On BTC instructors' pay going up
Posted on February 19 at 5:45 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
The entire admin staff at BTC is laden with overpaid arrogant people, (just look for Eric Larson in his car some day and take a peek at the license plate), why shouldn't the teachers, the ones that really do all the work at BTC, get paid just as well. The increases won't even bring most of them close to the salary Gohlke and other admin are earning.
Remember the article about the title change to for Gohlke and a couple of other job titles a year or so ago. Huge increases in salaries were given with the title changes but no apparent added responsibilities. The teachers are the ones doing all the work there, please don't complain about their pay. I'll bet most of the full-time teaching staff spends 60+ hours a week doing their jobs. That comes out to about $22/hr at 68k a year. Less than what a line worker at GM was making. Cut them some slack. Don't forget, our tax dollars pay for the admin too and the board always seem to approve pay raises for them, this truly is taxation without representation.
On Grainger to lay off 50 here

Funny how the article posted about LSS laying off 50 people seems to have just disappeared from this website. Who at Grainger/LSS is paying the Gazette off to make things disappear? That's real impartial reporting folks! Thanks for showing your true colors.

Good luck to all of you at LSS and all of the other people in the Janesville community that have lost their jobs recently. It is so sad that Janesville has taken the hits it has over the last few months, especially with the quality of workers it has to offer.
Too bad labor in other countries is so cheap too. Hopefully Grainger/LSS won't outsource their customer service to some foreign country like so many other companies have done. Is Iowa a foreign country? LOL!

To whomever was offended by my post and asked for it to be removed. Do you prefer the term butt kissers? Word has it if you are a professional butt kisser at LSS, you will have a job for life. Pucker up everyone!!

I would think with LSS cutting 46 jobs, they should have a couple extra Supervisors now. When will they cut them?

Phil can probably afford the new building now that he doesn't have to worry about the union. Way to go Phil!!!!

On Second vote on union likely at RathGibson
Posted on August 6 at 9:44 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
Look what the union did for GM folks. Where are your heads right now? If you show up for work every day and do your job, why do you need to pay a union to create a contract between you and your employer? From what I have heard most people working at Rath make $15+ per hour. Sure, you may have had changes to some of your benefits etc. but then again, who isn't getting hit with changes like these now days?
Vote the union in and you will some day be working next to one of the few people you are paying dues to protect, the guy who calls in sick all the time or comes to work and does nothing all day while you pick up the slack. The company will try to fire the bum but guess what, your union will save his sorry butt and you will continue to do his share of the work.
I worked for a company for many years that was threatened with a union about every 3 years. Each time, we voted no. Those of us that showed up for work and did our jobs knew we didn't need to pay 2-3 hrs. of our wages to the union clowns each month to keep our jobs. The company also allowed employee input whenever they felt a policy or procedure needed to be updated. They also allowed employees on hiring committees etc. so we had some say in who we would be working with. (some of us were much better judges of character than the management)
Maybe you should all try thinking outside the box the union wants you in so they can collect your wages and then sit back and do nothing for you but bargain your way out of jobs. Just a thought, and no, I don't work for Rath and only know a few people that do.
