rainbownthdrk Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Trades will be cut in half. All, except to 2 seniority welders will be shown the door(including me Eventually all ford plants will have 2 trade classifications ( mechanic and electrician) If you don't have at least 20 years trade seniority you are f**ked!!! Oh well, have a nice day!! :happy feet: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherlock Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Hey Rainbow, did you ever hear the one about the guy that hung hisself from the trusses,so the carpenters were called to cut him down and a certain high seniority millwright wrote a greivence because anything hanging from the trusses is millwright work.

mtprubberrat Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Engine line's not going anywhere, Tire hole is. Tire room isn't going anywhere anytime soon, they are putting a new silo in over shutdown for 22" wheels and there isn't anywhere else for ford to have the tires built up and shipped to the plant , ITW is out of business and dearborn can barely build their own shit let alone build ours plus they would have to sink a ton of money into the docks in the tire room in order to run the prebuilt assy's.

napman Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Engine line's not going anywhere, Tire hole is. Your right the engine line is not going anywhere,it will stay in the plant but will be run by a another company with non-ford workers..Once the engine line gets outsourced at DTP,which that process is happening now,the same company will most likely take over all the engine lines in FORD assembly plants....That new COA is nothing but a job eliminating contract...You think what you want to but just remember DTP is the model for all plants so what happens at DTP will eventually happen at all FORD plants!

TheScrutenizer Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 So as far as I can gather there are only 2 rumors. MTP to close in '09 and the loss of a shift in the next month. Has the company produced anything factual about the impending lay-off? On another topic, has the COA language been published? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has the company produced anything factual about the impending lay-off?On another topic, has the COA language been published? No, the COA language hasn't been published yet because it hasn't been fully written yet. Now that we have 'passed' it they will put in it whatever they want. If Jeff and Darryl aren't careful there won't be enough people left after the COA to pay their salary. Guess that is why they are talking of increasing the union dues from 2 hrs. to 3 hrs pay.

Does the person getting the janitorial contract have a son that is getting out of prison soon and getting his job back with all his senority? Just a wild guess.
