All of Salines launch problems have been solved. Tom K just announced that Duane Cumpher and Lou Ellis are coming back to handle this launch

MAP is down to 4 hours a day because Saline cannot make IP's!! What is the problem at Saline??

The UAW people at Saline are not to blame for this launch. They are being forced to work 7 days 12 hours for 90 straight days and are doing their best. The management at Saline is blaming Ford for their changes, but the truth of the matter is the management at Saline is subpar to say the least. If they applied the same energy to the Focus line that they do to swearing at employees or disregarding the contract this would be a successful launch, but as things are we are screwed.

You can't be forced to work those hours. Mandatory is only 9 hours a day, two Saturdays on one off, and unless they put the plant on the "critical" list, you cannot be forced to work on Sunday.

They are on critical or launch whatever they are calling it now. I have worked seven twelves voluntarily and hated it after a while I cannot imagine being forced to work it for 90 straight days

Sounds like they need to hire another shift and work 3 8's. You can only put a plant on critical for so long. IIRC, it's like 3 to 6 months. They only put us on it once at Monroe that I remember and it doesn't last long.

WOW!!! 7 12's and they can only make 400 parts a day, 200 for days and 200 for afternoons?????????????? What will happen when MAP is fed with having to shut the line down every single day after only 4 hours??????
