snooter Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I prefer the Jeopardy Game Show theme...... not an employee but thought you guys may be interested..then entire st louis assembly plant is getting ready for the wrecking ball...replaced with warehouses (low pay to be sure)...local news here also did a story about the last few guys sitting in the job banks rooms...sucks to see it go and hope all you st louis people have transfered out and or found a decent job...budwesier is the latest to go...we have the possibility of budweiser becoming imbev (belgium company)..might as well kiss st louis ass goodbye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critic Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 not an employee but thought you guys may be interested.. This is just a small small sampling of snooterspew below: "nobody gives a rats ass about the foucus....its the MPG that makes the decision " "the end result..you ford employess need to get your debt paid off and save up what you can while you have a job...more plant closings are on the way" "$14 is not low wage..i know people who would give their left nut for $14 and hour...union has been spoiled and as usual socialism fails again..with marigins pencil thin i doubt any big announcements concerning utilization at americam plants is forthcoming....have to se how the latest union contract shakes out " "nafta and gatt are not bad..your kids will benefit...soon as mexican wages increase." "what does the mexican on the line putting a lug nut on a bolt get paid?...now what is the pay in detroit?" "fiesta is held near and dear to the hearts of the euro crowd....back in 1977 when i was in dearborn i can remember several euros i ran into talk about how great the fiesta was.....what did ford give us...you guessed it...the piece of shit escort." "damn im famous..no it is not always the employees....it is everybody as a whole that has caused ford to lose market share (from the janitor up)...but..you bet your fat ass the uaw will smile the day the last ford plant is locked down..that is their agenda....and the poor saps on the line have no clue the ass reaming they will get from the uaw higher ups....better buy vaseline boys...might make the pain a little more tolerable....expect a truck plant and a half to go in the near term..." "oh i should be happy ford stock is shit?..close some damn plants, get high mpg vehicles here..i dont care where they come from...and get me a return on my investment..its my money and i will post ford stock price until ford starts making my investment return a profit " "what a dumbass decision by ford to close saint paul and can the ranger..i had a ranger..decent truck with far better mpg then my ram or former f150...i know i know the ranger is billion years old..but when is the ranger set to arrive from south africa?...2010 or 2011? (too late in my opinion)...and another thing..yea i have a problem with unions..but hell at least the ranger was built in saint paul and not some african ass country (aka imported)....with gas at 4bux here i vote to keep saint paul open (see i can be nice union guys) and birthing out rangers " "wrong...screw yoda...i want (F) stock at the level yoda stock is....the ford line worker is just as guilty as senior execs as to why (F) is not making myself any money..quit blaming somebody else for your problems..everybody at ford is to blame for investors not making any money with ford...i own a part of that company and until stock price goes up i want ford to close plants and fire the no good emplyees in oder to get the stock price up..i do not like losing money...and right now ford is a loser...however, i have faith in mulally..so hopefully mulally can get the company turned around to profitability...which is good for everybody" "ford got me once....wont get me again....my luck with ford trucks has been good...my 86 f150 went for 320k miles.(ill forgive the 3 hours replacing missing or sripped interior screws...thanks KC truck plant)..ford cars on the other hand...first rate crap " "if people would only put 10% of the energy they expunge slamming yoda into building a better product then may be ford would actually have a hybrid better then the japs...but no...all i see here is bitching and moaning..get over it...people see yoda as better then ford....my new 1984 EXP escort was in the shop more then on the road...experiences like that only solidified car buyers that ford was a quality wise nightmare and went out and bought accords/camrys which actually worked.....25 years of shit is not going to be easy to overcome...but ford can start by actually building a car that does not need repairs within 5k miles " "ok...good for kirk...and good for me...now you ford employees get off your dead asses, build a product people want and make me some money...i want (F) stock at 100 bux like yoda..until then you are not doing your job at ford and may be should think of working at the quickie mart...im sure you can figure out how to run the slurpie machine " "no...just messing with the ford socialism lovers...some let emotion run over brain activity and think they have a right to a job...i dont have to buy yoda or the like...ford employees are handing it to the japs and do not need my help..on a serious note..i want ford stock price up..so if that means plant closings and the like so be it...you have to build a product people want along with zero defect per miles driven....having 600k f150's recalled is not the way to save ford.....mulaly knows this as well as myself..problem is does the guy on the line know or even give a damn? " "im glad its all been said before...others obviously get it....you are not guarantted a job at ford..im sorry...this is life..i own (F)...you work and make money for ford and me and yourself...if you do not like it go find a different job..you have been fed socialism...it has failed you....there are many positives at ford under mulally....two tier wage system is one of the biggest.....just remeber...every 1% of market share loss by ford means one less plant in operation...build cars and trucks people want along with high quality or you will be out on the street... " "the mustang is here only because of the hell that was raised in 1989.....i suspect you were still wearing your barney huggies...whats wrong with kirk?..if ford cannot return a profit on monies he has invested then get the hell out of the auto biz....do your job and dont produce crap....im with kirk 100%...make us some damn money or shut the doors..... "no as a shareholder i need ford to get its lame ass head out its butt and build cars people want...im tired of losing money on this damn company...ford either competes or gets the hell out of the auto biz...on the plus side...yes i have faith in mulally....boeing cant get a plane out the door since his departure...and just dont tell me focus is going to save ford...it looks like shit....problems at ford are imbedded deep in the culture from the janitor to the glass house to the socialists on the assembly line..im not giving up on ford...just not going to sugar coat the new products like some here.....ive still really never forgiven them for trying to turn the 89 probe into the mustang... " "its all ford emplyees who made crap from the top down....the union is as much to blame as top senior management...as soon as detroit thinks that thru the better off the company and the quaility will become...gotta admit..it looks bad when the union wants open ballots...that smacks of socialism...which is what unions are...anybody with a brian would do well to go around the block and get a non union job...so you make a buck less an hour...the lazy bastards get fired and the work environment is so much sweeter " "hatred?....no i do not hate unions...i hate unions that are socialist....and having open ballots smacks of intimidation..stalin would be proud his leagcy lives on in the modern union.....your comment on lazy workers is hysterical...fire the fuckers and let em wash windows on a street corner...oh wait you cant..there in the union and we have to protect the worthless lazy bastards..thats why detroit has failed...millions of yoda and honda owners have voted" And the mother of all posts... remember this when he wants an X-pin, please.......... "id like ford,gm,cerbus to bulldoze all us plants and move production out of this country....however....the union would still be bitching about something like striking over the fact union workers were not hired to pick up the bricks....

ibew124/uaw249 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Yes we had trades show up here in KCAP. I believe "meuaw" is mistaken. I do understand the concern though, as like the rest of you we are trying to make sure we have a job. I imagine those who just arriving at KCAP are discourged to find out we are losing a shift of truck. If it was me I wouldn't like either.
