CSMJ Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Ford's gotta be real careful with the job postings!!! If they would of added the 3rd shift in Lima and brought in 175-350 people then now they would need to layoff 1 shift and lets just say that would not be a pretty site!!! Paying 30K to 175-350 to move then laying off 350 to JSP would of been a waste of $$!!!!! Look at Oakville, they added a 3rd shift then 1 week later cancelled it!! WTF If they are going to pay someone to move they better have it right!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pioneer Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Oakville never added the 3rd shift,it was cancelled the week before it was suppose to start.... Don't confuse him with facts. He lives in his own little world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Back-Glass-Ass Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Its been cancelled, you might want to put in for the AAI postings, great working environment great stupid-visors great everything. AAI sucks ass. Nothing like calling line time at 3 oclock every day, standing there with your lunch box in your hand and waiting for some idiot that you can barely understand announce if you can go home or have to stay 2 more hours. Try scheduling your family around that stuff. Also there is nothing like working 50 feet from a guy who can hold day shift with 2 years less seniority then you but you have to go to afternoons because you were placed in a "unit" that has higher seniority... Nothing like working on an afternoon shift that doesn't start until 6:54 PM everyday. Nothing like working in a Plant that will not pay you short work week when they decide to short shift you even though the National Agreement states that you are supposed to be payed it. God forbid that you bring something up like this to the people around you also, because all you will get is that "THIS IS THE MAZDA WAY AND IT IS THE BEST WAY!!" AAI sucks ass, the majority of the people are more worried about what YOU are doing and why YOU are leaving 2 minutes early... Those are just a couple things I have picked up on in the last couple of months. At least the jobs are easy compared to other assembly plants.

TheEagle Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Its been cancelled, you might want to put in for the AAI postings, great working environment great stupid-visors great everything. The posting are getting ready to be put up.. Jim Mod has been trying to stop UTICA and Sterling people from exercizing thier contractual rights and Bob King has helped him do that. I heard that VanDyke will be adding soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flint Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 You forgot the one where they eliminated our weekly meetings in order to make more cars WITHOUT having to pay out overtime! That's our union here at AAI. Wonder what they got in return???? AAI sucks ass.

t5z4 Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 What kind of seniority do you think it will take? Utica should get all the postings seeing the plant is closing, Sterling and Romeo are Ford plants Utica is not! When Utica closes there out of work.

t5z4 Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 You bring all your time with you unless you have earlier then I think 1984 then you can only bring from that date to present. Something like that, not sure on what date is used. So if you hired in 1980 you ca only use 84 so you lose 4 years of plant time not Ford time, you always have your Ford time.
