Reply #131: My wife

[reformedrethug]

has worked for Honda for almost 25 years now. Yes Honda treats their associates pretty well. I bet you did not know this, when an associate is fired they have the option of going in front of a panel of associates to plead their case and try to get their job back. My wife has sat on several of these panel's and sometimes they find in favor of the associate and they are given their job back.

That is just one example of how they are treated. They also have pretty good benefits, company paid health care with NO weekly paycheck deductions, free uniforms, attendance bonus, profit sharing, 2 weeks a year of "free" vacation, 1 week between Christmas and New Years and July shutdown that is not charged to their vacation balance, yes it is paid.

The UAW has tried several times to get into Honda but each time they have not been able to win the vote. Each time my wife has received UAW information at home but has never received anti uaw propaganda at home. I let my wife make her own decision as far as the union issue goes. I grew up with my dad in the SteelWorkers union and I was a member of both the Teamsters and the Steelworkers union.
