Grievance Rep Report

Strattec Security

By 

Karl Schneider

                Orders are strong, we are currently at a build schedule of 230,000 locksets per week. This forecast is for the next four weeks. We have 38 members on layoff, 9 of which are voluntary. This does not include the 18 members that took the voluntary layoff to retirement. The recall dates are as follows:

bullet

   Piecework – October 2001

bullet

   Daywork – September 1978

            The Ford Q1 recovery is going very well. Ford is pleased with our initial corrective actions that are taking place. Every member that is involved in this should be proud of his or her efforts, I am.

            There was a quality concern in the assembly area of CSS Housings but it has been addressed and the overall quality of our products has been good. Just a reminder, if you are having problems with your machine or any piece of equipment that you use to do your job, be sure to notify your WGL. If your attempts are ignored, notify your steward or a member of the Bargaining Committee.

            I have been getting a lot of questions on former job rights. I will try to explain what your contractual rights are. If you are bumped into a different job or get recalled from layoff to a different job, you have former job rights and former shift rights to the job you were in before the bump or layoff occurred. Again this happens once you are back to work in a different job. For a more detailed explanation, see your steward or a member of the Bargaining Committee.

            In closing, I would like to say “thank you” to all the people who make my job easier.

            In Solidarity,

            Karl Schneider
