Looks like thats what we will be doing when we are locked out and lose product if we ever get back to work

Its that Chucy guy again, he has been to Chicago, KCAP, Buffalo, MAP and Local 600 all in less than 24 hours Just ignore him

A strike would be devastating with no end. Lose signing bonus as well as investments These no vote locations are going to cause alot of us monetary losses we will never make up. My brother was locked out and never was rehired at a manufacturing facility down in Ohio, lost his home and family. Never had a good paying job again. Sad

The plants like CAP and MAP that received product commitments from the 2007 agreement now have product could care less about the rest of us!!! We voted in the 2007 agreement by 75% that gave those locations a future Now the remaining 20,000 of us need product investments, $16 Billion and these selfish locations are putting me and my family in a bad position with no job security We were there for you in 2007 and now we need this 16 billion in investments, yet you got yours and put us in danger Wheres the solidarity??? Need product at AAI

AAI and OHAP were to get products in the October modification that was turned down. AAI and OHAP were in dire need of product. I am not a pro on the matter but i thought OHAP was committed product until 2013 and then new product would be identified. We were on the chopping block and the IUAW saved us bottom line. AAI is a happy place again.

+1 I have to be honest,,,, I have not felt this secure as an autoworker since the 90s. This is a great investment in our jobs and future for decades to come

Apparently some people really dont understand the value of 6 BILLION DOLLARS invested Damned big carrot unless you are at a plant that got investment last time and your job is secure

Well AAI and OHAP were on the chopping block so the UAW saved us......... As far as the rest, 6 billion is a hell of a good job of bargaining for our job security

OK then vote no and stay laid off. That would be the moronic thing to do in your position. Many of AAI trades reduced are in favor of the $100, 000 and know they are coming back under the buyouts and all of the new investments.

I dont blame the UAW for the economic turmoil we have suffered since 2007. Those in Ohio may want to recall those republicans they voted in as to why the UAW could not stop Ford from closing Walton Start with kasich

Are you that blind? $100,000 buyouts will clear many of the trades that are retirement eligible. I am quite sure the negotiating team got this $100, 000 so the trades could return to trades. This with the additional shifts at AAI and MAP in Michigan alone will get most trades back. The negotiating team insured the working in production trades a quick path back to the tools Many ILO from AAI know this first hand. Trades are coming back within 6 months

Obviously you are not from AAI, OHAP or the many other facilities that are benefiting from these investments in our job security Obviously you are in a plant that more than likely has products, huge investments over the past 5 years and you are running 3 shifts. Pretty close huh?? You are no brother of mine in your selfish ways Vote yes for the many of us in need

Assembly Plant Product AAI Will balance out of Mazda 6 production. A new fl exible assembly system to provide a second source for the next Generation Fusion (which is currently built exclusively in Mexico) will be installed and a second shift added. The plant also will receive the next generation Mustang. Total plant investment is $555M. Chicago Assembly Will continue with Explorer and Taurus, including adding a third shift of production and insourcing the police vehicles. Investment in the plant is $117M. Dearborn Truck The next generation of the industry leading F-Series truck will continue at DTP after $359M investment. Kansas City Assembly Plant The Kansas City Assembly plant will grow with the North American introduction of the Transit Commercial Van, being insourced from Europe. To support the growth, an integrated stamping plant is being added to the site. A second shift of F-series production is being added in 2012, and the next generation F-Series is awarded to the plant. Total investment on the site is over $1B. Kentucky Truck Enabling Ford’s Truck Leadership position is execution of the next generation Super Duty Truck and continuation of the Expedition and Navigator. The investment of $621M includes adding a press line. Louisville Assembly The launch of the all new Escape in 2012 will be followed by the introduction of an exciting new product. The popularity of the Escape and the addition of a new product will require a third shift of production. Total plant investment is $639M. Michigan Assembly Ford’s growth in the small car segment continues with the Focus Battery Electric Vehicle.

Twin Cities As previously announced, the Twin Cities Assembly plant will close with the balance out of the Ranger at the end of 2011. Work in-sourced from Mexico, China and Japan $16 billion in investment and new products Your negotiating team has consistently heard our members demanding more job security because members understand that without product for our plants, our futures are not secure. Th is tentative agreement adds another 5,750 jobs. Th ese new UAW jobs mean more than 12,000 new jobs in total with jobs previously announced by Ford. Many of these jobs will be added by the end of 2012, and all will be added during the term of the new contract. Th ese new jobs will be added to communities across America where people have been struggling to recover from our nation’s economic turmoil. Th e UAW Ford proposed agreement also includes $16 billion of investment to produce new models and upgraded vehicles and components by 2015, of which, $6.3 billion will be invested directly into retooling and upgrading plants. Many of the product commitments in this agreement are from vehicle manufacturing re-sourced or in-sourced directly from other countries, including China, Japan and Mexico. Just as important as the investment commitment is new contract language that gives our members a better chance of competing for work with outside suppliers. Th e new language, which will be closely monitored by the UAW Ford Department’s new Advanced Manufacturing and Sourcing team, strengthens our ability to compete for existing and new work. Your negotiators also insisted and won agreement that the current moratorium on outsourcing of work from Ford facilities be extended for the life of this proposed agreement. Th e following chart details the new product and plant investment that was secured in this tentative agreement. FORD HOURLY WORKERS 3 Powertrain Plant Product Dearborn Engine Plant In support of Ford’s leadership in fuel economy initiatives, incremental capacity will be added to the plant for the 2.0L I4 engine.

There are 20,000 of us that need this investment in our plants. Thank you UAW AAI is buzzing with happiness. Everyone here is excited and if any news media comes to AAI everyone of us will state how blessed we truly are here with this new investment

I did not get an email yesterday, did anyone get an email update for yesterday? I called the 1-800 number which was updated last night though

As the importance and impact of Reuther and the UAW is to the middle class we should push for a Library or National holiday or something in his honor.

I do think Mr King will start a drive to organize the transplants after D3 negotiations.

Sad day when Union Brothers and Sisters bash each other. No response, your statement speaks for you

AAI is down to one shift. Many here are worried. You can bet every one of us believe these product commitments are a top priority. Not only top priority but the only priority. Not to be selfish but I hope AAI is on the top of the Ford agreement list of products

Len, you hit another one out of the park. Good post

Local 598 in Flint Michigan overwhelmingly voted in the agreement. They voted for the windfall of investments. 6,400 jobs is great job security and helps get higher seniority for better jobs, shift assignment etc.

What is wrong with people???

GM Truck in Flint Michigan voted overwhelmingly in favor to help less fortunate plants that needed investments. Even though the UAW announced an agreement that committed a Flint Truck $400,000,000 investment in July of 2011 these members understood other locations were not so fortunate. Good job Flint Truck Local 598. Looking out for your Brothers and Sisters in poverty plants and insuring they too will get products and investment commitments is an unselfish act http://m.detnews.com/autos/article?a=2011109240378&f=1213

They put a 4 week deadline to Chrysler. Hope we can get an agreement before then

Dear Mr Settles We need more products in our plants. Help AAI as well as other locations as a top priority May God have your hand in negotiations
