John Deere strike imminent?
Headhunters or not, Deere knew they were heading to negotiating some solid increases for the wage group. You won’t ever be able to negotiate Deere farther than they were already prepared to go. As is their history, salaried employees benefit from Deere-UAW negotiations. In addition to wage... -

Union representation in a factory is all together different from the trades. The UAW has nothing to do with the hiring process. The Company does all screening and hiring and the union simply ends up representing the employees the Company hires. There is no “going to the union hall” to provide a... -

Deere has many manufacturing facilities around the world but mostly to manufacture product that meets various customer demand and match what the different countries needs are. Most of the products manufactured in Iowa or Illinois are sold here in the US. Some machines are for export but... -

The round baler pickers made in Ankeny are primarily sold to the domestic US market. They do build some pickers for export to China but they are the old style basket models. -

I was going to quit posting cause I was turning into that “get off my lawn” guy and I apologize for that. Reading through these posts about welding just reminded me of a good story.First though, Des Moines doesn’t weld stainless or aluminum, or anything that require air tight or water tight... -

I should probably clarify what I meant also. There’s probably no legal requirement to bring that back, but it’s in the unions best interest to bring it back and lay it all out again so rank and file totally understands the issues and offers. People can ***** about their leadership bringing that... -

Please tell me how agreeing to a tentative and bring it back to a vote stymied this process. Doing so allows the bargaining committee to go through every change in 1 meeting so everyone can hear the same questions asked and hear the same answer. Otherwise people would be passing rumors about... -

I would disagree with you on several points. The UAW Bargaining Committee is made up of the Presidents and Chairman from every UAW Local, along with support staff from the International Union i.e. actuaries, legal department, accounting expertise etc. The Presidents and Chairmen of these locals... -

Oh boy, another post from someone who has zero knowledge about the realities of how any of this process works. Your use of the words “union bosses” tips me off you have no honest question other than to throw out union bosses as a negative connotation. The Union Bargaining Committee can only... -

Just replying from my history but in 45 years of working and involvement in this area with Deere I have no recollection of an LOA ever being renegotiated or voted on in the middle of an agreement. We do have what we call “letters” in the back of the book but they are letters or memorandums of... -

Exactly right! Once that contract is ratified and workers go back there is no re-negotiating or going back in to redo anything whether economics or language until the next expiration date. Currently they have been working on a new agreement that, if ratified, will stand for 6 years. I personally...
