jerrymaker Posted July 31, 2024 Share Posted July 31, 2024 The place is a ghost town, only a couple dozen people working. Lots of people off on tlo,s . All management still working. Not sure if anyone has heard anything about tool and die, seems like a sinking ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skilled one Posted September 23, 2024 Share Posted September 23, 2024 Dearborn, MI – The Tool & Die Unit at Ford’s River Rouge Complex will strike on Thursday, September 26 if local contract issues are not resolved. After Ford Motor Company has failed to reach a local agreement with the UAW Local 600, Tool & Die Unit at the Rouge Complex more than a year past the contract deadline, UAW Vice President Chuck Browning has received authorization from UAW President Shawn Fain to set a strike deadline for 11:59 p.m., Wednesday, Sept 25. The core issues in the Tool & Die Unit’s local negotiations are job security, wage parity for Skilled Trades, as well as work rules. In addition to the UAW’s national contracts, UAW members negotiate local agreements around plant-specific issues at each facility.

skilled one Posted September 26, 2024 Share Posted September 26, 2024 Dearborn, MI – UAW Local 600’s Tool & Die Unit at Ford’s Rouge Complex has reached a tentative local agreement with Ford Motor Company. A deal was secured that strengthens job security by protecting against the impacts of advancements in 3D printing, along with establishing a process to secure additional die work as required. Additionally, the UAW achieved an agreement to eliminate the wage disparity for skilled trades, ensuring fair and equal pay across the board. Now, the roughly 500 UAW members at the Dearborn facility will review the details of the agreement and hold a ratification vote in the coming days. If ratified, the agreement will set a new standard for the skilled trades at Ford. “The members at the Rouge Complex understand the power of strength in numbers,” said UAW Vice President Chuck Browning. “They stuck together and showed Ford that they were willing to stand up if necessary to win what they deserve.” UAW.ORG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
