CandyCane Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Map or Dtp both have the best job security. You can't go wrong with either plant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailfndr Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Its been serious for a long time..Unfortunatly, many people refused to believe it and now face a decision that could possibly hurt much more than it needed to. Ford was always serious about selling the Saline plant, your Local UAW reps, wanted you to hold out, and in the process Lied to everyone to get them to stay. But no worries...They all landed premium jobs and let the rest of you suffer whatever you end up with. Plus, Ole Tom K, protectred his kids,and got them jobs without regard to senority, and all the while fed everyone still at the plant a line of buillshit. I wish those remaining the best of luck...its not gonna be an easy transition for many. Assembly plants are no joke! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandyCane Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Yea I wish I would have had the luxury of working at a parts plant, instead all I know is assembly and believe me I have aged quickly. It's no joke chasing that vehicle doing the same overloaded job in less than a minute for 10 or more hours! Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pullthecord Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 When the PC told me that the Saline plant will always be here, I knew I had to transfer. Politicians rarely tell the truth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morepie Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 DTP has the best worker turnover, (many go to medical and none return) because they get fired and the UAW supports it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CandyCane Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 It's all of joke! Parts plants never should have made the same wage as an assembly plant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morepie Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 (edited) The profits all come from parts plants..SRP and SALINE make an annual profit of like 90 million, this is why Mullaly got huge bonuses for putting people out of work and closing these plants down... Alan has secured his job for as long as he wants it at Ford and the longer he works there the more jobs will be put out to pasture. Keep voting yes on these contracts and you won't have a job down the road. Alan said there as going to be 7,000 jobs created at ford this year, Wheres the jOBS?

Goongala Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Yea I wish I would have had the luxury of working at a parts plant, instead all I know is assembly and believe me I have aged quickly. It's no joke chasing that vehicle doing the same overloaded job in less than a minute for 10 or more hours! Good Luck! Sure, compared to work at a parts plant, Assembly line work is tough stuff. But the way you hear some people describe production line work, you'd think Ford would have all kinds of worker turnover. Line work isn't quite as terrible as some would like you to believe. Sure, if your job is hopelessly overloaded thats one thing, but in general line work isn't the worst thing ever. The truth is, is that there are people that are either lazy or badly out of shape (soprry if anyone is offended) or even both who make line work out to be like being slaves being forced to work in the mines. Line work is only as bad as you make it out to be. Once you've learned the job and your body has adapted you should be fine. Here at MAP we've had a lot of new hires who came from parts plants quit which totally blows me away. These people put however many years into Ford in the hopes of being picked up full time/permanent, and then they have to work on the line and they quit. By doing that they have basically made the last several years of their life (however long they spwnt as an LTS) a complete waste of time IMO. And a lot of them, from what I understand, quit within the first week. They didn't even give the job or themselves a chance to get used to the work. Good luck to anyone coming to an assembly plant from a parts plant. I hope you end up in a good departmentand on a good line and get a job that isn't overloaded.
