I just got laid off from Cessna..im wondering how long I can't collect unemployment benefits..any seasoned aircraft workers out there with experience in this matter? (Editors note: Typically, it's 6 months.)
Alan you talk about all the 'horrible' comments made about aircraft workers. You need to look at yourself in the mirror, you have made 'horrible' comments by degrading people.
Watching all of the posts I had to throw my two cents in. Union buster are a piece of work turning away people because they are former workers. You have no heart and one day all the things you say and do will come back and bite you someday. Will you turn me away because I'm employed with the Air force? No you would not, because you know they are skilled workers. So you turn away someone who has the right to be a union member and aircraft worker. Well thats fine your call. Remember all of that when you decide to fly on a plane and the people who can't get there child a toy or buy the ham for christmas built that plane to take your ungratefull heartless rump to the place you are going. I pray for you and hope you open your eyes and heart.
To Union Buster - we know who you are and we are watching - oh yes - we ARE watching. 8)
To Salina Lawyer, shoot I did'nt think we would have anyone lower than a union worker here but here you are. a) you do not know who I am. b) I have been around long enough to understand the game. c) Do you know when a lawyer is lying? Their lips will move! Ha
Say it with me - SPELL CHECK!!! I couldn't understand a dang thing you were trying to say..
Unemployment for me would be $424.00 per week. Without aircraft workers donating to charity, (food bank, operation holiday etc.), charity will be hard hit, then these VERY people putting down aircraft workers will have there hand out asking for the donations/handouts we give! Go ahead, bite the hand that feeds many and puts toys under the tree for you ingrates, and after all the horrible comments made about the aircraft workers, I hope they ALL stop giving, you do not deserve our help!! I know after this, I will no longer participate in "adopt a family for Christmas"!!! EVER!
To Union Buster! Discrimination is against the law. I will be keeping records and will be looking for individuals who you turn away because they are former aircraft workers.
So, i have a good job i work for government position and i am fine making $15 dollars an hour. i can pay my bills and have spending money... to all the union members out there if your not smart enough to save money to last then quit crying and find a job... atleast i have job security more than your unions can say!
to alan:why would you say that you can make more on unemployment,i dont see how when we only get a check once a week for 76$ well i know my house payment is far more then that.it is sad yes people are talking about things they know nothing.and also most of the workers are the ones who usaly give to holiday funds for others who can not aford thanksgiving and christmass. bu this year who is going to help the ones who have helped.hmmm
Oh by the way alan I am in a position to hire. Anyone whose last job was with an aircraft plant will not get a job here, I've already turned away three. ;-)
Must have hit a nerve alan? I say again after seeing the footage of the strikers on the line (you name the plant) you have no room to talk. Can't clean toilets, dig ditches... I'm in management and have union flunkies like you do these jobs, any monkey can be trained to do the jobs the mouth breathing union thugs do ah put rivet in hole pop, ah put rivit in hole pop, put rivit in hole pop, who hoo pay day!
you all are stupid people are losing their jobs
Why don't you imbecile hamburger frying non-union morons go crawl back to your roach infested one room apartments and cry in your beer there? We at Spirit and Boeing can make more on unemployment than you uneducated half wits make working full time at your non-union minimum wage dead end unskilled jobs. “Boo hoo hoo, I don't make half the money you union people make, and can't feed all my illegitimate brats, boo hoo hoo”! Might think about doing something you are qualified to do, go walk south Broadway or dig some ditches, clean some public toilets. LOL!!
Came from management from a transportation company, teamsters were able to unionize the company "nationwide". Kansas employees voted against it but had to comply. Within 5 years company filed for bankruptcy. Lots of folks hurt cause union would not allow givebacks. Now what good was the union? NONE! Unions had their time in the sun, now it is gone, along with the Steel industry, closly followed by the Auto industry (unless we are forced to bail them out too). Aircraft industry will be after that. I do not know what you rabid union sheeple think you are doing, you will be the death of the aircraft industry yet. Wait & see.
