I wish I could remember which suburb there had that Ponderosa restaurant that was so good.

Jeffersonville?

Fuck, I want a chopped steak and fries now.

Jeffersonville is in Indiana, across the Ohio.  Never speak of that Yankee dingleberry of a town again. 

Maybe you're thinking of Jeffersontown?  I live in the next town over.

I was only driving trough, not studying the lay of the land.

Well so much for all that

Proposed contract concessions voted down by Kentuckiana Ford workers

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Kentuckiana's Ford workers have given their opinion on Ford's proposed changes to their contract. After 2 1/2 days of voting, an overwhelming 84% of UAW Local 862 members voted against the concessions wanted by the automaker.

Louisville Assembly Plant workers voted against a six-year wage freeze for both new hires and current workers. A source told WAVE 3 that new employees would have been paid $14.20 an hour for the next six years if the contract concession had passed, the same amount negotiated in 2007. Before that, newly hired workers would make about $25 an hour.

Also on the ballot, workers voted against a ban on strikes over the improvement of wages and benefits for the next six years. The source told WAVE 3 the rights for union workers to strike on other issues would not have been taken away. They could have still asked for an increase in their salary, but if the answer came back "No", then it would have gone to arbitration.

A third big issue on the ballot was the redefining of workers job descriptions. Under the current agreement, a welder is a welder and a pipefitter is a pipefitter. The new agreement would have mixed the jobs of workers, meaning a welder could have been asked to do a pipe fitters job and vice versa.

This is the 3rd time in two years the union contract was on the line. Rocky Comito, president of UAW Local 862, said he is not surprised about how the results came.

"I'd like to think that the silent majority might would have turned it around a different way, but evidently the members weren't happy with what the proposals were," Comito said.

As it stands, the current contract, which ends in 2011, still applies. Ford could renegotiate with the UAW.

Gettlefinger pwns j00.

I would say that I hope Ford just says "fuck you" and closes their plants here, but I don't think I want that many greedy, spoiled, unskilled rednecks just lazing around here.

The same thing just happened recently with Boeing placing a 2nd planned assembly line for the 787 in South Carolina instead of back in Seattle.

Unions are shooting themselves in the foot all over the place.

Union goons better not hope I ever get elected to Congress.  One of the first things I'll do is introduce legislation to repeal the NLRA.

Of course, I'll probably be murdered as soon as I make my intentions known.

You know what hurts worse?  Every day that goes by in which I'm denied my God-given right to be a Kentucky Colonel.

Personally I feel that expats should lose their Colonelcy.  Once I'm a Colonel I will introduce that notion to The Hon. Commander of the Order of the Kentucky Colonels Gov. Steve Beshear.

So hurry up and nominate me so I can get moving on that.
