I wondered the same thing yesterday, never saw anything about this at Livonia.

I was shown that exact same image (cracked screen and all) at Livonia. Was told it's from FRAP.

They'll set it up if you go in to a store, or you can call them and they'll do it over the phone. You just have to send them a copy of your paystub.

While I agree with the sub pay debacle, you don't have to contribute, just opt out. It's bullshit that we have to do that now.

Pretty sure it would depend on the infraction.

This isn't related to bonuses. Is TLO considered active? Are you "active" for any length of time if you're placed on ILO? I'm just wondering if it's actually written somewhere.

I am reading the contract and don't see anything in it that actually defines "Active Employee" or more specifically "on the active employment roll". I have all volumes of Agreement books, as well as Letter of Understanding, going back to 1987 and none of them actually define those terms. We all know everything in these book is "up for interpretation". Anyone know how/where I could get a definitive answer? I know I'll get the suggestion to ask at the plant - that hasn't worked. Thanks in advance.

Everyone that is ELIGIBLE for a buyout will get details in the mail.

It's not bad at all. Last week they canvassed people to take unpaid (no sub/no unemployment) time off, this week and next. Never heard of them doing that in all my time with Ford.

Committee man I talked to today said we probably won't hear more until after the first of the year.

He'll get profit sharing, it just won't be as much as if he had worked the entire year.

I can't remember exactly where I read it in the contract, but it was my understanding that TLOs are eligible for any signing bonus if you are on the active roster WITHIN 90 days of ratification, as in 90 days prior OR 90 days after. No?

That's how I took it as well, just worded poorly.

Considering that they "voted" on Wednesday AND handed out the highlights to members (and the media) the same day, I'd say you're right - it's been done for weeks.

Turkeys? What turkeys? lol
