Job 1 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Three more weeks ! Can anyone confirm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deflep1 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Job 1 ,Are you asking if we have 3 more weeks in a row after this one? I don't think so. If you're asking if we have at least 3 more down weeks in the near future, yes we have a lot of down weeks scheduled as long as there's two shifts. If we go down to one shift (probably right after the Mustang launch--May, June or maybe July) then there won't be as many down weeks. We have to call the AAI emergency announcement # to confirm we'll be coming back to work Monday. But at AAI anything is possible and never say never!

The die came in yesterday and they ran some parts that were good. Production as usual starting on Monday. Also big shake down on supervisors. Dave Scarlberry fired and Tom Cline from Maintenance will be taking his place. Also 26 other salary were to go today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deflep1 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 It wouldn't suprise me if Scarberry got fired, there's a lot of bad management there, and a lot of blame to pin on salary, regardless if they deserve it or not. I hear Linda Bell in Unit 17 Final may be on her way out, she says she makes twice what her counterpart makes, and her performance record isn't good. That's a quick way to force the company to make an easy choice... you make too much and don't make us money.. BYE BYE!!! But you never know, some people we think will definately be gone, are still around and probably still be there Monday. It's a circus, but at at least it's an interesting circus!

el norte Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 (edited) Scarberry got fired?! Wish I could have seen that! LMAO he had his normal afternoon meeting with supervisors, and then security gave him a box to pack his shit and escorted him out! I doubt AAi will go to one shift. They want and will get 4 day work week which is supposed to help keep both shifts. Remember, sales will eventually pick back up. If slow sales were because of unwanted product then I would be worried. I think the new stang will sell as soon we start getting warmer weather, and I think the economy will pick up sooner then later. Nobody knows how this new stang will sell, but i'm sure sales will be decent. I have a few ace's up my sleeve, and I havent heard anything about additional weeks off. Guess you never know though!

Vito Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 The build is going up by the end of the week for Mustangs. The 4 tens is what will keep AAI from going to one shit. The Chairman is working very hard to get this done quick. It will take at least 6 weeks from inception of it though. Suppliers and such have to get up to par. I am all for a 3 day weekend.

I am all for a 3 day weekend. so that would put us at or around 4-20 for the four day work week................just in time for nice weather..............

deflep1 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I really hope the 4-10 hour day scenario would keep both shifts going. With Wayne stopping production next year, and the Focus going next door to MI assembly(the old MI truck), that eliminates 2 plants we could transfer to if we lost a shift. MI assembly would be using all Waynes' workers with some left over to work in stamping & body at Wayne for overflow. I've said for a long time we would most likely go down to one shift unless something changed and we squeeked by. The 4-10's might be the squeek factor! I wish us all luck, we're going to need it.
