AMEN brother, I came from monroe also,am now at DTD and found it to be as good as if not better than Monroe was. you're right , it's steady, but not bustin your ass...best move I ever made.......

Monroe. #3shift

I too was a team member before the plant closing, and we had a few that would say the same shit, you guys don't know anything,just doin it to get outa work, etc,etc,etc. NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THEM WOULD STEP UP OR EVEN TAKE A SIMPLE FIRST AID OR CPR CLASS. Just talk ,talk,talk..... I learned to tune these people out and do my business.....Proud to be an ERT!!!!

At Monroe our union and some (very few) of our management supported us...The management that did support us also had the utmost respect for what we did, and we truly appreciated it. Our team is down to about 3 guys now with the plant going in the shitter, all our equipment is being sold at auction. Its sad, cause I really took alotta pride in what our guys did in the plant and at comp. Hopefully I can get on the team at the rouge complex, if they still have one....If you guys go to comp this year good luck and keep doing what you do best, you guys are still appreciated and needed, good luck....

thanks guys, a month or two would be ok with me as long as I know I have a place to go to when its all said and done, give me a chance to get the boat ready for WALLEYE fishin, ya gotta love this system.... if you guys here any different let me know will ya ......thanks

hey dingleberry, good luck brother,hope to see ya again someday....I got called for rouge don't have a report date yet, but kinda hopin they wait till 3/1... If you are who I think you are, its been fun sittin across the hall from ya (afternoons ) good luck bud and see ya in the future.....

hey whiteford, you got any idea what the seniority of the T&D guys is. just curious cause mine is 94....

anyboby heard anything about the postings for trades to go to the rouge just wondering about the T & D guys. Are we going before we get tossed on unemployment?, are they letting the guys inside move around first and we take whats left? whats up????

hey pumpmaster, any other trades on those postings at indy?? just curious to see how many they're trying to move north!!!

Does that mean trades also ???? how can they just FIRE YOU!!! sounds more like UE and sub to me, if they suspend JSP..

tool & die 1994

you talkin trades and production or just production. and some of us in JSP won't have home plants anymore so them what?

I agree with leftski 100% we at monroe are in the same boat we won the work but somebody up north had other plans for it and shipped it elsewhere now we sit in JSP due to sourcing issues. all we want is a fair shot at any jobs that are available, instead of this good ole boy shit thats goin on lately.

VERY WELL SAID !!!!!!We all need to stick together on this and flow back as blue asap....

Sho Nuff, ain't gonna affect us for a while but it will!!! Maybe now the company will realize that cheaper parts and labor ain't always as good as it looks!!!! what goes around comes around....Gee did'nt ford have three plastics plants that they shut down ?? sure could use them about now..... Heard they shut the plant down friday nite so the state police and sheriff had nobody to serve papers on... chrysler showed up with cops and trucks to get their dies.....nobody home.....

there are still a couple nice ones back there all you gotta do is know where to look and at what time....theres been over 60 deer counted at one time. meats,meat ain't gotta have horns to eat it. how long you gotta boil the rack before its edible?? need to geta price sheet from the city offices..

Tell your friend to go to labor relations and make them enforce the zero tolerance policy! its their job to put a stop to shit like this, if the company is ok with him in there then it is there duty to protect him.....

I think you might have to make reservations with the mayors staff, kinda like a pay per point type thing! they gotta subsidize the lost revenue somehow. light sabers ok, they must be turned on for their special nite hunts.lololol

It is, but back when they did the cleanup here they dug up all the toxic shit and emtombed it under these really neat grassy hills. Walking trails and one of the largest deer heards in monroe county...THATS IT !!, the city of monre is going to have what Henry Ford had back in the day, their own private hunting club. Hell I shoulda thought of this before.....

first off EVERYONE @ monroe is UAW, its just that some are orange people and the rest are BLUE. Captain said it right,we are ford ee's in ach plants, we are not ACHers. WE are FORD please give us that, we still have some dignity left. now back to what this post is about, would'nt the hills out back look great with some battlefield bull shit on em....

he's okay,stuck his foot in his mouth more than once, but managed to come back with a save.....dosen't know much but he's learning, got good teachers. he's still kind of an optimist but he'll get over that soon...neat clothes though guy hides in a crowd don't he..goofy hat.

I haven't been here in awhile but it looks like the same old crap, lets bash anybody we can. Thats not the answer we all need to work together to ,well, if nothing else, better our outcome. I still have not heard a definite date yet. always the end of 2008. regardless of who gets the property after the fact we need to beleive that our local guys did the best they could. We came out of this with a decent contract and the gen/jsp still intact, all we can donow is ride out the storm still its over...

when all the new work was brought into the plant a few years ago, the city of monroe gave this facility a huge tax abatement in exchange for keeping the work here in monroe,and keeping a certain amount of people working. now the place is supposidly closing and the city just sits on their friggin thumbs and says OK, we'll just eat our tax break. BULLSHIT, their up to something, and it ain't gonna be good for the citizens of monroe. who's gonna make up all the lost revenue in this city, you think turning this place into a park is going to pay the bulldog!!!good luck people of monroe.....a couple years from now the city will wonder why more and more people are moving to the burbs...
