I'm pretty sure that some of the employees who work here now in the past probably wouldn't even be able to get a job here due to lack of competence. Will standards continue to fall? It is difficult to work in a workplace that is becoming mediocre. —  read more 

Thanks to the board member that got me fired and the business agent that was useless and clearly still is. I now make more money at a job I've been at for less time then I did in the 9 years at greedy electric. Work 3 12 hour days and get paid for 40... —  read more

If the company wants cameras in the building we the union should vote! Right isn’t that what the union is for? Seeing how the T’s got nothing competitive out of this contract my vote would be no for cameras. It’s not for safety it’s to spy on us... —  read more 

We deserve our own cameras. We can buy them cheap online and sneak them into management locations. This is going to be fun fighting fire with fire. Finally we can be flies on the walls. One way streets are over for our aggressors. Empowerment forever... —  read more 

Zero posts before the ax fell. Odd for this board to be so, behind the news. Must have laid off anyone who posted here. Congrats, HR. Job well done. Page out of old homewrecker’s handbook.

Crickets! Thought this would be HUGE. Lol

Now that pot is legal in NY can GE test you and fire you for pot? And what about hiring can they refuse to hire if you have THB in you system?

Have to wait 2 more years and see what kind of crack pot deal this onion can muster up for the membership

Has this union ever negotiated a 2 year extension deal for Schenectady in the history of this union and company relationship? I’m sure it was originally a 1 year deal. Something fishy is going on here all these rumors on the floor. Is the place... —  read more 

So much confusion. Did I get a raise? We voted on the national extension. Do we get 6 and 6? That’s what we voted for. Do we vote again on this extension or is it over? Am I voted on someone else’s raise? Why haven’t the company had an all hands... —  read more 

GE don’t care about positive change neither does GE care about morale. Ge don’t care about you or your T rate vrs D rate at all they care about the bottom penny. They will not close the gap because they are doing everything they can to offset their... —  read more 

All this hiring will tilt the population...majority will be T rates once all this hiring is done. And then what....T's will run the show! We will take over leadership and take away the D's power! And then we will take the raise pool in 2 years and... —  read more 

All the NEW company has to do is say it’s not worth it let’s move it to another country like the EU or Canada. Unless the cry baby T’s can’t handle it then keep crying unfair labor practices. The American Dream is dead slave labor is the new norm in... —  read more 

Larger increases for T’s than D’s. D’s can just buy a new truck every 3rd year vs 2 years now

The Power segment’s revenues were up 9% year over year to $3,820 million. Organic revenues increased 11%. Higher transactional and aero-derivative service growth at Gas Power aided its performance. Orders were flat on a reported basis and climbed 1%... —  read more 

Expecting that something will change for the better at GM would make sense if we actually objected to the working conditions which generally don't suit us. However, how can we expect any change for the better when everyone shrugs their shoulders... —  read more 

THE PLAY BOOK *3 year plan!!! If they wanted to keep people happy and feel secure at their jobs. The company and union would not be coming back with this garbage contract for us in Schenectady. They are going to close it and I’m not talking about... —  read more 

I want security in a job a 2 year extension really sounds like they know that once Verona is here something is going down. Just got me thinking a lot about the security. Yes we are hiring in 273 and you should see some of the people they hired. They... —  read more 

All the GE facilities that are onionized are run basically the same. I say this because I worked at multiple facilities before I retired. GE loves to divide and conquer at the onset of the hiring process. This is done by the hiring of "yes" people... —  read more 

If the T’s don’t like it how many will leave? I’m sick of all this union company 2 tier pay games and false hopes. I for one don’t blame the union or CD I blame the greedy company that makes billions. With that said I am seriously seeking other... —  read more 

If you did the right thing. One of you would make a recommendation at the board meeting to remove the stipend checks. It is our opinion officer who fails to represent its members equally should not be paid additional money from our dues. They... —  read more 

Enjoy the sweat shop labor 2 years from now all your scared people will be unemployed.

Is the raise keeping up with inflation? Is the raise keeping up with this crazy healthcare premium? We keep giving and giving thinking the company will keep the 2 way street open. This is an embarrassment of representation for the individuals who... —  read more 

I know a lot will vote no but will it be enough

It will get voted in with around 70%-80% yes votes. Another blow to middle class America! I don’t want to hear any complaints from the floor. Get ready to work for sweat shop labor pay.

……why don’t we get a 15% raise? Company handed over a 9% raise said you split it how ever you want if you don’t take it we will close Schenectady? Is that what’s going on? Last thread was getting good. Now it’s gone!! Well layoffs must be on the way... —  read more 

We all have 1 vote each to use. If I don’t like the contract if the contract does not show pace with inflation Then I’m voting NO. If the contract does not offer better healthcare then I am voting no. Simple!

This person sounds like this GE worker is so far up his bosses backside it isn’t funny. Sounds like this person is identifying as a backside li---r. Sounds like this person like the fact and accepts the fact that GE makes millions and billions and is... —  read more 

Thought the CAS show was over? Guess Burnover doesn't care and is willing to install cronies.

This column has been silent for a while. Either everyone who normally posts here has been laid off, or they are finally doing their jobs and working. Probably just scared about the contract negotiations and the expected weak contract.

With the spin of Vernova and the combination of Gas + REN shouldn't there be a plethora of layoffs?

GE LEAP 1C will be replaced in 2 years!
