Zora Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Like I said ask KC about that, you can follow your product.. Only if they do not change the Name....and only if the manpower is needed. Is what I've been told. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTPgal89 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Ky.... lower cost of living,better roads,better weather and you'll save money on shoes!!We don't wear any! I don't know about MI, but I transferred here from Indianapolis and the cost of livingi s much higher in KY than Indiana.

RawDeal10 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 There is something in the contract about you being able to follow your job. Ithink that this might something to do with cost for Ford in general. Also in there the plant that the product is going to has to be in a hiring mode. Now if the plant is not in a hiring mode and the plant has no one on layoff then you will be able to move down here that much qiicker. As for that pewrcentage thing, I don't think has anything to do with it. Keep in mind that your local will fight to get all of its laidoff people back before someone else goes to your plant. The part about bumping people at KTP, forget it. You can not go to another plant and bump someone out of their job. For one thing that is not your home plant and the IUAW will not let it happen. You are absolutely wrong about them needing to be in hiring mode. We took hundreds of people from the Ypsilanti plant within the past 2 years and we were definately not hiring. They transfered with their job! We in turn, have put people in jsp. Better check out "transfer of operations" agreement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTP'er Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 This is whats going to happen. There going to need extra people for the launch at KTP and they will ask MTP'ers if they would like to go and help with the launch. We will come down and when the launch is over and KTP will have to down size because of to many people guess who will stay and who will go. So think again.

waloud Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 According to a Ford official that was on the local news tonight, "Louisville plants still have to many workers. We are still looking for the buyout offers to help reduce the workforce." They also said that according to a high union official that they spoke with off camera, that transfers from MTP would be unlikely. The reasons they gave are: 1) Local employees are laid off. 2) There would have to be jobs available. 3) MTP is not closing. Only shutting down temporarily to retool for new product. I wish everyone the best of luck. We all know that the contract is just a piece of paper. I believe what Ford and the union say when I see it happen.

Zora Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 You can souldbouy doesn’t know what he’s talking about. They will go by percentage of trucks that come to KTP i.e. they add 10 % more production they will allow 10% of MTP to transfer to KTP. And yes the can bump KTP workers, just ask KC about when the mariner cam from Lorraine. You can not bump workers out of their home plant. No one can.......anywhere.

Nobody in Louisville is interested in Detroit, now or then. But there seems to be an avalanche of people dying to leave Detroit for Louisville. By the way, since you are talking out of your ass, it's apparent you are unaware Ford has had assembly plants in Louisville for over 95 years -- before the $5 Days ever came along. And something else you're wrong about -- During the Civil War, Louisville was in the Union, not the Confederacy. Are you right about anything?

And something else you're wrong about -- During the Civil War, Louisville was in the Union, not the Confederacy. Are you right about anything? Yeah, their right about losing their product. Look Louisville and Kentucky for that matter have a sense of pride and heritage equal to none. After all they do say we are the gateway to the south. Those people you say that went up north when ole Henry offered $5 a day, were to stupid to realize we had a Ford plant here. Therefore you can keep them. I have several good friends who are at LAP and some said if they would have a chance to come back top KTP they would. They would have came back the last time it was offered but that plan got changed on them. The quote from the contract is dead accurate. Look it up if you know how to read that is. Oh before I forget, the ones who keep saying I do not know what I am talking about, I forgot more than you will ever learn about our contract. You can not bunp anyone out of their home plant. You can not transfer to another plant unless there is A. Either an opening or B. They have probationers. Sorry about your luck, but put that up your ass this winter and maybe it will help keep you warm. Now on the soft side, I wouldn't mind some of your people coming down here, I like to meet people from different areas. I think some of you might very well have damn good ideas. I for one would love to hear them. I hate to sound like an ass but too many people look at their contracts and say this is bull shit. Or they look at their local contracts and take it as gospel for the rest of the Ford world. In either case good luck to what ever happens for you, I wish you the best of luck.

Are you right about anything? my bad kentucky was a union state but they did support slavery so not much difference and you say ford has been there for over 95 years that would be 1913 and that’s when the first moving assembly line was inaugurated at highland park mi. and it was jan. 1914 when he offered the $5 dollar day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmccap Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Lower cost-of-living, better roads, and just for the simple fact that you will be out of Michigan. Home of the one state recession for the past 5 years. Either you are just lying or your a true socialist. You just told me you wanted the gas tax raised why??? Sounds like a good idea. The roads around here are crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
