Ididntdoit Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Because they're offering scooters and train rides instead of buyouts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decker Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 "union rep" now that`s a reliable source of information... If a lump sum is what so many are waiting for to close the door behind them, why wasn`t that ticket taken one of the 3 or 4 prior offers? I hope I`m wrong for all those lump summers sake but, with the numbers reaching what they are for all those half price or less laborers, the need to "get us out" with a lump group is getting less important to the company. If $150K or $130K is ever offered (not likely) again lumppers should jump on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ididntdoit Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Ford hasn't announced their restructuring plan, no one knows if there will be or not. I believe something will be offered. I don't see the exploder and new lincoln keeping Chicago in overtime running 3 shifts after retooling. All those newly rolled over hourly will be idle for awhile if they're called back at all unless the company makes some offers to legacy to cut the fat. And not many will be able to transfer from other plants that might go idle How many plants and hourly workers do you think they'll need to produce what 5-6? types of SUV/trucks? Early retirement, separation, pension buyouts will all be greatly considered by thousands if the company was wise enough to offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine just like when they were closing our plant in St.Louis and the Union officials said there would be no more transfers and then 3 weeks later 3 or 4 more plants had transfer offers for St Louis employees. I have learned while being at Ford for over 30 years when a Union official says something like that they are usually wrong the vast majority of time.....or lying lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
