I was 19 years old when I started at Belvidere assembly…..I was there over 10 years when Covid hit and fucked everything up. Did my time and took 8 years to get up to top pay. They cut 3rd shift….then 2nd shift….I barley made the cut on 1 shift. Then they slowed the line down to basically a skeleton crew…..then moved the product to Mexico. We were the the #2 plant in quality in North America of out of the big 3. Most of us got a letter in the mail…..transfer or lose all of your benefits/insurance in 2 weeks. Electric cars are not good for 90% or the public and definitely not good for the workforce. I loved my time there and enjoyed what I did and built every car like it was mine. Management truly doesn’t give a fuck about quality and it’s all about quantity. Sad they are willing to give up thousands of workers who actually know what they are doing to save a few bucks after billions in profit. Hopefully the the strike gets them the significant wage increases most of them deserve and most importantly some job security.

Anyone looking for real answers to the whole strike deal and anything regarding the UAW…I’m the guy…I did over 10 years building jeeps…no connection or anything to the company now…especially after they fucked me.

Anyone looking for real answers to the whole strike deal and anything regarding the UAW for Guy I’m working for is based out of Elkhorn,WI. Does great work. It’s an hour drive for me, but I really wanted to learn a trade and he gave me a chance so I’m sucking it up for now.

About as far North of Illinois as you can go.

UAW was also stupid as fuck to endorse Biden….dumb as fuck to endorse him to begin with but even dumber to endorse him pushing all the EV BS that’s still at least 10 years out…..

I went to a Mopar plant out near Boston,MA. Loved it and it was like a country club compared to the assembly line. I got my transfer money and hit the road. The cost of living and housing was insane out there. Couldn’t afford to live there with a family to provide for. I got lucky and am an apprentice for an electrician now. Will be more money in the long run. But i definitely miss the people.

Hopefully the the strike gets them the significant wage increases most of them deserve and most importantly some job security….I’m not saying a lot of these jobs are “skilled” but it’s definitely a lot more then the general public thinks….especially when they think the price of new cars is due to the people building them….that’s just comical.

It’s definitely been a while. He sure is as well as my daughter who is going to be 2 in November. Been off work a lot this year thanks to covid and all the parts shortages. Been enjoying a lot of time with them but I can say I’m actually ready to get back for good I think 😂

Thanks. His venmo account is @N20iroc for anyone else wanting to do the same.

Anyone know if N20 first name is David? Believe I found his venmo account.

I’ll search and see if it’s the same as his PayPal info. Just want to make sure it gets to the right person.

Do you know is Venmo info Ben? That’s all I have and prefer to use that. So sorry Jay, just terrible news. Stay strong man

Few more pics I ran across.

That’s correct as far as what I have read.

I did not but my buddy I work with lives less then a mile from it. He said he heard it walked out and felt the heat from it. From what I heard the smoke in the air was a good 40 miles long. There saying 5-7 days before it’s totally burnt out.
