deflep1 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Focus and C-Max will be built in Mexico starting in 2018. Ford insists MAP will not close. This is our first round of scare tactics coming our way with negotiations just starting. The company will threaten to move product out of the country to see what we will give up to keep the cars here. They are playing hardball and we have a tough fight ahead of us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some sites say production will move to Mexico, others just say out of the country. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
182 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 MAP will become entirely Tier 2 to keep the doors open. Legacy will be moved to Livonia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTP'er Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Go ahead and put all tier 2 at MAP, cause no matter who you move to where ever the cost is always going to be there until tier 1 retire. Robbing peter to pay paul. Its all a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlecountry Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 MAP will become entirely Tier 2 to keep the doors open. Legacy will be moved to Livonia. Tier 3 will be at Livonia and Tier 1 will be working the assembly line at all Ford plants and Tier 2 will be doing all the jobs off the assembly line. The new Ford way!!!

Fatso Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 One way to resolve the two tier issue is for Ford to offer buyouts to higher seniority personnel.Take the $$$$ and don't let that door knob hit ya in the ass on your way out the door cuz NO ONE is getting an hourly raise and productivity must be increased.Buyouts and signing bonuses might do the trick to get a new contract passed-barely!

fuzzymoomoo Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 If they really want to increase productivity, how about enforcing the already laxed attendance policy and get rid of the people that can't be bothered to show up?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thezip Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I was told that we will go to relief and a line speed increase. Then relief would end around mid September with a return to a 4 10 schedule Monday thru Thursday. I'm on b crew maybe an a crew person can ring in with what rumor they heard??

When is tag relief supposed to start? Also more people are coming over from paint and body either this week or next. Just will add to even more people standing around, there's already a lot of them now. I heard the tier 2's who didn't make the final cut where supposed to stay until at least September but with the added people coming over I can't see them staying that long.

thezip Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Yea paint and garage people who didn't make the cut. As for tag I was told in the next couple weeks, could be just one of the rumors??? Fourth quarter production is also supposed to hold some down weeks? Why would we go to relief with a production decrease? That's why I posted the above.

Why would we go to relief with a production decrease? That's why I posted the above. Any word on how many from paint are coming over?? I heard down weeks in September, and also if numbers are down I'm not understanding us working 5/10's or close to it like we have been Edited July 13, 2015 by focusfrank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
