ldf Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I believe Mulally's compensation was closer to 17 MILLION... you neglected did not include his stock options. No wonder Mulally told Congress... "I like it right where I'm at"... AND THE UAW IS TO BLAME FOR THE DOWNFALL OF THE DOMESTIC AUTO INDUSTRY? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the company is moving forward and he's leading the company. Who cares? All-Star catcher Joe Mauer and Minnesota completed an eight-year, $184 million deal. Now that's a joke!

mustang2 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I believe Mulally's compensation was closer to 17 MILLION... you neglected did not include his stock options. No wonder Mulally told Congress... "I like it right where I'm at"... AND THE UAW IS TO BLAME FOR THE DOWNFALL OF THE DOMESTIC AUTO INDUSTRY? High car prices, low quality killed GM, Chrysler and almost Ford. The unions killed the British auto industry and certainly added to American car prices Is Mulally worth the pay? I don't know. I do know that the union and the company are dependent on one another and that Ford's labor costs are the highest. And I do know the American Road without Mulally would have been even more pothole filled. Mulally did tell Congress that he would accept $1 a year if Ford required a bailout. By avoiding that the public's perception of Ford began to change. I'm out of a job because of foreign competition. Don't give the buyer a reason to shop the imports. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forddaughter Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Plain Dealer makes this much more PR friendly. He made the majority from stocks. Was only paid $1.4 million from Ford. The comments have been positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiredMotorCompany Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 http://money.cnn.com...y_pay/index.htm When people accuse the UAW of causing the auto industry's ills, they fail to recognize the Company signed the agreement! The UAW is a vendor. They negotiate the labor costs. The company accepts the deal. The UAW cannot unilaterally decide anything. The UAW can only ask for what it wants. Hold the company responsible for their weaknesses and failures to plan ahead. That being said, Alan Mulally DID keep Ford out of bankruptcy through foresight. I grant him that and cannot begrudge him compensation for that success. What I find outrageous is the compensation for CEOs of the other companies who failed their shareholders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I understand.. the Ford turnaround plan was already in place, Mullaly was just the talking head and positioned to take the fall, just in case. Don't discount the talent or loyalty of real Ford employees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allford1 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I think Ford fared better than GM and Cryco because they shit lucked with the timing of their restructure. Then with the contract, back peddle and closure of all the plants using the WE CAN"T COMPETE they dodged a bullet. What I am now waiting for is the toyota leaders to now play the same compete game and market share loss call back wages from employees and the cycle continue. I don't feel that this will be over for awhile. If toyota does that than Ford and the others will come calling again. Hope I'm wrong but this is not over. Don't carve me just enlighten me with your thoughts 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't carve me just enlighten me with your thoughts Toyoda is smart they closed there only UAW represented plant and they pay there line workers about 2 dollars more an hour than UAW worker so they can keep the turnover down and keep UAW voted out of there plants What Toyota will do to UAW is kill our Benefits Toyota Honda Nissan give there active employees about what UAW workers get ie yes they have sub pay/short work week at 80% they provide health insurance employee pays 10% and it goes up per dependent Problem is they have no retirees Oh yeah your going to see retirement cut in the next contract and more than likely it will be gone in 2015 by 2015 you will have a 2 tier membership and the ones making half with a 401 k retirement will say FU you did it by allowing me to do the same work you do for half the money and i struggle to feed my family while you bitch about your boat not starting this weekend I have been around and I have found that UAW thinks its immune well your not Before I got a job at Ford I was a Steelworker and thats happened to us GM Ford Crysler can not afford 1+ million retirees and dependents Get used to it UAW now has no retirement for new appointees to international union they get a 401k match ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't discount the talent or loyalty of real Ford employees. It's my understanding that much of the plan was in place, but it was DOA before they brought him in. He's an outsider, apparently with a set of brass balls, that could shake up the broken management system in Dearborn, and it appears that he did for the most part. They are second hand news to me, but I have heard stories about the talking heads in Dearborn that tried to bullshit their way past Mullaly, and he shot them down in flames, gave them one chance to get their shit together or they were gone. So it's possible that he's worth the money. I'm sure we could have gotten Wagnor or Nardelli(sp?) cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
