Actually what is in the contract is for someone with 10 years seniority would recieve $52500.00 Read the the second book with all the coloured pages. The info for severance is in there. $100000 plus a car voucher sounds good to me. My vote is yes. Ford is hell bent to close us so suck it up take the money and move on.

I agree 100%. F**K them!! They will not get one cent from me without product guarantees. Let's hope the mindless sheep listen to someone else this time instead of the lying c***s***kers. I want an answer NOW and if we are closing soon I want it in writing what our severance pay will be. Not that it matters you might as well set the contract beside the toilet and wipe you're ass with it.

This may seem like a stupid question but how many St Thomas people came to Oakville recently because I was waiting for my chance but no one ever asked me!!

Recently, in the last provincial election in Ontario, the liberals promised a new statutory holiday in Ontario if elected. Since they were elected and the legislation has been passed and we have our new "Family Day" how the hell is it possible that Ford Motor Company won't recognize it. Just was wondering what my brothers and sisters in Oakville, Windsor, and St Thomas think about this Bull.

FYI: Whitey's not retiring he's going to the national. They wanted him in the national four years ago but he always said he wouldn't leave until we were safe. Take that for what you will.

Layoff notices are out today!!!!!!!!!!! Starting April 9th so now we finally know. No confirmation on actual buyout numbers being allocated yet.

Just curious if anyone knows what is happening with this truck??? If Ford plans on building this thing with temps for the next year they really are planning on killing it!! Just wondering.....

Apparently my bank has recieved a letter from Ford stating that when we are reduced to one shift that there will be 800 jobs lost but 800 buyouts will be offered to eligible employees(28.1 years and up). Why they sent letters to banks I don't know but take the info as you will!!! Anyone else hear anything about this as well?? Just wondering........

YOU DUMB FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If it weren't for the UAW your ass would have been out on the street months ago and the only thing you would have recieved is a kick it in it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the info butthead and good luck wherever you are headed!!!!

Hey guys!!!! Sorry to hear that wixom will still be closing, we feel for you but we were wondering what is you're idle date and when we at STAP will produce this car(if it actually happens)? They tell us late 2007 or early 2008, just wondering also if it will be in it's current form or slightly restyled, not that ford has enough sense to do that to these fine automobiles!!!!!

Says the man who drives the biggest fagmobile around!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was chatting with o'handley recently and he told me that the next year would be rough but that we had nothing to worry about and told me to spend my money!!!!!!!!! Take it as you will.

Surprise surprise!!! Idon't think it would have done much good anyway. Ford wants the Panthers to die!!!

With Wixom slated to close in the 2nd quarter of 2007 what is to become of this fine automobile? Is it discontinued or will production be continued elsewhere? Please let a town car fan know!!! Thanks!!!

Just a question about towing with a F150. I have a 2003 F150 5.4 litre and am debating about 2006 with the 4.6 instead. I noticed the towing capacity is greatly increased in the new 4.6 compared to the older one (2003 and below) Is it necesary to go with a 5.4 litre or should I get a 4.6? The towing capacity seems to only be 300lbs difference. 6900 vs 7200. Let me Know!!!!

Just a quick question for you guys at OAC. Would someone tell me how many production are currently on layoff there and what are the prospects of employment numbers if and when you add the weekend shift?? A reply would be greatly appreciated.

Just heard stap will be reduced to 45 cars per hour in August 2006 and will be going to one shift July 2007!! Merry fuckin' Christmas!!!!

What was said here?? I'm dying to know!!!

Heard today that Buzz himself is coming to St.Thomas local 1520 general membership meeting March 19th. Should be interesting or NOT!!!! Any comments?

Replacement of drive motors and chains for line 3, new clam shells and total tear down and new system build for stuffer. Also all drive motors and other changes in body,

Apparently this will eliminate almost all downweeks for this year except for additional week(s) at shutdown which will be needed for certain projects. believe it is true. The company says that this will be easier for suppliers and eliminate overtime for repairmen and trades. no more saturday and sundays.

Bodyman my wife works Ashift and her committee man told her at 330pm so it is true!!!!!!!!!

Is this what the meeting was about today? How long is this to continue for and will we still be having down weeks??

So where does this leave the Town Car? Does anyone really know? Is it Dead along with the CV and GM or will these cars live ON? Come on WIZ enlighten us!!!!!!!!!!!!!
