They'll also get bonuses based on performance. It will be the first raises for salaried workers since 2010. Last year, they got bonuses.<br /><br />Ford signed a contract with the United Auto Workers for its hourly workers last year that delivered bonuses, tying pay more closely to the automakers' financial performance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-20856287509194857922012-01-19T20:09:49.072-05:002012-01-19T20:09:49.072-05:00The pay rates for assembly line workers are set by...The pay rates for assembly line workers are set by union contract and include scheduled raises in pay.<br /><br />January 19, 2012 7:53 PM<br /><br />Ok, thanks.

Not a damn thing. What's wrong with saying, "New school, nice idea, but we don't have the money"? Not a damn thing.<br /><br />The people who got us into all these messes are mad that somebody might be interested in getting us out of them. How selfish can these power hungry people be? A newspaper is supposed to be a watchdog against that. Instead it's a willing accomplice as I see it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-78637164268756765632012-01-19T19:53:55.799-05:002012-01-19T19:53:55.799-05:00The FMC raises are for management personnel who ha...The FMC raises are for management personnel who have not had raises in a long time.

We could go on-and-on but the bottom line is that SBYnews is on-whole - fair and balanced. For the average working american - SBYnews gives a glimpse as to what is actually going on verses the DT's playing on people's emotions.<br /><br />Speaking for myself - it is refreshing to see SBYnews as an expression of 'Free Press' - something we haven't witnessed around here in several decades.Beezerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07630588835584531300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-57912821846791417082012-01-19T18:36:23.799-05:002012-01-19T18:36:23.799-05:00Right on Joe!Right on Joe!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-76403264931797431732012-01-19T18:14:06.385-05:002012-01-19T18:14:06.385-05:00Greg Bassett from the Daily Times blew his stack t...Greg Bassett from the Daily Times blew his stack today and came out of hiding to write an editorial about all kinds of stuff going on. He attacked the City Council over Paul Wilber. Then he attacked the County Council about Bennett Middle School. <br /><br />I just finished reading that garbage he wrote. And some woman was actually commending him for it, blah blah blah. I wonder if she works for him or ...something else.<br /><br />I have seen you and others talk ill of him before, this time I had the misfortune of seeing it firsthand.<br /><br />No wonder the majority of journalists suck nowadays if they have this kind of 'leader'. <br /><br />Not a good career move to be smarter than the boss I guess. Or maybe they just hire warm bodies. <br /><br />Anyway, I had my laugh for today now on to the news.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-25141909557119976442012-01-19T17:32:09.690-05:002012-01-19T17:32:09.690-05:00Thanks Joe for what you do and please just keep on...Thanks Joe for what you do and please just keep on keepin on - we never would get the truth if it weren't for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-57848305875663158502012-01-19T17:23:26.504-05:002012-01-19T17:23:26.504-05:00Absolutely!
