There is talk all the time about corruption in 301 and federal investigations, but nothing ever materializes? What is the truth, or are people just posting vicious rumors? Nobody has been found guilty of anything.
On day one we are going to work.
That was said by our union reps that got voted in and appointed in. But yet they go golfing, show up at the hall late. They are busy shifting the click boyz around the shop to hide the brainwashed losers. Where is my layoff slip?
The only thing going green in Schenectady are the jobs
From the local newspaper- jobs are going bye bye I’m ready for my pink slip. General Electric in September 2020 said it would stop building new power plants that burn coal, which typically have a large carbon footprint. In response to the union’s... — read more
Manufacturing is an afterthought
Everyone keeps making the mistake that GE is a manufacturing company. It's not, it's a finance and services company. Bulk of profit comes from financing and services, that's the bottom line. So they focus there and actual supply chains and... — read more
It has been a spooktacular year for the 301 in Schenectady

Update
Any updates from Cincinnati?
This shouldn't have amused me as much as it did
I quit last week and when I notified my manager he was genuinely shocked that I was leaving. Even though I was never silent about my dissatisfaction with my job and lack of career progression. He just didn't believe I'd dare and do it. He then tried... — read more
Do they even know what they are doing?
Our "leadership" very often seems so lost and as if they don't know what they are doing. It's a real miracle that GE is not sinking even faster. I may not be right, but it doesn’t seem to me like they have a clear vision and goal for this company. — read more

What games will there be after the jab chaos
Layoffs for 273 and building 66? Work is slow orders are way down in steam people being moved around. I’m saying about 80-100 will loose their jobs because of the jab and that will leave another 20-40 for layoffs. No vRips and no Seros this jab... — read more
The vaccine walkout in Schenectady
Looked like a super spreader event, there was no social distancing no masks going on. They should all be fired!
Schenectady Campus short staffed after the mandate firing
Orders are down and GE will not have to layoff after all these members get fired. GE might have to hire after this
Don't Blame GE
People here are blaming GE for requiring vaccinations, but they forget that this is an executive order from the President. GE relies heavily on federal contracts and therefore must comply with the executive order. Without these federal contracts a... — read more
GE Gas Turbines Continue to be JUNK
GE Greenville has lost so many experienced people due to VRIPS that more and more quality and design problems have resulted. BUT, getting rid of those salaries looked good on someone else's metric. Some leader that got a "numbers" bonus has already... — read more
VRIP's
What are the chances that the company gets the number people they're looking for to retire? I'll bet they won't hit 25%.
I don't get it
How do we have people who have been here for more than five years and who have no idea how to do their jobs AND who manage to survive every round of layoffs despite having no idea how to do their jobs? I think in any normal company those people would... — read more
Schenectady Vaccinations
Per the CDC, 86.2% of adult New Yorkers have at least one vaccine dose. Looks like the remaining 14% work for GE in Schenectady.

Im going to use the religious clause
General Electric will require all U.S. employees to get vaccinations for COVID-19 by Dec. 8. Disclosed to company employees late last week, the move by the Boston-based conglomerate aligns the company with the White House's Safer Federal Workforce... — read more
Keeping marketable and keeping skills sharp
I hear more and more that people who have been in GE for a long time are less marketable, not only because they are older, but also because their skills are no longer sharp. Why do some people think that the problem is not only with the employees and... — read more

Did anyone go to the layoff meeting at the hall?
I didn’t go and would not waist my time with that rubbish and lies from the hall. I had better things to attend to. Any hints or vibes from the hall on the layoffs that are coming? And how many? Or just a bunch of I don’t know for answers? — read more

I want a refund on my union dues
The 301 does not provide Union backing or job security. The Union allows the company to change negotiations mid contract to save jobs for a few months. This Union is in the company’s pocket because at the end of an agreement the layoff still happens... — read more
Just like DxC...

Who runs this site??
Just curious as to who controls this site? Seems like anytime I talk about the scumbags we work with, especially union delegates, my posts get deleted. Just trying to tell the people the truth about their so called "union brothers."
Cute slogan & Commercial
We’ve come up with a cute commercial and catch phrase - all in hopes of swaying GE to bring Jobs back from over seas. Little late , Huh ? This should have been done prior to work leaving, at the very first sign of the company considering moving work... — read more
Mandatory COVID shots is one way to thin the herd!
GE needs to go to mandatory COVID vaccines for all employees to protect all the overweight, out of shape employees. It will also help thin the herd instead of having to do layoffs. And since it will be a volunteer quit, the company doesn't have to... — read more

Cameras or layoffs
Is the question of the day. How many knew of this on the floor? Not me!
Lights, Camera, action!
Did the union agree with the company to put cameras at all work station? Is the union going to say it’s for our safety?
Morale in Schenectady-
Many say it’s bad, the T’s are always complaining. Nothing with change here GE is a great company and has been for over 100 years. GE brings good things to life. GE brought in the T rate scale and brought all the T’s from making $10hr up to $60k-$80k... — read more

Another day of me not having my materials to do my job and standing around and getting paid for it. My Guess is I have to get use to it seeing how job cuts are on the way. I’m sure the union has a clause to allow people from 66 to bump into 273. — read more
