Decker, I like your style!

Thank you very much for the update. You're doing a good thing here I hope people appreciate it. I do. Hendew

Good to see after all these years of being gone from this board Dark271 and Littlecountry are still at odds!

VIN: 2FMDK4KC8EBB01282 Ordered back in May Thanks for all the help. Hendew

I think I would be more concerened as a worker at the lack of supplier quality. If there is such a mass of defects being run that you have to out source repairs in the yard, it doesn't take a genius to figure out there is a bigger problem than who is doing what. That would be my priority as a leader in a UAW role or Salary role. Just my opinion? Hendew

Best thing I ever did was take that buyout.

Product commitment does matter. That is the planning and forecasting for the total operation for a plant, IE..Manpower needs, sales, overtime, tooling, trades and so on. Without a commited product due to be updated and or launched your facility can be packed up in little boxes and sold off. Also with no more Job banks your on your ass. So yes a commitment is huge. Ask anyone who has been through a closure and they will tell you!

He did retire from there,I just called my buddy down in Franklin right outside newnan who knows Alan real well. Well before my time. My bad I am Jackass.

Any former workers at AAP message me.I have a reunion BBQ trying to be set up and we would like your input.

I haven't been by there since I left town in March of 07 and those pictures are fucked up!

WOW!Thats fucked up.

I can tell you from first hand knowledge that when AAP closed and we went into GEN our Chairman Danny Sparks fought every single day to get us jobs lined up to transfer to.I heard him argue with Joe Carter about the job bids,I heard him on the phone with Chuck Browning everyday about getting people who wanted to work into jobs ASAP! Another thing that he did every single day was answer phone calls months after the fact from people who had taken the buyout 6 months prior.Some of the same people that had motherfucked him to his face,called and asked for help he did it without thinking twice. Another he had done was take a trip to Savannah out of his own pocket to get trainig lined up and job opportunities for those same people who had taken the buyout and not found a job.I also seen him take calls from possible employers and give references for my former brothers and sisters.Any former AAP employee that disagree's, I have one question for you.Were you there when those discussions were going on?NO!I was.Don't try to bash the manif you don't know the whole story. He could have just blown those people off and done nothing,he didn't represent them anymore?Right?He did though,he fought for them because that was the guy he was,honorable and unselfish.This is the man that taught me to be a brother. He was asked to take a job by Bob King on staff,he took it.He got that job because he is selfless and always working for the membership.If this is the way MOST people get on staff I would be honored to be represented by those selected men. Some of you people need to wake the fuck up and get your head out of your ass! From Ron down to your servicing reps aren't just having coffee up there and doing nothing.Do you honestly think a man with 40 years in and 25 on staff is going to just sit there and give consessions to the point where they are left with nothing that they have worked there entire life for?NO,wake the fuck up.I know your fustrated,I know your scared,I know you don't have answers!You just have to roll up your sleeves and go to work and let the powers that be in the IUAW roll up there sleeves and do what they do. Some of you are aware that I no longer work for Ford and some of you aren't.Like I said many times I care.I am a third generation Ford worker,alot of people in my family and my wife's family work at Ford all over Michigan.As much as I try to let go and not get involved in these discussions any longer I thought this one needed a little insight from my first hand knowledge of a good man that was asked to be on staff because of his values and hard work.

I would do more than boycott this! They would be escorting me out of the trade center.I might fly out just to scream in this douchebags face and have a free night in the Taylor county Hotel.

I'll tell you another way to save jobs for Ford is to have your car or truck serviced at at Ford dealership.This saves a job at every depot in your area that services that dealer.You never know you may be forced to depend on that job for yourself or a loved one in the future.There is no better way to ensure that that job will be there other than get your car serviced at a dealership! I support each and everyone of you.I wish you all the best through these trying times.

Dadzee I was cruising Youtube and ran across a vid of SNL that was rather hard to find that was un-named and I seen your comment on the bottom.Small interweb world.Good job laying the smackdown.

My family got there start at Ford Motor in 1954 at the Monroe plant.With all my family still being in Monroe this plant closing almost effects my life as much as my plant when it was closed in 2006 in Atlanta.Its a sad day for so many people who know nothing else but the Monroe Stamping/chassis systems plant. Being through a closing like so many of you others I know that this leave a bad taste in people mouth retired or current just like it did for so many that held tradition at AAP. Good luck to you all.

I would like to see that smug little cocksucker Mark Fieldstein get his papers.I would be the first to meet him at the steps of the Glasshouse and donkey punch that little bitch.

How about a link?

The congressman from Massachusettes just owned that ass abit ago!

The one question I want asked and answered is a 2 part question. "Why the fuck Mr.Mullaly did your company shut down the 3 best Assembly plants that you had in your stable"? "Also that being said,how the fuck did you think that would give you a competitive advantage and or move your company in the right direction"?

You add nothing to this board or life!Please buy a bullet and go rent a gun.
