We live in Canada so half of that money goes to the government.200 new jobs not bad since they eliminated 700-800 over the last 6 years.The 400 will be outsourced jobs at some point.Cost of living frozen again." Voith" thats as two tier as it gets.The global platform I gave up my holidays and started to pay my own benefits 3 years ago for that.That carrot gets farther and farther down the tunnel and I dont even have a light. :beatdeadhorse:

No shoe just pants.

The ford deal does nothing but benefit the union. There is nothing in the new contract for the members. No new product, no third shift,no cola, no nothing. Not even family day . That must have been a hard contract to put together? Must have took about ten minutes.

Is the lincoln mks coming to oakville???

I would like to thank the union and all the people who didnt use there holidays for the one week shutdown.Thanks.

Its amazing how much the job reductions have affected quality and management wont do a thing.Anything for a bonus I guess.

No updates,no rumors,no bashing trimding??? This thread is getting soft.

We ship edges to brazil all the time.

Wow no response from charly on that???? I cant believe ford is in better shape then the other 2(not bankrupt) but ford workers took the worst deal.The caw did there job.Dont tell me about there debit.The votes had to be fixed.

A layoff week and then a ratification vote on the biggest contract in years.That is very well planned.And then the union sends out flyer saying well it might be a vote or maybe just information.Should see about 20% voter turnout.The vote should be cancelled.Great job CAW. :banghead:Wow UAW members 65.8% voted NO so far.Nice to see people standing up to a company who has now made its #1 concern taking advantage of its employees. NOT QUALITY. Get rid of all on the floor management and the place will run like a well oiled clock.

Any rumors of no work thursday and friday??? Automod,paint,body????

With one boot and no jacket....

This country,higher cost? This country is the closest thing to mexico ford has.When the dollar heads back to 70-75 cents(which it wil) Ford gets a 25-30 percent discount on are labour.Healthcare,better production. As for quality they dont care just build it and shut up.

Ecoboost motor coming to the flex soon,anyone heard any fuel mileage ratings,horsepower etc ? AWD, 300+ horsepower,should be a fun ride. :hyper:

Keep dreamin... Anyone have news on downweeks in Jan,Feb,Mar?

I dont read the paper and dont drive by ford dealers so I guess they dont exist. Ask 10 people on your street if they know what a ford flex is and maybe one will know and thats the one you told him about.""Second month sales alone of the Edge were right where the 3 month total for the Flex currently is."" Thats not bad considering the times. I will agree the price is way off.They will get there 100,000.

Looks like the company has to eliminate a bunch of senior jobs before the 3rd shift starts.Wonder what jobs are going next.

WOW that was a big hammer that dropped today???

Does anyone know what happened to the Edge Sport? Was going to launch in the fall.22" rims,skirt package,special seats and steering wheel and some other stuff.

Guys at STAP you should vote NO for new investment,OAC should vote NO for more time off not less since your going to be working 24-7.Windsor should vote NO for the new phase two of the new engine plant.You have nothing to lose voting NO, contract doesnt end until sept.As for the wage freeze good idea for right now.Drug plan good idea for right now.Cola not sure about this yet.A loaf of bread might be $5.00 next year,a litre of gas should be about $1.85.Good luck to all. IM VOTING NO!!!

If STAP is closing then why are they not offering transfers to OAC ? Maybe because there not closing... This deal is big NOOOOO...

Good job to everyone at the plant.Sales of Ford’s all-new and redesigned crossovers spiked 96 percent in September; year-to-date sales were up 52 percent. Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX post highest retail sales to date. :happy feet: I just hope they dont wait last minute to get things organized for the flex.Problem is thats managements way of doing things...

No packages are needed to call back remaining employees.300-350 new jobs(will see) with the flex.Trim do you think the plant manager will wait to till job1 in april to call back employees?I hope he has a little more sense then the last plant manager....Im going to say january when the new buget comes.

If the price is right 120,000.Dark Ink Blue Metallic,Borla cat-back exhaust,22 inch Boyd Coddingtons and my wife will be the coolest mom around.
