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?

Best thing I ever did was take that buyout.

Product commitments don't matter, the product will always be there unless your worrying about yourself 20 years down the road.
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!

benefits, paid to their American People so that, by no later than December 31,

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.

Urgent,
Jim Bunning, U.S. Senator in Kentucky, yesterday voted against assistance for American Automakers to avoid bankruptcy.
Jim Bunning is an ex Detroit Tiger who made a good living off the devoted Detroit fans hard earned dollars over the years. His celebrity allowed him to move on after retiring from baseball to run for the Senate as a Republican.
Bunning voted against aid for the autoworkers that helped pay his wages as a Tiger for many years.
This highly paid member of Congress is going to come to Michigan this weekend and will be signing autographs at the Gibraltar Trade Center. The attached website gives the details.
Here’s the kicker – autographs will cost you between $7.00 and $55.00, depending on the item you have signed.
I say to hell with Jim Bunning!!! Boycott the signing or at least avoid Bunning like he is doing to us!!!
Pass this on for Support
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.

It seems I have truly misjudged the stance of the American people when it comes to the union workers of America. They hate us, plain and simple.
How the mindset of many has degraded from that of raising oneself and family to something better to that of dragging everyone else down to the subsistence wages so many are struggling with is beyond me, but it is my belief that this is going to continue far beyond the auto industry as corporations seek to destroy the power base of the working class.
I am not screaming panic just for the sake of some inner joy I derive at seeing the board suddenly awash with both negative and positive responses, or to give the conspiracy theorists their chance to post a few YouTube links, (although I agree with many of their ideas).
I am only hoping to get folks to really look around and see what is coming. I have, among other things, consolidated my phone/cable(now basic)/internet, refinanced and consolidated all debt into the latest 5.5 rate, confiscated credit cards, placed a ban on 4$ lattes/quickie WII game purchases, and other non essentials in order to get some cash in the bank. Even Christmas this year is going to be a subdued event.
Hopefully many of you have been conservative in your ways and no such scrambling is warranted, but for those of you who are lagging behind, I suggest you prepare for the worse rather than the better. The totter is going to teeter more than a bit further IMO before people get clued in on the corporate weenie being rammed up their posteriors as the working class is stripped of not only its wages, but more importantly its powerbase. Be friggin prepared!! or at least make sure your kids are going to be set, and have some great opportunities.
Having said all this, maybe it is a good thing. More people getting involved with their politicians, their unions, and educating their kids on how things can be if we are not diligent in our watchfulness of both is IMO all topside. Til then weather the storm and good luck to you.
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.

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"?
-
The GM/Chrysler merger will force a opening of the contract at GM and Ford.
GM says there gonna cut 30-40K jobs there not gonna put 40K in JSP U can bet on that!!
And we need a bailout before bankruptcy not after, once they file a judge WILL cut our pay just like they did to every other union so lets hope thay done file!!!!!!
You add nothing to this board or life!Please buy a bullet and go rent a gun.

I could be wrong but I dont think they are giving enhanced moving any longer unless your plant is closed for good.The way the new JSP is structured you really cant sit there and collect ,if you pass on 2 openings then you go off rolls?This would eliminate the reason for enhanced moving(45,000),right?
Also the UAW would never let the JSP program go completely 100%,this holds the company accountable for layoffs and closures with some sort of penalty.Atleast that is what it was designed for.The want a mass layoff they have to pay us, clear and simple.
Like Frank has said we are either going to survive or we're not,it's that simple.It isn't a question of us busting our ass to make better cars any longer know it is in the hands of the execs and the consumers to do there part.We have busted our ass' getting our quality right and competitve and our costs down,now they have the tools let's see if they can use it.
