mikem12 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Word got to DTP's committee rep's last night that they will extend the buyouts until June 22nd. They will have to extend it further and open it to "all" who would like to take it. There are skilled trades wanting the buy out but have been refused!

kel25 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Word got to DTP's committee rep's last night that they will extend the buyouts until June 22nd. Is this true or is it some B.S. rumor ? because that would be great if they did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoopy Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 http://www.freep.com/article/20090521/BUSI...05210799/?imw=Y I know this has been said before, But I believe it is worth repeating. If Ford Mo. Co. is serious in this resession to lower the rank and file, They need to stimulate the buyouts not down size the amounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiteford Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 If FORD would offer $140,000 to leave company,FORD would be hiring 2nd tier off the street within 6 months.... I have to agree with you 100%. Many of us that were sitting in JSP now on ILO talked about this many time's and most would have taken the 140 IF it would have been offered.

soupy Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 With the jsp being gone they have no incentive to up the buyouts. Ford may not have anymore incentive to offer another buyout let alone a richer one. The only reason this current one was offered was because of the consessions that were just agreed to .

Wrong the incentive is getting second tier workers on the line and shedding the current active workforce numbers until traditional wage workers are gone or no longer have a voting majority come contract times. That would be my incentive if I where top brass and looking at the current labor contracts. Lets be honest think about the saving the company gets, second tier workers get 1. half the hourly pay; they save $10 per hour on labor 2. half the medical type benefits; about $10,000 per employee savings right there 3. no pension to look forward too; savings of billions when they become eligible for retirement Even if they get to the traditional wages bracket there benefits stay entry level, should the company need any more incentive than that ?

I'd take the $140k in a heartbeat. Apparently, someone at Ford "hearts" us so much, they won't offer us enough to leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that the only reason they are offering a buyout is to get 2 tier workers in, but the current contract says that only 20% will ever be 2 tier, unless they snuck it in on the last concessions that they don't have to stick to that number.
