Local ratification vote set
Union officials from Janesville will travel to Detroit on Tuesday for briefings on a tentative deal that would cut labor costs and change the way a union-run trust for retiree health care is funded.
Andy Richardson, president of United Auto Workers Local 95, and John Dohner Jr., the union’s shop chairman at General Motors, will get the contract’s details Tuesday and relay them to their local brothers and sisters Wednesday.
Local 95 members will cast ratification votes from noon to 8 p.m., Wednesday, at the union hall on Lafayette Street. Informational meetings have been scheduled for 1 and 4 p.m. that day.
Local 95 represents workers at the shuttered GM assembly plant in Janesville.

And I quote from JozeMozes... "I do not know if you take some type of perverse pride in being the know it all smart ass but your dribbling diatribe is tiring"..."you are undoubtedly a lost cause. Opinions are like buttholes. And my and others opinions here validate your lack of reasonable thought"... It goes on and on and on and on and on.
All this from someone that supports David J. Fogderud, that 66 year old guy from Beloit that calls himself a 'pastor'. Fogderud was ARRESTED for not cooperating with police during a traffic stop after two young boys reported a kidnapping attempt involving Fogderud.
Let's all get our dictionaries handy and use big words in our posts, like JozeMozes does. And let's all post weblinks (cause as we all know, those are always safe)
For a full list of JozeMozes's twisted comments, just click on its name to the left of its post (in the red font) after it tries to come-back with a 'witty, intellectual' response. No need for a weblink here, folks.

Unlike eCowards who suggest removal of idiotic posts I love when the Gazette leaves them so other can see how ridiculous and off topic they are.
We can read all of your pointless thoughts easily also: http://gazettextra.com/users/wesgonsin/c...
I tend to try to stay on topic and offer my opinion until unsavory persons such as yourself cannot help but join an otherwise intelligent conversation. Easy to get side tracked entertaining mean spirited people like yourself so full of vile and injecting your opinion regardless of who it offends. Sort of like the American Idol whining, lol. Some choose not to contribute to stories of no interest to them. I suggest you try that but you said it best here:
Quote Wesley "Won't care about how other people look at me for feeling this way (their opinions are useless, and I don't care)
I could just care less, anymore. I wish I was Canadian (and yes, I am looking into that, to)"
PLEASE by all means move to Canada. We need people who care about other peoples feelings here.

JozeMozes was laid off from two separate jobs in five months.
I think it has something to do with the attitude. People that gossip and talk smack behind fellow employees backs are always the first to go, and nobody likes a whiner.
Now, JozeMozes sits behind the keyboard all day, hunting for Gazette posters to slam from the safety of home. JozeMozes also is very into computer video games, so you know the type... An adult with an online gaming obsession.
I wish JozeMozes would have moved to Waukesha before being laid off from that last job....

What you do not understand rockstars is that UAW Local 95 is still comprised of Parker and Blackhawk Credit Unions, Mercy Clinic East, Abitec and Weiler. Why they need the UAW is beyond me. If I were Andy Richardson and John Dohner along with the other UAW (meaning GM) members holding on to their golden parachute positions that plant politics secured for them I would be looking for a new job. Word on the street is the other "UAW" members who are still currently employed are tired of the 2nd rate representation by people who used to work for GM. BTW, they know you are going to try real hard for them now their votes DIRECTLY pay your salaries. The UAW has turned into nothing more than another company in the middle cutting into the bottom line of Americans and good companies who live in homes attempting to compete with other countries whose labor resides in mud huts with no environmental laws. Sad really.

Honestly, at this point is a ratification necessary? I mean, what would voting against it be worth? Nothing.
