Footballfan Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 GM is going to produce its midsize models in three plants (perhaps a fourth). Do you think Ford will add Fusion production to a second plant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain723 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 A flexible body shop is not cheap labor!!!! The Fusion is built in Mexico because of cheap labor not because Mexico had a flexible body shop... You obviously do not know the history behind the fusion. It was originally supposed to be made at Atlanta and the overflow was going to be Mexico. So I do not see why they would build an entire new plant just to run a couple thousand more!

biggtone Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Mexico will increase production before they build it here..................If FORD wanted to build the Fusion here in the USA then Atlanta would have gotten it like planned...... I predict....it will be built at WAP which will not only not close down when MAP goes online but also...get the mustang after AAI closes doors after 2011 negotiations...

I would predict, if I had to just the opposite- it would go to AAI. AAI has had a lot more upgrades in recent years than WAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the company had to give some type of bonus' back to salary. The Corporate world is obviously competitve. Salary people move from job to job, from company to company. Look around your plant, how many salary people do you know that have been there for 30 years? At CAP, we constantly have new faces in salary. Their jobs are not like ours. They do not have the protection or benefits we have. They can be released at anytime, and they can leave at anytime. It is no secret that Ford is turning around. Competing companies want our people. Ford needed to do this or risk losing key people. If any of us could leave for a better job we would, we stay at Ford because we have to!! I strongly believe we will get some of the things we lost, back in 2011. But I'm not foolish enough to think that Ford is going to give us a penny extra out of the kindness of their heart. They won't do this until they have to!! I know it's frustrating to see what's going on and its easy to take things at face value, but sometimes you have to look at the whole picture. If Ford continues to turn this around WE WILL ALL BENEFIT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el norte Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I would predict, if I had to just the opposite- it would go to AAI. AAI has had a lot more upgrades in recent years than WAP. the fusion is built around the mazda6 platform. So, I think it has a better chance of going to AAI. Seems like the plant would require less modifications. Plus, our quality is pretty good too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
