CoVid 19 – A Facebook Video Worth Watching. No matter what you may think about the presenter.

On The Corporate Side:

Sure, GM and Ford – expect FCA to follow soon – have directed workers “who can” to work from home.

The problem IS: you cannot build cars from home so their policy is feeble at best.

And… You may actually KILL your workforce if you don’t provide basic protective equipment at each and every work station.

Also, most Universities and local schools have TOTALLY closed, as they truly understand how such action this is to protecting their communities.

On The Union Side:

Our UAW After cancelling the Financial Conference in San Antonio, Texas; implemented “Travel Ban”.

However,  earlier this week an e-mail was sent indicating that the “CLUW” (Coalition of Labor Union Women) Conference in Atlanta, Georgia was not cancelled, and yesterday women labor union activists from all around the country boarded planes bound for Atlanta to attend the CLUW Conference, and were not notified of the conference being cancelled until having arrived in Atlanta.

THIS IS IN DIRECT CONFLICT WITH THE “TRAVEL BAN” THE UAW SAID IT IMPLIMENTED!

Thus, what leadership is being exhibited is being contradicted and under-minded, and thus otherwise good policies FAILED and INEFFECTIVE!

FAILURE TO DEMAND – WORK STATION HEALTH AND SAFETY!

We need to keep in mind that all our UAW contracts have health and safety clauses contained in them. I can think if no greater threat to life itself than this CoVid 19 Pandemic.

Yet and still UAW members from virtually all types of occupations, Skilled Trades, Assembly Workers, Transportation Workers, Aerospace Worker, Office Workers, etc… Are being required to report to work during this dangerous, if not fatal, time of risk.

Other than wash your hands, our UAW leadership is mute on the protections and/or required safety equipment during this time. For example, under threat of Union-Wide Strike, why are there no demands of Corporations and Governmental Agencies to provide Medical Face Masks and Hand Sanitizers/Disinfectants, such as Purell, at every work station for each UAW member for as long as CoVid 19 remains a risk to life itself.

We find these contradictory, and failed “Travel Ban” policy, and the lack of demands for basic personal protections in the workplace to be not only appalling, but also a threat to the very lives of our members.

WE NOT ONLY DESERVE, BUT ALSO NEED PROTECTIVE MASKS AND HAND SANITIZER ON EVERY WORK STATION.

As such, failed and lacking leadership is totally unacceptable, and placing our Union at great liability for such failures.

UAW MEMBERS DESERVE BETTER – FROM OUR EMPLOYERS AND OUR UNION!!!

Interestingly enough, true leadership is not just about resolutions, special conventions or defending oneself from prosecution, but rather in the interest of the members!!!
