slowilly

i was looking at 20 miles or so south of the plant and things seemed to be reasonable, the same with going into Indiana and looking...is this true? any help, advice? I would say Chicago and the 'burbs are crazy expensive though...true that! any word on stamping plant jobs?

International has ask us to put off the vote for a bit...they are meeting with the company...there is a lot more to it...we are also needing to get our closing packages started

I think there is about 700 or so Ford...a few temps still hanging around, not many though...plant is scheduled to close 12\2011 with lay offs starting in a month or so... we will be down to about 50% population by December probably...lines are going quickly, just dumped RV gear and let about 200 of the temps go 3 weeks ago...we had some big changes when that happened... for the record I 100% support what our Union is trying to accomplish here, I do believe they are doing all the necessary things to prepare us for our closing...oh yea, Louisville with be a sweet gig for me right now, just wishing out loud....Peace

Indy is winding down quickly as well...temps are going to be all gone by end of Feb and blue employees will begin to be ILO in March\April time frame...with more ILO's over the next 12\18 months...i'm certain there is interest from some there to go to Chicago...most here are banking on Louisville needing some bodies after their re tooling...getting interesting here!

better yet, i'll trade you jobs...i work in Indy and would like it very much to transfer there...what is senority like at Evansville? good luck with you D$#* for a boss, i know it sucks

Indy is running at least a week behind as well...i would dip into my "nest egg" but i used it to make an omelet for my kids this morning...

no way...i'm with Big Country...i'm all in baby...as a matter of fact, after reading a few "good reads" on the site i'm PROUD and i'm staying...i pray that Ford doesn't even touch any monies that may even be offered and we come out of this slump on our own...speaking of slumps, i think some of us know how Mark Grace,retired 1st baseman for the Chi Cubs would break a hitting slump... i'm going right now to find a "Slump Buster and take one for the team " Peace to all....

was the inverse offer in certain areas or any employee then by seniority? we are down to 4((people)) on days and 3 on nights...we had 7 on days and 5 on nights less that 2 years ago working 10-12hours...i cut t-bars by the way dept 292...probably ride the storm out...

last spot was taken with mid '89 sen...i figure if Ford in Indy stays open until 2010((Maybe longer?)) or so, i may be able to get into a HVC when Indy closes, i bid on Phoinex but my 1-4-93 was not close...

AMEN to that...i'm in Indy and would transfer yesterday if I could...missed my chance about 5 years ago...oh well, i'll be "riding the storm out"

Heard that 100 or so jobs for Dearborn Truck going up out of zone tomorrow...i think i'll bid, uh not!

need a cutoff for Phoenix...Anyone?

Ok, i've heard Thursday then Friday and i'm now hearing Monday...they gave us 3 days to decide our life changing bids and now they take 7 days to let us know...not tit for tat, eh...oh well, i guess i'm wanting to know if anyone can confirm that they will be posted on Monday...i'm trippin' out here and need meds for my anxiety...any info would be awsome... peace my brothers and sisters!

Hardinge...day shift...

No Pump, I sure don't. I wish I was one of his friends he is giving a million to though. I just read the article yesterday morning and thought I would post it. Good to see a hard working blue collar man get it right. Anyway, i'm from Indy cuttin t bars...

Dave Sneath works at the Parts Warehouse in Brownstown, MI...he hit for 136 million...this will slow down the flowback results again, because now we have to fill his spot with the guy that had that down as his first choice 2 flowbacks ago...go to yahoo to read his story...congrats to him...

left the plant at 5:15 ((Indy))...no info, no info, no info...sure nice to give us 3 days to decide then the get 10 days to tell...mmmmmm...i need to get on some meds for my anxiety...this is killen me...

Hey Hogman- I've not heard yet about Phoenix but very curious. when are you being told it should be known? Did you bid there? I did, what is your sen.? As soon as i here something i'll post...

How many plants were able to bid on Lima, Memphis and Phoenix? Our form has Chesterfield, Utica, Sandusky, Indy, Nashville, Tulsa...is there more? I didn't see any bids from your list from Chesterfield or Sandusky. Sorry if I missed something...

Does anyone see a opportunity in Sharonville for gen or ach'ers? Is the bativia and sharonville agreement still good now that we have a new contract? I'm from Indy and would snatch up the opportunity to go to sharonville...

yep, did you vote on the contract...

in Indy we were told at our meeting as well, "temps will not vote on national contract", our union pres. seem to be against this and is trying to get this looked at...i have mixed feelings about it...

AMEN...15 year employee here, Ford worker, ach plant ((INDY plant aka, "Da country club")), willing to relocate at some point, will vote, not nescessarly voting yes either

Indy is a country club...

i don't believe that there are flowbacks at KTP...
