With Mustangs 50th anniversary coming up next month, I was wondering if anyone knows of any events going on in MI? I have read there is one planned for Las Vegas and one in Charlotte but shouldnt there be something in Dearborn or Flat Rock? Thanks

Great! Thanks for the info!

Is the posting for Welder Generals? I thought Flat Rock only had Mechanical , Electrical, and Tool & Die and I assumed the Mechanical did the welding...

Ok thanks!!

I am thinking of taking my Family to the Rouge factory tour this Saturday, but I want to make sure the line will be running when we go. Does anybody know if DTP is working this Saturday Jan 28th? Thanks!

Today GM announced they are going to offer $60k buyouts to skilled trades at certain plants. Does anyone think it's possible that Ford might offer a similar deal?

Yes, I was refering to permanent positions. Alot of the temp jobs are ending soon so all these MWs that are working will be hitting the street. Thanks though.

Does anyone have any info on possible job openings that might become available soon for Skilled Trades, Millwright in particular? It seems I read often on here about Production Workers needed at different facilities but rarely anything about Skilled Trades....

In case anybody missed it, Ford announced today that they will be creating 635 new jobs at several different facilities by 2012. What Im wondering is if any of these will be for skilled trades or will they all be production? Have all layed off production people been placed or will these be the $14 new hires? I would think that if a facility is adding production a certain percentage of the workers added would need to be trades? Does anyone have any inside information on what classifications will be needed? Thanks in advance.

Were the postings for only production positions or were there skilled trades needed also?

Wow! Lots of good info, thanks! I'm wondering though, do you know if any of these locations will need any skilled trades? Millwrights in particular?

Still on days bitch!!! LOL!!!

Does anyone have or have access to a current layoff list of millwrights from all locations? Thanks

Just was informed today we finally have a new tenative local agreement here at brownstown prc. Going from 30 classifications down to 10. Including making us M/Ws do all our own welding. I know they are wanting to do that at alot of locations including at WSP where I used to work. Im afraid Welder Generals are a dying breed...

Ha! Thanks, I will!
