Fatso Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) I read an article in the news about the difficulty Ford is having with the New Explorer launch.I guess CAP has problems like "Roving groups of workers are intimidating other employees,creating a hostile environment".JIM HACKETT knew this before he invested billions into CAP.WEAK MANAGEMENT and a lousy workforce=$$$ lost and eventually the plant will close.The same thing happened with Fords Plant that assembled the LTD,decades ago.JIM HACKETT is over his head.So "roving groups",you mean like,GANGS of employees are slashing tires and messing with others property and sabotaging the product launch?Fan-FUCKING {go ahead suspend me}-Tastic.I always noticed how totally unprofessional the majority of Ford salaried managers are,they are mostly narcissistic and just turn into the leaders of cliques,handing out deals or punishment.Ford lower level managers,most I have run into,have no administrative skills whatsoever.I am sure the majority of the workforce would not mind the gangs getting broke-up, because people like to feel safe at work.Ford`s bottom line is also our financial security.No wonder 'ididntdoit' wants a buyout so bad,I dont blame him.Ford management is to blame for this disaster!Customers decide all our fates!Customers want quality!

The management pick and choose who they enforce zero tolerance on, there's no union reps available to back members who are being written up for stupid things. A lot of power tripping managers that are causing more issues with their bad judgment calls pushing to get those numbers. Some workers get revenge for being fired, last major layoff they vandalized the line causing millions in damage. Hell yes this is why I want out, I could go on and on with the good bad and ugly of CAP. But I want to retire, so I'll save it for my best seller book.

Good Luck to you,no one should have to fear for their safety or get bullied at work either by fellow workers,the union or managers.Hey I was reading an analyst opinion, that Ford may offer buyouts to lower the amount of legacy employees.We wont know with certainty whats gonna happen until its our turn at the plate.Shame of it ,is the fact that many good people living in the USA, would love a chance to have one of those Ford jobs at CAP.

You sure you are not salary LOL? People not showing up? What else is new? Been that way since I hired in. You are wrong about the GM contract. Its 2000 hourly plus the people at the plants being shutdown that is many workers,at least 5600. Plus over half of the buyouts last contract at Ford went unused. We will see but my bet is you are wrong on many of the things you have said. Why would they give 40 year plus people buyouts? It is pretty obvious they are not leaving for any kind of buyout since they had at least 4 contracts to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decker Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 You got those old Free Press papers out of the bottom of your tool box again, Cecil? come on labor observers really..... lets see sometimes the less than accurate free press uses oh lets say a labor expert references at times too.

caustic Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 On 10/17/2019 at 3:55 PM, deflep1 said: They are now on a quicker timescale to max out at the $28 top in progression rate, then get a raise to match Legacy. I should have explained further that 7 year seniority workers get bumped to Legacy pay with their next raise, and 6 year workers jump to $28, then to $29 and then Legacy. They get contractual raises in Sept. and 52 week raises whenever their next service year starts. Everyone is on a quicker path to receive Legacy pay and it will depend on when their 52 week raises occur. We at Flat Rock have a ton of 2012 and 2013 employees, so most of them are going to top out within 18 months and catch up to Legacy rate when we all get the Sep 2020 3% raise. They are not on a quicker scale. They already put in 4-6 years. Page 86 of their TA also shows a still in place 8 year progression. Anyone hired after ratification is still on an 8 year path. They said some temps with 3 years of fulltime temps will be converted. That does not apply to flex temps that can work 30-50 hours a week. Only those classified as fulltime temporary. It also does not specify how many they have to convert. GM's offer is garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
