lucymi37 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Did anyone recieve a certified letter today or a phone call about what plant you are going to ? Left on Wednesday and was told they could possibly call that night or on Friday but haven't heard anything. Just wondering if anyone else heard.

firedude26 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 i have a question for the MTP people or anyone else that might know this. if they keep those people on layoff threw the first of the year, will they get the vacation pay for xmas or just unemployment and sub? i thought there was something to do with being laid off the week before and then threw a holiday which makes it so you dont collect the holiday pay, just layoff money.

Supposedly production are to get called back for a 1 day "orientation", thus maintaining Holiday pay eligabilty. I've not seen it in writing, only heard it on the floor before we said our goodbyes.

MTPwife Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Yeah i am sure you was the only one to call him today also. wonder why people say what they say. people that dont follow directions are usually last to know.............. Yeah but what kind of directions firedude? It was basically we'll call ya when we call ya. No idea at all, or how about you'll be laid off, that would be handy to know. Certainly feeling like the MTP folk are'nt exactly a high priority over there does'nt ease one sense of security, especially when we all heard so many different stories. So hell yeah we'll call & ask if there is any info, to at least try to lessen one's fears. :shades: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
