Bring your toothbrushes to work so you can re-enact the scene in Stripes where Bill Murray scrubs down the toilets with his own toothbrush. The Consolidation Agreement allows such things. No more setting on your tail declaring what job is yours and what isn't.
Grab your toothbrushes! Loving it as a Manager!

Life after GE is great!! Other companies will love your skills.
@7cel+1oV4FBEJ Well I see we have a true company man here. I’m sure the company feels the same way about you as you do for the company. Ha I think not! When you’re walking off the property for the last time you will think twice about your poor and resistive mind set. Preach on is all I have to say. Fill a backlog in an area where people are not trained or qualified. Safety first
Curly fries and pickles? Surely our blue collar work force is more skilled than ketchup squeezing burger flippers. Get a better anology guys...
Idle labor is the ultimate enemy of productivity. the greater the flexibility of the work force, the higher the productivity. Contracts need to allow for flexibility, NO ONE owns a job role, companies need to train and assign workers to flow to where they have a need. I've worked previously at plants where when a machine goes down the crew, by contract, goes to a break room and waits it out. Or better yet, flex the idle workers to another department to relive a backlog and then have an employee from that deptartment or the union file a grievance to the affect that they are "taking their work and OT away" Hence something like the CA was needed...BIG TIME.
I bet you are loving it as a manager and I’m glad you feel that way about the membership. As a manager you’re lacking skills in human interactions. Also seeing how your responsibility is safety and quality for the membership and the better for the business. It seem like as a manager your vindictive with a splash of some Narcissist behaviors and actions. Don’t worry I’m sure GE/Verona will figure it out and walk you to the front gate soon. I’m loving it as a union member and will be waving to you when I ride into my stable career.
@5huo+1oV4FBEJ- Yeah it’s like taking the curly fry guy of the curly fry station and putting said employee on the pickle placer station. The curly fry guy will be placing either not enough pickles or too many. The Repercussions, our poor quality and loss of product. Now the pickle placer that was moved to curly fry station is cooking to many curly fry’s and burning the product. Repercussions loss of quality and product and profits on both ends. All for a buck more an hour.
The CA agreement ruined the quality and masterful skills a person develops by doing the same type of position day in and day out. It is a skilled trade these jobs contrary to what newer the management thinks. Just because a union guy makes it look easy doesn’t mean anyone can do these job specific trades with minimal defects. So for a buck they ruined the union and quality. I like what I see here these days.
@3tcz+1oV4FBEJ, wrong "little one". effort is being withheld because you don't like the CA. why didn't the membership just vote it down then?
Its not about working or not working when you should be...thats bs. Since the consolidation agreement we cant seem to get a job out on time. FACTS. This is a management problem.
Why shiver me timbers!
