 First, everything you said is illegal and can be punished up to and including termination.Who is "LOT" anyway?I sit out in the open and JUMP when called on my cellphone or in person.Other places I had a radio in my ear.There are NO ergonomics or restrictions in the trades.Without O.T. {not guaranteed}I make 100 bucks a week more than a production Team Leader.Why spend your life,holidays etc. at a job,with a harsh atmosphere, where you are totally unappreciated?If the trades "aint working" then why does Ford have us there?I can walk out of Ford with my trade license and duplicate my hourly wage working at another company.Try that as production.I wish Ford would eliminate my trade and give it all to production since I "aint working" most of the time anyways.Oh wait,,,,there are licensing requirements and OSHA to consider.In all fairness to your post,,,,,,yes,,some people are allowed to get away with murder and can do no wrong.Rules at Ford all hinge around that little chicken dick supervisor you report to everyday.You got a point.

Well said. There are SOME, but I am there every minute I'm supposed to be. Cal50 don't need to be putting everyone in that category. As Fatso said, the job is physically and most importantly mentally draining. If you can't keep your sanity, then what kind of retirement are you going to have? You have to be sane enough to enjoy the retirement you worked so hard for!

I seen this too. But they are only allowing 200 skilled trades go with the incentive. And the 200th skilled trades man has 47 years. So it looks like you have to have at least 47 years in to get the $60,000, or pretty close.

For all you you skilled trades that are looking to retire.
