The Date at the top of this press release is November 3rd.....

Game, Point, Match with that statement right there!!!!

They'll probably fill that plant wall to wall with work and workers once all the higher wage, so-called "Senior" employees are out and the lower paid, $16 dollar-an-hour capped, new workforce can be hired in....

Two problems here, First off Ford is contradicting itself: "In a speech in New York last October, Chief Financial Officer Lewis Booth said the automaker's labor costs were "close to being fully competitive." He said Ford's labor costs would drop to $50 an hour, from $55, once the automaker hires new workers, who can be paid half what senior workers make." Sounds like they already have their solution to me, already been agreed upon in the previous contract. Also, "Profit sharing has been added to the amount and the $5,000 adds about $2 an hour to our labor costs," Evans said. "Without that, our labor costs are closer to $56 an hour." Now the workers are being told they've put the company at a disadvantage because they've MADE THE COMPANY A PROFIT!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!

Two - Teir is already here! Any new hires into Rawsonville or Sterling, when they start hiring off the street again, are two-teir FOR LIFE! No possible chance for full wage EVER!!!!

Seroiusly though, I was wondering why Ford hasn't just taken the rest of the products they are forced to keep producing from out of state Ach plants, (Sandusky,Indy, Etc...) stuff them into Raws, Sterling, Sheldon Rd & Saline,(Making them Blue Oval again). They could easily get tax breaks for moving the product here, Probably profitably produce these lower margin products with the 2nd teir employees, and reduce major overhead by getting rid of those plants.
