    John Deere strike imminent?

    Not only would you have to be certified as a welder but you would need hundreds of welders for all the different parts. A few people cannot do it by themselves. Like you said It’s not same as welding in your garage as a hobby. There’s a thing called osha that deere would have to abide by too.

    John Deere strike imminent?

    It’s a very complex operation that runs smooth with all the pieces in place. There are literally thousands of parts that goes into these machines. Some are outsourced and some are made in house. If one part is missing the line shuts down. Most of the departments in the Ankeny plant have been...

    John Deere strike imminent?

    How are you going to train hundreds of accounts to weld overnight? That seems a little dangerous not to mention the quality of the welds for a 1/2 million dollar equipment. That is just one example

    John Deere strike imminent?

    That’s the rumor. All salaried and even some from Deere financials. If true, good luck with that! You need welders, Cnc operators, painters, inspectors, fork lift drivers, assemblers, etc. to build these machines at the Ankeny plant. I guarantee you it will take a minimum of 6 months to a year...

    Kirk Ferentz getting sued for being racist

    Is this really that hard to figure out? Seriously. if you are trying to find out if Blacks were singled out wouldn’t it be appropriate to find out if the White players were also treated the same way? It’s not like they interviewed 2 Black players and 2 White players. I am sure plenty of Black...

    Geez you believe every single white players but refuse to believe one black player. Despite the fact that Bill owed up to it and ISU was forced to settle. I think you might be a racist.

    This thread is better though cause everybody likes to bump it up to the top. Plus it’s relevant cause we are talking about a racist coach and the fans who support him.

    So it’s ok to be a racist only once? That is messed up. Wonder how many didn’t speak up. You sound like the guy that only cheated on your wife once.. wink...wink. But it’s ok cause you said you were sorry.

    The players were white and Bill easily could have use intimidation to coerce them to support him. Like you said he is a SOB. The only fact that’s relevant is that he called a Black player a thug in front of a bunch of white players and according to all the posters that makes him a racist...

    sounds like you are deflecting. Did you not asked me if I was ok with a racist coach? No, I am not ok with Bill. Bill berated one of the few Black players on the team and referred to her as a thug in front of other players. If you can’t admit that calling a Black player a thug, I can’t take you...
