Statement on UAW meeting with Honeywell; union files NLRB action
Today,
the UAW met with Honeywell to resume bargaining. The union came
prepared to bargain and made proposals addressing the concerns UAW local
memberships have with Honeywell’s final offer. The company
brought no new proposals to settle the lockout.
Further,
after a two-month delay in allowing the union access to its South Bend,
Indiana, facility, Honeywell frustrated the union’s efforts by not
living up to its legal obligation to allow a comprehensive
health and safety review -- a review that is vital to our ongoing
collective bargaining. Today, the UAW filed an action with the National
Labor Relations Board to make Honeywell follow the law and allow our
experts to conduct a full health and safety review.
The
UAW continues to demand that Honeywell end the lockout, return our
members to work, and bargain in good faith to reach a comprehensive
agreement.

Senator
Joe Donnelly has sent a letter to the corporation demanding that
Honeywell come to the table and bargain in Good Faith.
Where
is Representative Walorski in all this she has remained quiet maybe
because she has taken at least $10,000 dollars from Honeywell for her
re-election campaign.
Candidate
Coleman has been on the picket line with the LOCKED OUT WORKERS, while
Honeywell was just rewarded a new government contract.
I just heard the story of a workers wife while on her cancer treatment was thrown off their Insurance coverage.
Isn't
this a death sentence to this family? Representative Walorski's new
campaign commercial shows how she intervened for a veteran, but where is
she in helping over 300 families living in her district? Nowhere to be
found remember to VOTE
In solidarity
Joe Carbone
