[QUOTE="Lee VanRoss, post: 1708108, member: 40072"] I have some knowledge based on a personal relationship with Deere & Company. I also have a copy of Wayne Broehl's book [I]John Deere's Company [/I]autographed by some of the people that I had the privilege of working under and with as well as peers in three different branches. I can assure anyone reading this, Big Redly does not. During my tenure I served two terms as president of the local union and while I was privy to what transpired between the union stewards and management at the local level I pretty much steered clear of the periodical discipline problems and interdepartmental bickering that may have taken place. If my voice/vote was required I hope it can be reported that my response was even handed and based on evidence presented. Looking back at Deere & Company employment I would submit that it took (maybe still does) about 3 years to develop the 'leaping deer' mindset. It is the mindset of while what takes place at work has its effect on what is possible at home is only made possible by that person running the tractor (or any machine) long into the night well after you have gone to sleep. Most ten year employees are well aware of the importance of the people who have enough confidence and trust in the Company to invest their savings. There is a certain amount of satisfaction in knowing ([I]in your own mind) [/I]that your engineers and tool operators are considered among the best in the world. One of the last things that I want in this working life is for a Deere & Company stockholder to feel that the employees at any level take them for granted. I hold up Sears as an example of what I never hope to see. Would it surprise you to know we are still using their washing machine!? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Strike votes for the most part should be used only as a last resort because like any war it is easier to start than stop and they have a tendency to go in a direction not planned.
