MTP'er Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Here at ISA another round of buyouts are being offered but there the same as the old one. I think they said $40,000 cash or $20,000 car voucher and $20,000 cash. They couldn't get people to take it before so I guess they think they'll take it now? :stats: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They couldn't get people to take it before so I guess they think they'll take it now? :stats: If they really want the numbers to go up so they can hire "new lower rate employees" they should at least offer the same thing they did in the very first round. lets face it, the rules have changed since then. There was always the gen pool, now it's gone. I think if they offered the 4 year college plan with 50% pay they would get more than enough takers. To get a good degree in the medical field (what we would need to make even pay) it takes 4 years of school. Seems to me that all the old times that where ever going to leave have left, and all we have are the ones that will go out under the " toe tag retirement plan", if thats what they so choose then so be it. The company and the IUAW need to shift the focus on the other people that might be inclined to leave. Just my 2 cents worth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More trades heading to production in the rouge on Monday not to mention the tool and die plant with a big "hole" in the work load through 2010. There will be 118 (out of aprox. 170) tool and die makers laid off at the peak starting in Feb and ending in Sept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monroe B Gone Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Why are they cutting that many diemakers? The cuts are not Perm....just from Feb-Sept 2010, Like I said there's a hole in the program schedule. There will be 4 ILO's soon (was going to be today but union got them delayed) When the crown vic production ends we will loose t&d in the engine plant and the frame plant not sure on the numbers yet. Not looking good though for 2010. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not looking good though for 2010. I actually did hear today that they are taking buy-outs to the board of directors. They want another 2% reduction in work force, but I am also hearing the total US sales is on the up swing. Projected 12.5M units sold next year. that is HUGE!
