Well, it's much larger. Thanks, Nostradamus.

Average check = $8800

Yes, it excludes the special items, meaning if they take a charge it doesn't affect profit sharing.

From the Highlights: Profit-sharing improved Over time, Ford changed the way it reported its profi ts. This diminished our ability to truly share in the upside. Our new plan will now use the same profit figures that the company reports to its shareholders thereby restoring our ability to share in the company’s success. Specific gains: • Plan covers all North American profits, not just those from the U.S. Th e formula generates a fund based on $1 per worker for every $1 million in North American pre-tax, pre-interest profit. • The proposed profit share defiition excludes so called “special items” as well as net interest expense. Between 2003 and 2010, “special items” reduced the profit share fund by approxi mately $17 billion, and net interest expense reduced the UAW profit share fund by $4.5 billion. • The new plan eliminates technicalities that could have deprived members of profit sharing in profitable years. These technicalities could have eliminated all payouts in 2010 if it had not been for the strong intervention of the UAW. Notice it says it excludes special interest items, meaning those items WILL NOT lower our profit sharing.

If you think it's "free" money, you are a moron.

$28.25ish Full year

Don't forget that 10% goes to VEBA.

I get what you are saying on the hours now. I don't know how many employees we have added but there are some on layoff too during retooling so it may be a wash. I'm betting on $7500 average and OT plants will see higher.

What do new hires have to do with this? I don't think it is just straight time hours included either. You get credit for OT as well.

Says the guy who doesn't capitalize and punctuate properly.

Uh, yes it is, at $12,000. Want proof? Read page 176 http://www.uaw.org/sites/default/files/FORD%20CBA%20Book%203.pdf

Interesting you say that's what the public wants when KCAP was running 3 crews and still had trouble keeping up with demand, all the way until the model change. About 300,000 units a year. What competitor with the "style the public wants" was/is building more?

You are frickin' clueless. Why do you even post here?

Um, no, it is you that doesn't understand. We've been running three crews for about two years now. Saturday is a regular production day around here. Sunday too. Well, now it's ending.

Here's a video of Chuckie! He's been eating good I see. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0nBvnnIMm8&feature=youtu.be

Looks like Chuckie is back to having mega problems with scamming people and internet identity issues. This is worth the read as it is all very recent: Chuckie banned and community warned Chuckie bad feedback and banned It was great without you, Chuckie! How's McDonald's treating you?

YEP!

Traffic on his other site must be slow.

Do these F-650's look like construction vehicles?

You weren't aware that this was in our contract, really? Why do you think the grievance was filed?

This arbitration process sounds like Congress trying to get something done.

$106,800 was the FICA cutoff this year.

Now that's funny! Focus was down last 3 months so that's what I'm basing my question on. Sept - -24.1% Oct - -0.1% Nov - -9.9%

If Ford's sales reporting is accurate, then yes, I am sure about it. The Taurus and Fusion along with the F-150, Escape, Explorer, etc... saw sizable (double digit) sales gains in November while the Focus was down 10% and the Fiesta gained less than 3%. Based on that data, I would say my comment was accurate.

With the current Escape selling so well, I hope the new model does too. It's a radical departure from the one that is very well received by the public. I do like the looks of the new model though. The new Focus is down something like 10%. I wonder how much of that is the new design? The latest news is that the consumers are opting for the larger vehicles (Fusion, Taurus, etc...)
