CAPlineWORKER

Multiple reliable sources here at CAP have stated the the MKS and Taurus (retail) will be going to FRAP. CAP will still build the Taurus Interceptor along with Explorer production. I am not sure if this will be enough to maintain 3 Crews but it is what it is. Does anyone find it ironic that a lot of ex-cons and people on work release are building Police vehicles? This plant has sunk to new levels, it's disgusting.

You sound like you have some experience with the A, B, & C crew. When A Crew worked Sunday's was it double time?

I know I'm gonna get bashed for saying this but... I believe the company had to give some type of bonus' back to salary. The Corporate world is obviously competitve. Salary people move from job to job, from company to company. Look around your plant, how many salary people do you know that have been there for 30 years? At CAP, we constantly have new faces in salary. Their jobs are not like ours. They do not have the protection or benefits we have. They can be released at anytime, and they can leave at anytime. It is no secret that Ford is turning around. Competing companies want our people. Ford needed to do this or risk losing key people. If any of us could leave for a better job we would, we stay at Ford because we have to!! I strongly believe we will get some of the things we lost, back in 2011. But I'm not foolish enough to think that Ford is going to give us a penny extra out of the kindness of their heart. They won't do this until they have to!! I know it's frustrating to see what's going on and its easy to take things at face value, but sometimes you have to look at the whole picture. If Ford continues to turn this around WE WILL ALL BENEFIT.

:boring:

This is VERY similar to the shell I've see.

They have been approved for up to $5.6 Billion in government loans for converting plants to green. Currently they have only taken $800 million. (This was in their financial report they released on Monday)

Of all the posting that's been going on the last couple of weeks...this one is THE BEST!!! I could not agree with you more!! Most people don't understand what they just did...but they will find out. GREAT POST !!!

Don't worry you'll get your no vote.

You are right. But I believe the UAW is trying to keep the work in North America.

"UAW workers are lazy, overpaid, overwieght, uneducated, selfish, spoiled cry babies that don't deserve the benefits they have!" - The AMERICAN public perception of US I do not believe this but I felt it was necessary to post BASED ON THE TOPIC. Let's not forget the public and media will be watching and waiting for us to vote this down so they can have a field day with it and blast us more then they already do.

Sadly I agree, unless they post a profit of 40 billion they are still at a disadvantage. Although I am sick of giving, we have to vote yes. Don't kid yourselves Ford is in financial trouble. Its hard to compete against two companies that went through bankruptcy.

You are correct! A no show does NOT equal a yes vote!

I work at CAP and have seen the new Explorer. This is NOT what it looks like.

Yes it passed at CAP

THAT IS SOME FUNNY SHIT THERE!!!
