Morning kiddies

First full day of my forced vacation from the land of caterpillar Aurora IL. my employer. Seems because over the years as they keep consolidating facilities and then moving our Cab production to Mexico we have been having on time shipment issues for our build. So their perfect idea to weather this storm is to force us off until Tuesday May 16th. and hopefully they can get caught up on Cab production to send to us and we can get back to work on our already past due orders. Oh and by the way the Aurora IL. facility is scheduled to close full production by the end of 2018 anyway. Because it's other one of those well thought out consolidations that seems to be working so well for them.

We have in the contract (our new one just agreed to in March of this year) that we'll be paid the equivalent of 4 hours pay for each day were are off do to things like this. But the company told all of the effected parties they will not get paid for this time off unless they take a vacation day, or a personal day. Now granted taking those pays more, but is clearly a violation of the new contract to have to use our earned time to make up for their short-comings in managing their operations. Thus the union has filed a group grievance and is ready to take it all the way to arbitration if needed.


Sorry for the wrong read.
