I'm good thank you for asking. I hope this new year finds you the same. You know their is a link at the bottom on that page and i'm amazed at all the kinds of Jobs at Disney across the country . Data base for Disney Jobs (click on an area of interest then "openings" under the career tab to bring up the database)

Here ya go Littlecountry, saw this in my mailbox today and thought of you. Good luck Disney Dream " job " contest

Good luck to you Gunslinger and all that took the buyout in NAP. I wish you and your families the best. I realize it was a hard decision to make. I’m reminded of something I read in the dedication inside a book in the sixth grade, “ If I’ve seen farther than any other Man It’s only because I have stood on the shoulder of Giants! “ NAP, TCAP, AAP without a doubt you have been some of the Giants Ford Motor company and its employees have stood on. You will be missed; to those who elected the transfers all I can say is Thank God we didn’t lose all our Quality people. The wizard

Here this article from the Detroit Free Press complements that one and suggest the company wide buyouts are coming for a fact. ( The Cut the Check Club will now come to order ! :bandance: :happy feet: ) Free Press P.S. the rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerate LOL By the way did you see another exec bites the dust? and the wizard says more to follow ;-) Detroit News

okay rainman let's do it ! i have had time to confirm with my sources and this is the deal Sheldon Road is sold Sandusky Sold Glass is in talks for a sale Monore Close much of the work has been sourced already Milan Close - they are sourcing the Fuel tanks and Fascias Indianapolis Close Saline is in talks for a SALE Utica is in talks but expect to be a CLOSE like i said none of would be good news

Can't find anything out about Dearborn Tool and Die but i'll keep looking. Sorry i don't have more but that is the most honest answer.

you're fine don't worry

you're only a possible closure, however they are studing what product lines to put in that plant so the game anit over yet ! i'll let you know if i find anything out.

Dearborn Engine will close under the way forward plan in 2007 DDMP will close in 2010

I haven't seen anything on either they should be safe. Only closures are Wayne stamping in 2011 and Maumme 2008 for now. Walton Hills is only a possible. i'ts good you're working with them on the changes. One day after the President went on record in the Freepress as fighting Buyouts at local 245 as " sellouts " the company GEN'ed 68 workers trades and non skilled with another 60 to follow in September. So here is an example of what happens when you show a unwillingness to work with them.

never comment on ... Code words for projects or the projects themselves, financial statements, or strategic plans. That would hurt the company and help a competitor. I only talk about things that affect you. Not trying to be a jerk just something’s are best left having been neither confirmed or denied. question though why are they stopping Atlanta transfers to KCAP ? what's up with that ?

Their might be bad news here.. but i have a rule I never comment on Code words for projects or the projects themselves, financial statements, or strategic plans. That would hurt the company and help a competitor. I only talk about things that affect you. Not trying to be a jerk just something’s are best left having been neither confirmed or denied. sorry

It should be all the same buyouts you have seen before just offered company wide with the only addtion that the amount for a full boyout is $140,000 They wont raise the requirement and I'm sure this will happen for sure. 1. Pre retirement leave package or bridge 28 - 29.99 years 2. Special incentive Retirement $35,000 with 30 years or above 3. Eductional buyout 4 years of education paid for with 50% of your base pay 4. VETP Voluntary Early Termination Program or the total buyout $140,000 I think their is a fifth one for age 50 or over plus ten years of employment

sorry not really hiding rain man i have some data to pour over then i can answer you all better. If I just say something from memory i risk the chance of pissing someone off. please give me till Saturday and i'll tell you what i know . Thank you for waiting. I mean this much is for certain all plants that are ACH will either be sold or close/idled ASAP so don't expect good news. it's all part of the way foward.
