DSPF150 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 The governor in the state of Michigan orders all unessential business to close and the employees to stay at home until April 13th and the first thing Ford Motor Co does is try to get a exemption to have us come in to work. All of the dealerships are closing for 3 weeks, everyone is out of work and they say to stay 6’ apart and they think that we should be building trucks? Are you f***ing kidding me? Are we trying to stop the spred or prolong it? It’s about time the people that run this company get their head out of their ass and do the right thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decker Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 The people that run this company do at times have their heads up their asses but, the people that control this company have and always will have their heads in their wallet. How many F series truck are built for police, fire, rescue units and FEMA? How many Explorers are built for police, fire, rescue units and FEMA? KCAP, KTP, MAP and CAP you all bee`s deemed essential. Every body else report to the cafeteria to start training on how to sew masks..... There has been a back log of rescue and service units for months so CAP`ers enjoy whatever time you`ve had off cause.... remember the super dupers? they be a commin.

Fatso Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 A 2 trillion dollar "stimulus" package has been agreed to by Congress that will pay laid off workers an additional $600 a week on top of what state UIC pays.In Michigan UIC pays $362.That plus $600 would equal $962 per week for up to 4 months.What is the incentive to work and risk infection?Just because some one has to have taxes deducted from their pay stub?Stay closed!!!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford is planning to resume production at Hermosillo Assembly Plant on April 6 on one shift.

To support these assembly plants, Ford also is aiming to resume production April 14 at: · Dearborn Stamping Plant · Dearborn Diversified Manufacturing Plant · Integrated stamping plants within Kansas City and Kentucky Truck plants · Sharonville Transmission Plant · Portions of Van Dyke Transmission, Lima Engine and Rawsonville Components plants We will continue to assess public health conditions as well as supplier readiness and will adjust plans if necessary.

ambulldog615 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Wouldn’t sub pay be a lot less then normal? Since the $600 is added to the UIC, less Ford has to compensate.

Decker Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) Supplemental Unemployment Benefit is just that. It supplements the State Unemployment benefit payments (that`s why SUB checks are different from state to state) to bring your unemployment gross and SUB gross combined income to an 80% level of your Ford 40 hour gross earnings. If your gross earnings for any laid off week meets or exceeds the 80% SUB established limit, no sub will be paid. With the $600 fun money the Fed is, chances are or in time going to send may need to be claimed as income during the week of Unemployment benefits are certified for. Now think of those broke ass states like Illinois, do you really think the Prickster won`t or one his political idiots think of reducing the unemployment checks or they will just look the other way? Reduce unemployment benefits? No SUB benefits? Possibilities are there.... maybe not. Edited March 27, 2020 by Decker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sterling Archer Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 So what is the plan for Good Friday and Easter Monday if we are still off? How will that work with unemployment if we are paid for the holidays? Will they end up giving us SWW and holiday pay or will we have to claim earnings to unemployment? I havent had to claim unemployment in 23 years so this is all new to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah okay BUT the $600 in additional "funny money" supplements the State money and I am gonna guess Ford will be able to keep their Sub pay.The intention of SUB pay is to gaurantee that an employee is compensated 80% of their pay while laid off.Trying to 'split hairs' by saying that the states portion of the total compensation received by the laid-off employee is seperate from what the feds are stepping in to additionally pay the laid-off employee is not going to matter, so long as the combination of the 2 equals at a minimum 80% of the employees take home pay.Nice try though!

Decker Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 (edited) Hopefully Ford will live up to all that "we aren`t just a company we are family" talk and just issue SUB as it is agreed on in the master agreement. The Fed`s stated the fun money was in "addition" to regular unemployment benefits soooo hopefully our Dearborn Ford family members will leave us some of the pie???? As for the two holidays coming up, I`d have to look it up to be certain but, I think we`d have to work a certain number of day`s prior to the holiday to be eligible for holiday pay. Then being a Friday and Monday that would trigger short work week benefits for both weeks. "If" that event was to happen that would cancel SUB and unemployment for those weeks. Would the fun money still kick in? We`d would still be on a laid off status, technically. But really who the hell knows what will actually happen. Try to stay healthy and try knot to be made to take up residency in a room with bars.... we have an increase in domestic related bookings in the Best City in the World. "Stay at home" ahhh the side effects. Edited March 29, 2020 by Decker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the old timers back in the late 80’s talking about collecting government benefits for months in the 70s or 80 from some government program (TRA or TNP or something) and then they ended up having to pay it all back when they got called back to work.

Any Grey Beards remember that? Yep Dayshift you`re right, and there were members that had to pay back 3, 4 or more thousands of dollars. The weekly bricks on their checks to pay back the "Over Payments of The Trade Relief Act" took a long time to stop. That brings up the current relief act payments, the $1200 check will reduce next years income tax refunds, this is the paying back of the no interest loan "relief aid" payments. That's why the is question raises about the $600 weekly unemployment supplement being added in to your earned income for state unemployment certification. We may still think this is a relief act but, get down into the numbers and it looks more like (to this old Purdue bean counter) a loan.... (interest free? not really) What the hell is with the sheepie panic thingy, I mean toilet paper and bottled water? I`m not a book of facer or twit but I hear from those sheets that are, stating there are knuckleheads bragging about having 2 or 3 hundred rolls of butt wipe. Come on sheep butt holes are like opinions every ewe has one. Now... sheepies do and most always have many, many opinions but... go ahead back up to that mirror and look there it is... just one... yep sheepies there`s only one butt hole. Sooo way would any sheep need 2 or 3 hundred rolls of butt wipe? Hang on this goofy shit is gunna get even stranger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
