BMW RDC Bargaining Updates

BMW-RDC Update for 5/15/2024

Graphic with the UAW Wheel logo and the text "Bargaining Update."

Your bargaining committee met with the Company for five hours of bargaining and presented the company with three of the members’ demands.

1st Demand:  

New language demands acceptable and adequate restrooms for all employees. Including repairs to the Men’s facilities and additional facilities for Women who only have access to one stall in the facility and are forced to wait in line or walk to the front office.  We also demand access to hygiene products at no charge.

2nd Demand:

              Fix the flawed tardiness policy that allows BMW to discipline us for tardiness during inclement weather.

3rd Demand:

              Address the biased and unreasonable productivity standards being set & enforced by the company that are totally subjective based on the supervisors, without our input.

The company was not prepared with proposals of its own.

In response to our demands, BMW indicated they may be willing to address our concerns about facility maintenance and hygiene products.  But we haven’t received anything in writing yet.

Disappointingly, BMW management seems unwilling to give us meaningful input on quality or production standards. And outrageously, the company is not willing to treat our UAW sisters with basic dignity and respect by ensuring adequate restrooms where we work.

Your committee again reiterated that we are united on the following issues:

THE END OF WAGE TIERS AT BMW RDC – equal pay for equal work – everyone should be brought to Tier One.

HISTORIC GENERAL WAGE INCREASES DURING THE LIFE OF THE AGREEMENT.

COLA WAGE PROTECTION.

REAL PROFIT SHARING, NO MORE COMPANY DISCRETION.

NOT JUST A FREEZE ON HEATH CARE COSTS, BUT A REDUCTION IN OUR COSTS FOR MEDICAL INSURANCE.

ACCESS TO WOMEN’S BATHROOMS.

AND NO CONCESSIONS.

Of course, your Bargaining Committee outlined other priorities to the Company across the board, including health and safety, training, tardiness policy, and dozens of different subjects you have told us are your priorities.

We will return to the bargaining table on Tuesday, May 21, and Wednesday, May 22 to continue fighting for the record contract we deserve.

BMW-RDC Espanol Actualización para el 15/05/2024

Su comité de negociación se reunió con la empresa durante cinco horas de negociación y presentó a la empresa tres de las demandas de los miembros.

1ª Demanda :

Nuevo lenguaje exigiendo baños aceptables y adecuados para todos los empleados. Incluyendo reparaciones a las instalaciones para hombres e instalaciones adicionales para mujeres que solo tienen acceso a un puesto en las instalaciones y se ven obligadas a esperar en fila o caminar hasta la oficina principal. También exigimos acceso a productos de higiene sin costo alguno.

2ª Demanda :

              Arreglar la política defectuosa de tardanzas que permite a BMW disciplinarnos por tardanzas durante condiciones climáticas adversas.

3ª Demanda :

              Abordar los estándares de productividad sesgados e irrazonables que establece y aplica la empresa y que son totalmente subjetivos según los supervisores, sin nuestra participación.

La empresa no estaba preparada con propuestas propias.

En respuesta a nuestras demandas, BMW indicó que podrían estar dispuestos a abordar nuestras inquietudes sobre el mantenimiento de las instalaciones y los productos de higiene. Pero todavía no hemos recibido nada por escrito.

Lamentablemente, la dirección de BMW no parece dispuesta a darnos información significativa sobre los estándares de calidad o producción. Y, escandalosamente, la empresa no está dispuesta a tratar a nuestras hermanas del UAW con dignidad y respeto básicos garantizándoles baños adecuados donde trabajamos.

Su comité reiteró nuevamente que estamos unidos en los siguientes temas:

EL FINAL DE LOS NIVELES SALARIALES EN BMW RDC –igual salario por igual trabajo– todos deberían llegar al Nivel Uno.

INCREMENTOS SALARIALES GENERALES HISTÓRICOS DURANTE LA VIGENCIA DEL CONTRATO.

PROTECCIÓN SALARIAL DE COLA.

PARTICIPACIÓN REAL EN LAS UTILIDADES, NO MÁS DISCRECIÓN DE LA EMPRESA.

NO SÓLO UNA CONGELACIÓN DE LOS COSTOS DE ATENCIÓN MÉDICA, SINO UNA REDUCCIÓN DE NUESTROS COSTOS DE SEGURO MÉDICO.

ACCESO A BAÑOS DE MUJERES.

Y SIN CONCESIONES.

Por supuesto, su Comité de Negociación describió otras prioridades para la Compañía en todos los ámbitos, incluida la salud y la seguridad, la capacitación, la política de tardanzas y docenas de temas diferentes que usted nos ha dicho que son sus prioridades.

Volveremos a la mesa de negociaciones la próxima semana martes 21 y miércoles 22 de mayo para seguir luchando por el contrato récord que merecemos.
