Which stamping plant is this letter from? :shrug: Thanks...

18 years... CUT THAT CHECK! :happy feet:

I think most would be quite surprised as to whom these "trolls" really are. This thread's author is nothing more than an overt agent provacateur. Then there are those who attempt to be covert about it and come off as "expressing their opinion" or "just trying to help". Swami is an excellent example of a very poor attempt at being covert. He doesn't have the intellect to pull it off.

Ignorant? For making a statement about what happened in Detroit; in response to a question??? You obviously have far too much time on your hands and no brain to back it up. "SWAMI" the first living brain donor, how nice. Don't you have a glass house shitter to clean? Buck up and do your job loser... :blah: :blah: :blah: :blah: :blah:

Company wide buyouts were discussed and voted upon for UAW approval. It passed unamiously 100% for approval, even Mario of 245 voted yes...

What he/she meant was that he cleans the shithouses with old rags at the glass house, hence "man of the cloth" as she so states...

B as in "B", S as in "S"...

Excuse me...the first post of this thread wasn't very nice along with quite a few of your other ones. ...You did mention that YOU work in the glass house...what does THAT tell us??? 'Nuff said...

Investment...exactly. According to GM the investment was 3.8 billion for the buyouts that will save them 8 BILLION by the end of this year. That's the reason for the buyouts. If Ford is too stupid to make it work as GM did, then they have the talent of Mr. "glass house-man-of-the-cloth" BSer and deserve to fold up. :titanic:

I normally don't waste my time with heartless idiots like you, but now you're purposely trying to hurt people. The buyouts are not contractual. On GEN/SUB, the company still has to pay benefits. Crawl back under your rock, loser. :slap:

I would say that the Freep took this a little out of context. He makes some good points, but I get the impression that the majority of the American people could care less. It's an uphill battle to say the least...

Look on the bright side, you'll have all kinds of time to attend anti-abortion rallies and the like when you lose your job. The downside is you would have to find another forum to post your whining political agenda.

It started long before the auto EB seat. They've been in bed with the corporations since Frasier first climbed in before passing the torch to Bieber. The Canadians were the only one's to see it and actually did something about it - they dumped the UAW... and with good reason.

The "true meaning of life" is subject to interpretation. The SECRET of life is... ...NOT DYING!

You got that right! Friggin' YELLOWBELLIES! :slap:

We just received a bulletin today that all the local Presidents and Chairmen are to meet in Detroit on August 29th for talks about the company wide buyouts. I'd like to go and and see what will become of Mario! If he makes it that long...

TCAP was building F-Series when Ranger S/C came and both were built on the same lines. The regular cab came in small ammounts at first while LAP was on constant OT building Explorers. In '92 after the 10 weeks off for re-tooling for the '93 Ranger, TCAP went 100% Rangers. After a brief set of lay-offs from the '92 recession, TCAP went into LAP-like OT cranking out Rangers like there was no tomorrow...

2000 Crown Vic P71 interceptor with 93,000, just now broken in. Awesome car! Thanks STAP!! :bandance:

If you would have joined back in January before the announcement instead of yesterday, you would see that TCAP is not the only workforce to go through this as you describe which is OLD news. There are plenty more yet to come, so wipe your nose and stay tuned.

You would have had to tell him/her that. It appears he/she took your advice to heart, lol...

Ford can play games with your life ONLY if you let them. I really wouldn't rely upon the uaw to watch over you, they're more interested in Ford. Instead of losing sleep at night, prepare NOW if you haven't back in January. Eighteen years ago I knew that the auto industry was not a secure work environment when I hired in, so I planned accordingly. Yes it will be an inconvenience, but that's it, just an inconvenience. The public could care less about how Ford treats it's employees if they even notice it at all. Remember the boyscout's motto, Be Prepared.

Oh please! The CIA??? They're nowhere near intelligent enough!

Maybe.....although, it could be just a rumor that just might subject us to another "Norfolkbuilt" whiney rant... :P

...And it clearly shows... EXACTLY! ...F-100?! oh please... :burnout:

It will depend on your local of course, but basically it's 4 ten hour days @ straight time pay (Mon.-Thurs.) which undermines the time-and-one-half pay after 8 hours. You will then have a 3 day weekend. Also, you can bet that skilled trades will not be working Sundays any more as they will still be at five 8's. NAP will no longer need to pay all the overtime for Sunday work when trades could essentially have a "weekend" to do projects, etc. on Friday (with no production working) and Saturday. :rolleyes:
