KCAPFINAL

I agree there will be a signing bonus for all active employees The voting power will get the sweetest fruit The key word is Active If you volunteered to go ILO Good Luck

Here is a simple fact No one can assume they will get a signing bonus using the current contract language because it may not be the same in the new aggreement Active or Inactive

KCAP will have 2 shifts running in April 2012 and will be on a 5 day 10 hour schedule daily production will depend on demand for the F-150 Regular Cabs and Super Cabs with a 8 foot box are selling very well thats why KCAP is working overtime

Temps are reclassified as Long Term Supplement Employees some are Full Time LTSE some are Monday Friday If these LTSE complete 2 years of service without a layoff they become full time entry level employees and that really means nothing they do not get full pay 28 dollars an hour full benefits untill 20% of the hourly workforce is Entry Level outligned in the 2007 agreement Entry Level employees are now being used to cover vacations and the deadbeets riding the restriction train KCAP is getting a stamping plant for the new econoline/transit van f-150 seat production is being moved back to KCAP KCAP will be Stamping parts for the F-150

wtf is this a office pool site get all this college and pro shit off of here

Well I was informed of the line speed increases by the Union and The Company Maybe you should pay a little more attention to the fliers that the Union passes out or attend a Union meeting The company also passed out a notice explaining the line speed increase right before vacation shut down Simple Fact this is the second year in a row Management did not make TASK they tried to make it up with increasing line speeds In 2010 it worked with a few PSO jobs in 2011 we said hell no you loaded jobs to the max the last time we can't do any more :happy feet: If your Committeeperson is asking you .....can you even tell you need to be raising 9 kinds of hell

COLA We gave it up So I give it a snowball chance in hell of it being reinstated Get over it COLA is gone forever

Sounds like a good plan Thanks

2. Change the profit-sharing plan to the following: - Change to GLOBAL profits, not just those in the US, since we export many cars and trucks that we build. - For profits under $1 billion, but above $0, put $50 million into the profit sharing fund, divided equally between all hourly employees (approximately $1,000 each before taxes). - For profits between $1B and $2B, put $75M into the fund, divided equally between all hourly employees (approximately $1,850 each before taxes) - For profits between $2B and $4B, put $100M into the fund, divided equally between all hourly employees (an average of $2,450 before taxes) - For profits between $4B and $6B, put $250M into the fund from profits, divided equally between all hourly employees (an average of $6,170 before taxes) - For profits above $6B, put $450M into the fund, add a $50M "quality & productivity" bonus, with the sum ($500M) divided equally by all hourly employees (an average of $12,345 before taxes) These figures assume 40,500 hourly employees. In this scenario, BOTH 1st-tier and 2nd tier would receive THE SAME profit share amount. The only things we would have to know are: -Total Global Profits, and -The current number of US hourly employees. How simple could that be? Sounds Good Now how do we weed out the ones that do not come to work or are always on restriction/medical Do they deserve the same as the guy that comes to work everyday and does his job ?

Sounds like several people working at Ford have bad memories about the tier wage system and past hiring practices at Ford that were negotiated by IUAW in some cases the Local Unions Lets go back before most of you was even hired 70's 80's Does anyone remember the 89 dayers Yeah work 89 days be layed off 89 days get recalled and start all over as a probationary employee These employees also known at that time as supplemental employees Ford used these 89 dayers for years they had no benefits no seniority just a hope of being hired full time Then came the first tier wage system How many of you had to wait 18 months to get to full wage scale wait 9 months for health insurance At that time many of your coworkers did not have to wait for full scale wages and health insurance But wait 18 months wasn't long enough we had to raise the tier wage from 18 months to 36 months Now we are back with TFT's TPT's and a new Tier wage of 14 dollars a hour and a hope of making it to full scale First will go full scale if Ford hires about 9,000 These new hires have no retirement other than 401k and there doing well as we speak LOL Good Luck
