This is just one way that white workers here are discriminated against just like their Black Co- workers. Look at the engineering position that is being filled Gary and his Senior management that goes out and hires from the outside instead of filling these jobs by workers here who are capable of being trained to do these jobs. Mean while decisions are now being made to move certain Black workers out and any White worker that can’t keep up with production. The feeling is that we will see this when we return from our next Holiday Break or it may begin before we go out for that break. The question we ask is which BLACK OR WHITE WORKER FEELS THAT THEY ARE NOT CAPABLE OF LEARNING THESE JOBS OR ABLE TO BE TRAINED FOR THESE JOBS? THIS IS DISCRIMINATION. Facts show that any plants that have a higher number of Black workers, the working conditions and pay are much lower than a plant that has more White workers. We also see who gets most favorable treatment at this division. The Union is fighting for fair and just pay and working conditions for all workers no matter who you are White, Black, or Mexican. Whether we are for the Union or not when we see the petition and are being asked to read it and sign it think of our working conditions and the cost of living now and the management we now work under. This is why we are asking workers also to wear something blue, not just for the Union only, but to take a stand against these working conditions. Just because we punch a clock each day to take care of our families this does not mean that we don’t have any RIGHTS OR GIVE UP ANY OF OUR RIGHTS AS WORKERS. We are encouraging all workers no matter who you are to go up and review your personnel file it is going to be very important in the near future for all to know what has been put in your file. Again we are encouraging workers not to sign any paper that is going to cost you your job. Whether it is your evaluation or write up for bad work please do not sign this paper. It will be used against you. A Worker fell prey to this last week and was let go Right in the winter and the before the Holiday Break. BONUS CHECK FOR CHRISTMASFor the last several years Gary Utzs and Senior management has stolen our Bonuses and we as workers have gotten nothing. It is time we demand to be given what we rightly earn we now know that our sister plant in Louisville Kt. Gets a bonus we also know that the Bosch plant in Missouri also gets a Bonus. We are all in the Bosch family we want to be paid as such. 401K IS THIS GOOD OR BADWhile this may look like a good deal and it is. Which one of us will be here to collect on this? No company makes any decision that doesn’t have a reverse effect on other worker somewhere else. We
want all workers to be able and sit down and discuss all the issues that we are
now facing at this division. We have put the facts out as they happen to each of
our co-workers. We are tired of seeing management mistreat some and give to
others. We are tired of this management treating workers like we are a piece of
property. We want to see us all lift ourselves up and feel good about coming to
work and doing the best job we can do and be rewarded for that. We who work on
the floor are not getting this with this management. We can change things
together and don’t let management divide us. Unions and other organization are
willing to come to our aide. Make a
commitment now to attend the next meeting that is being planed. IN
SOLIDARITY TO ALL !!! |
