Wow

I wish they’d have done that for those of us who endured the Covid shutdowns..as a TFT, lost 18 weeks of work. While I’m happy for those that are getting the perks early… just saying that I wished they’d have done the same for us.

Well maybe there planning on laying people off soon 😆

They don't want to lose the new hires for C crew

So retro pay for short days??

Not only did they get hired on without having to work 90 working day now they get sub pay and short work week without a year seniority. This is unfair to all the members who had to work to get these benefits.

So we getting laid off???

These new hires have it sooooooo easy these days

Wish they could’ve done this during the start of Covid with your temps that were here for 3+ years before we even got SUB! But as always you want what’s best for the people after you.

Little late ya think? And haven't had any short weeks or lay offs in that time frame so far. Smh. Should of been a though well before now.

This is exactly what I needed.

They could put them to work on other areas that are in need of help

Now the uaw needs step up & fix 10 people that got discipline for doing what we was told when they told us 5 hrs & left
