"A work ethic like these two clowns will get you fired in record time..."
These two clowns are certainly beyond believable, but your comment indicates to me that you do not know what you are talking about.
It is absolutely madness what is going on in Companies with Unions these days. Stockholders be damned. Management is compliant. "Go along to get along" is a typical expression.
The Teamsters are the worst in my experience.

If they’re smart, IF they’re smart, they’ll go after the work rules and not the wage. This is why I want bankruptcy and not a bailout. Smaller, WAY more productive workforce to justify those wage and benefit packages.
The company will radically improve it’s bottom line and the unions can’t bitch about cutting wages. Let them bitch about the work rules and expose all the corruption and crap going on.

About 2/3 of all American workers do the same thing.Add my comments to those who say you are wrong. My company runs a large machine shop the guys in their 20's run between the machines to keep production up. It goes without saying the firm is nonunion.

they should do the same thing with cops and "overtime" pay. The biggest scam is the "disability" to some of the union firefighters. Every big fire, somebody decides on who gets to pull disability.
There are a lot of cops in their mid 40's to mid 50's that are "retired" and some in their 30's that are disabled ..... all living in Florida.
They should check it out. Unfortunately the reporters could get killed going after cops.

From the start of this mess I have always figured that the Justice Department was a better agency to solve the problem than the Fed Bailout.
But that takes a desire for truth which almost the entire government lacks!

Exqueeze me?! Rrizes and incentives to get people to show up for work?!
Note to Ford: They're getting a paycheck. If they don't show up to work, fire their a$$es. If you can't, move your dang operations to right-to-work states.

The best is the non right to work states where you have to join the union and pay dues or you don't work.
I drove a yellow cab part time in NYC in the 80's and had to pay 3 bucks a shift to the taxi drivers union for a ticket I had to hand in to the garage boss- no ticket, no cab. Needless to say no cab driver ever saw a thing from the cab drivers union.
Even in right to work states like Florida they try all kinds of outrageous BS like when the now incarcerated for fraud head of the Dade County teachers union got legislation introduced requiring all teachers to pay dues to the union even if they decided they didn't want to join, since the union negotiated for them.
It was barely defeated.

“Damn! Just Damn! I bet these two criminals are still pulling in the bucks while doing nothing productive to earn a dime.”
I know that I am late to the thread, but I am pretty confident that these two no longer work at Ford. I used a source to check their directory system and both of their names no longer exist in the Ford directory.
