: ‘I Stand with Them’"

Yeah unions do follow socialistic views. So does the christian church. Read the book of ACTS chapters 2-4 & Matthew 20:1–16 Jesus set up the church to be socialistic. Look at Exodus,Leviticus, & Deuteronomy. Moses, who was leading Isreal did not have a democracy style government. Those who whined and opposed what God had commanded them, God killed.

So yeah just because unions as a whole may support those ideals the "local" is and should be about doing what is "best" for it's members. All of it's members not just a handful who aren't and want to complain.

I am a free American and I have no problem being a union member.
I won't support alot of the things the AFL-CIO or International want to do, but I will support my local and voice my comments and concerns especially for the best interests of our people.


Now for S.P.
Your comment "Just because we aren’t “citizens” of the union, doesn’t mean we aren’t legal residents by virtue of our employment" is valid, but we would like you (all of you) to be more than just legal residents. We would like all of you to be members with us.

Would you like to talk without all the peanut gallery posts? I am willing to send my e-mail address to webmaster@iam933.net if you want to start dialog that will help.
Or do you also believe like those other posters that anything to do with this local is evil & will only result in doom?

"if all of our politicians put the needs of every other country above our own?" Haven't they?! Let's see;
Billions in FOREIGN AID to countries that refer to us as "infidels" and despise the western culture of democracy and freedom.(But they gladly take the checks!)

Regulations that foster the exportation of our jobs and livelhood. Forcing restrictions on industries in every field to look outside our borders to achive success and growth.

Passing laws and levying taxes which THEY are exempt from.

If they WERE looking out for us, and LISTENING to us, THERE WOULD BE NO NEED FOR A TEAPARTY!

Again this union cannot focus on the issue at hand; Pay Disparately. Instead you call us terrorist that harm your happy commune. The issue of Cha Cha and the tester is their issue and not that of the oust movement. Either fix the pay disparity or keep the ousties as never-ending critics to your Socialists club.

This is a very poor analogy. As I recall MOST Christian churches don't DEMAND payment for membership, nor turn away when asked for help by NON-PAYING individuals.

"Wage disparity?????

"It's flat out not our responsibility."


As a member the bargaining unit, it IS your organization's responsibility to bargain on my behalf in good faith. "To be represented by properly authorized representatives who are prepared to discuss and negotiate on any condition of employment."

Even though I did not choose those representatives, by law, they MUST represent the entire bargaining unit. That's all 49% of us represented by IAM933

Deciding to screw over members of your own organization to "get back" at those who have opposed you is also an unfair labor practice. Did you not know that?

Uninformed labor unionists are very dangerous.

It talks of nothing but useless crap on both sides of an issue, read the May 3 2010 fortune 500 magazine and you'll see the biggest profit making trends for all Major corporations is how much they are cutting back I.E. salaries,jobs, benefits, pensions,etc.

Your pitiful arguments of money has nothing to do with the union, who is or isn't a member, who did or did not cross the line, but how stingy your employers are. Too many of you can't see the forest through the trees and have lost sight of the one thing most important.

Proving to your employer that without treating you better in all areas wages benefits etc... they will lose business. So far all any of you have done is make your employer happier in the knowledge you will destroy your own workforce so they can downsize even more for cheaper labor and more profit. If you cannot unite yourselves whether being union or not, you have already lost and should abandon the blog for the sake of not giving your employer any more ammunition to use against you!

Raytheon is going to lose production in Tucson not because of a union; it is going away because they want cheaper labor. A union is just a plausible excuse, so if we want to keep production in Tucson do we sell our dignity?

You lost focus on the intent of the blog and the oust movement. Our beef is not with the company it is with the pitiful representation this union provides us. Yes companies will trim cost through labor and streamlined production procedures. They have to do this in order to survive a poor economy or to maintain their competitive edge. They have to lookout for their equity holders that have in good faith have put their money into this business. If you have a 401k with Raytheon stock or hold certain mutual funds with Raytheon stock you are one of those holders. This company is no different on cutting cost as other companies.
As stated again and again before this union provides nothing in the way of proper wage representation for certain high level hourly jobs. Your union believes we should be all one large family making the same wage. This may work in a communist country however it will never work in a free market society.
Your own people in charge are dummying down job requirements for certain jobs that cannot be filled due to the low wage offering. These union people are in effect helping the company maintain the low cost of labor while homogenizing the job requirements as a whole. They have in fact devalued our job.
Yes companies will cut cost through wages and layoffs however why should we have third rate third party organization cripple the value of certain jobs at the expense of satiating the greed of lesser skilled. WE DON’T NEED HELP THROUGH YOUR UNION! You got it now?

In a small town in Veracruz a tourist observed a local fisherman with great curiousity and fascination. The fisherman, everytime he would catch a crab, would look at the colors, eyes, and belly, before placing it in one of two pots.

After hours of watching the Mexican fisherman repeat the same task over and over again, the tourist noticed one pot was always covered immediatly with a lid and two stones, while the other was left open. No longer able to contain his curiousity, the tourist walked over, greeted the kind, old fisherman and requested an explanation of his criteria for the crab and pot selections.

The fisherman seemed to think it was obvious, but gladly explained. All foreign crab must be placed in a pot and covered immediatly. He explained they are strong and wise, if the pot were not covered, they would quickly form a pile to help and insure every last one escape from the pot.

As the tourist looked at the other pot, he noticed a lone crab just make it to the top of the pot, before he was pulled back into the pile by the other crabs. Confused, the tourist, began to question the fisherman, but before he could, the old man explained. The crabs were Mexican and did not need to be covered, for they would themselves assure that no one crab would make it out of the pot.

Jesus and a Union Guy

Two managers and a union worker were fishing on a lake one day, when Jesus walked across the water and joined them in the boat. When the three astonished men had settled down enough to speak, the first guy asked humbly, "Jesus, I've suffered from back pain ever since I took shrapnel in the Vietnam war...could you help me?" "Of course, my son", Jesus said, and when he touched the man's back, he felt relief for the first time in years. The second man, who wore very thick glasses and had a hard time reading and driving, asked if Jesus could do anything about his eyesight. Jesus smiled, removed the man's glasses and tossed them in the lake. When they hit the water, the man's eyes cleared and he could see everything distinctly. When Jesus turned to heal the union worker, the guy put his hands up and cried defensively, "Don't touch me! I'm on long term disability."

A brilliant, hard working, 0ustie, goes to H.R. in search of a Management position. As he looks through all of the openings, He finds one that says he must take a class first and will be Guaranteed the job. Money Back Guarantee! (Comes with complete instructions).
The 0ustie excitedly looks around to see if anybody's watching and whispers softly to the H.R. rep, "I'll take this one." The H.R, rep signed the 0ustie up and said, "Just follow the instructions carefully."
The 0ustie nods, grabs the material, and is quickly on his way home. As soon as he closes the door to his apartment, he takes out the instructions and reads them thoroughly, doing exactly what it says to do, he studies diligently. Three months later takes the test passes with flying colors.
The 0ustie goes back to H.R. applies for the Management position and gets turned down. Angrily he returned to the H.R rep who sold him the study guide and demanded his money back. The H.R rep asked if he followed the directions explicitly. The 0ustie insisted he did. The H.R. rep asked if he would repeat everything that happened in the interview and said “well there’s your problem!” “Don’t worry” the H.R. rep said, “I too was a former oustie so listen to me! Cause I'm only going to show you how to do this one more time. First put on your knee pads, then get on your knees and open your mouth really wide then…..”

Four men were bragging about how smart their dogs were.

The first man, an engineer, had a dog named "T-Square". The second man, an accountant, had a dog named "Slide-Rule". The third man, a chemist, had a dog called "Measure". The fourth man was a Union member.

To show off, the engineer called to his dog, "T-Square, do your stuff." T-Square trotted over to a desk and, with a pen, promptly drew a circle, a square and a triangle onto some paper.

Everyone agreed that that was pretty good. The accountant, though, insisted his dog could do better. He called to his dog and said, "Slide Rule, do your stuff." Slide Rule went out into the kitchen and returned with a dozen cookies. He proceeded to divide the cookies into four equal piles of three each.

Everyone agreed that that too was pretty good. The chemist, though, proclaimed that his dog could do even better. He called his dog and said, "Measure, do your stuff." Measure got up, walked over to the fridge, took out a quart of milk, got a ten ounce glass from the cupboard, and then poured exactly eight ounces into the glass without spilling a drop.

Everyone agreed that that was pretty good, as well. Then, they all turned to the Union member and said, "Hey, pal, what can your dog do?"

The Union member stood up, called his dog and said, "Coffee Break, do your stuff." Coffee Break jumped to his feet, ate the cookies, drank the milk, shit on the paper, screwed the other three dogs, claimed he'd injured his back while doing so, filed a grievance report for unsafe working conditions, put in for Workers' Compensation, and then went home on sick leave.

You and your little clan are affiliated with them. Since you are challenged in English language affiliation is defined as the act of affiliating; state of being affiliated or associated.

Are you saying that 90 percent of your members don’t agree with them? I thought your union was based upon a democratic principle. If the majority of you union members don’t agree with them then why doesn’t your union vote and disassociated with the AFL-CIO? Is it because they are kind enough to let you use their facilities? You may want to use their lawyers next contract time so we hourly don’t get screwed any more by your negotiators. Your clan is very adept at flinging crap out both sides of your mouths. And that is why your union and unionism as a concept is destined to extinction.

What evil is this, that I must hereby converse with the archdaemon troll Ramon. I have seen soggy Weety-bix exhibit more verve, more wit, more sparkle, more joi de vie than you even in your most animated moments. Do you not realise that the world would be an infinitely better place, one in which we could all happily exist, if only you didn't? 'Hate' implies some sort of interaction between the subject and object. I suspect it's a word I cannot use in your context. Can one hate an inanimate object, a vacuum, a nothing? If indeed that is possible, then yes, I suppose I hate you. I certainly loathe and detest you. I have seen mange ridden, bulimic dogs eat things that are of more worth to the world than your self. I wonder at your ability to imitate something organic. It is so mindlessly cunning. Personal hygiene. They are not words you are terribly familiar with are they? Still, this ignorance can possibly lead to good. Raise your arm and stick your nose in your armpit. Now breathe deeply. Soon you will lose consciousness. Your head is filled with the dust from the half-dozen or so thoughts you have managed to snare within your lifetime. If you once had any redeeming quality, it has been strangled and garrotted by your other brutish traits. I have sometimes thought that one day righteousness might be restored in the world by some simple act, such as you swallowing your tongue. But alas, I fear you are too busy flapping it in the breeze to ever swallow the horrible truth. I have seen more convivial things than you wrapped up in newspaper in overfull bins at the fishmarkets. I cannot continue with this epistle. What is the point? You are so stupid you probably don't realise these strange black markings called letters are imbued with meaning.

One day two 0usties, Dave & Steve decide to go out diving for seafood.
They quickly manage to fill up a sack of seafood so Dave decides to take it back to shore & grab another sack to fill.
Steve is out at sea all by himself when he see's a shark coming towards him.
Frantically he calls out to his friend Dave who is still at shore, "Bro Help me Help me there is a shark heading straight for me."
Dave calls back "Yeah Im coming bro"
Steve is freaking out, the shark swims right up to him & bites off his leg.
Again he is calling out to Dave who is still at the shoreline "Bro come and help me, the sharks bitten off one of my legs.
Dave yells back "yeah hold on Im coming!!"
Steve tries to stay calm and wait for his brother but then the shark bites off one of his arms.
He yells back to his brother Dave "Hurry!! Come and help me the shark has bitten off my arm and my leg."
Dave calls back "Hold on Im coming!!!"
Then the shark bites off his other leg, Steve yells " Dave you have to come & save me. The shark has bitten off both my legs and an arm."
And as usual Dave replies. "Just wait Im coming"
The shark then bites off Steve other arm.
Now Steve has no arms or legs.
His brother finally arrives to save him.
Come on bro, get on my back & I will swim you back to shore.
When they get to the shoreline Dave says with an exhausted sigh "Man I feel like I’ve been fucked"
And Steve replied "Well I had to hold on some how!!!"

A cowboy named George was overseeing his herd in a remote valley in Arizona, when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced toward him out of a cloud of dust.

The driver, a young black man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, RayBan sunglasses and YSL tie, leaned out the window and asked the cowboy, "If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, will you give me a calf?"

Joe looks at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, "Sure, Why not?"

The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects it to his Cingular RAZR V3 cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo.

The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg, Germany. Within seconds, he receives an E-Mail on his Palm Pilot that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses an MS-SQL database through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with an E-Mail on his Blackberry and, after a few minutes, receives a response. Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet printer, turns to the cowboy and says, "You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves."

"That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves," says George.

He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on with amusement as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.

Then George says to the young man, "Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my calf?"

The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, "Okay, why not?"

"You're a union, er, community organizer named Obama!", says George.

"Wow! That's correct," says the yuppie, "but how did you guess that?"

"No guessing required." answered the cowboy. "You showed up here even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked. You used millions of dollars worth of equipment trying to show me how much smarter than me you are; and you don't know a thing about how working people make a living - or about cows, for that matter. This is a herd of sheep. ...


Now give me back my dog."

Let's put this blog back on track!

Last summer, unions spent an estimated $10 million on the Democratic primary in Arkansas in a failed attempt to defeat then-Senator Blanche Lincoln. It was $10 million worth of their members’ dues that was wasted. Unions did not waste their members’ money because Blanche Lincoln opposed higher wages or better benefits. Union bosses wasted their members’ money because Blanche Lincoln fell out of union bosses’ favor for not by backing the job-killing Employee Free Choice Act (aka card-check).

On the mid-terms, unions spent hundreds of millions on voter registration, campaign donations, TV ads, manpower and GOTV efforts. Nearly all of that money went to union-bought Democrats.

In 1988, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that union members who object to having their union dues spent on politics can get a refund for the portion of their dues used for politics. Since then, however, many union members have found the process of getting their dues refunds an burdensome process.

This week, at CPAC, Republican Saul Anuzis (a former member of the Teamsters) announced the launch of a new website specifically designed to give union members assistance in getting refunds for the portion of their dues used on politics. It is not "anti-union," it is a site with one purpose; to help union members who do NOT want their dues money used on politics, regardless of party.

Your union is riddled with several failures through the years. Contract 2003 should have stuck; You DIDN’T! Contract 2006 you should have of accepted contract; You DIDN’T! You had to have a strike due to 2003 contract and wanted respect. Contract 2009 you accepted weak contract; You didn’t want to lose any more members. You still expect us to join your Klan however instead of reason or rational discussion you instead ostracize us, damage our property, and threaten us on this blog. How can you demand respect from the salaried employees and those of us not following you when you stage your stupid knuckle dragging march down the hallways before contract negotiations? Most of us come in to work because it is our job and we like our work however your union seems to promote misery for the workplace by your constant nit picking about how unfair the world is treating you. This is a Right to Work state and given your mode of operation most of us if not all of us will never come to your side. If you want a purified union concept than please leave and go back to California or other union friendly states. We won’t miss you. Your union is a failed concept that should go away. Please.

It seems to me that many of those same arguments are valid in this discussion of this weak and ineffective private-sector union we have here.

Anyone hear of a rumour about metrology being outsourced starting 8/12/2011?

""Good news for you maggots. After 8/12/2011 you will no longer need a petition,your website or your pitiful meaningless blog.Now the countdown may begin! 213 days and counting...Goodbye""

Again with Ramon and his doomsday forecast. I hope he figured out what a resume is and filled one out. Good luck Ramon you'll need it.


BTW the blog is not about metrology. It is about your lousy union that is throwing our jobs out the window.

The fact it has yet to be implemented continues to keep the concept a rumor.

To get his HS diploma?

Good!
We need to get rid of CEP and Ramon is the one to do it.

Frank Galka did it. Anything goes with this union.

CEP is a shell of it's former self, as is Ramon.

Seems like a marriage made in heaven.

Over a week, and nothing posted?

Is this some sort of record?

Should we put a stake in it and call it well done?
