specelec Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 What's up with this??? UAW LOCAL 249 BULLETIN All hourly SUV production and support area employees (unless notified by your supervisor) will be on layoff from September 29, 2008 through October 5, 2008. All employees are scheduled to return to work the week of October 6, 2008 at your regularly scheduled start time. Taken from the KC UAW web site http://www.local249.org/breaking_news.htm Anyone have any insider information? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OAC_Sparky Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Anyone have any insider information? Yes. You do, that communication is meant for employees, not the general public. The plant makes more than one vehicle, one model line can be laid off while the other works. Don't be concerned about what happens in the plants. You're only going to get yourself worked up for nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be curious to know which "model line" is going to be idle. Its nice to keep up with what's happening at the plant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twolostminds Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Not sure if it is related but found out from my dealership today that our FEH (built 9/12) that was scheduled to arrive sometime between 9/22 & 9/29 won't ship from the plant until 10/2 or later. According to the sales manager no Hybrids are leaving the plant at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The preceding message was brought to you by all the people on this forum who post comments designed to make people like you and me feel like complete idiots for daring to seek the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth about what's really going on in regards to the production process of our (yes, I deliberately used "our" as in the possessive) vehicles. :shades: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking it's a good time to put the tracking on indefinite hiatus. ViperPilot, I am deeply sorry for all the negative posts toward Ford that have been posted here. I cannot speak for any of them but I will go on record as saying that I appreciate all you have done in the past. If these actions cause you to stop providing this service (on your free time) then it is a very bad thing indeed. I hope someone feels badly about their childish behaviors to have provoked this type of response. Thanks again for all your efforts. Some of us truly appreciate Ford, its employees and even the dealers that help us drive wonderful Ford products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking it's a good time to put the tracking on indefinite hiatus. Hey Viper Pilot...I've seen all that you've done for many, many people and just wanted to write to say thanks! You've provided a wonderful service and have been generous with your personal time. Like many, I am eager for my 09 FEHL and have grown increasingly frustrated with delays (I'm still awaiting a VIN, but have not been waiting nearly as long as most). Sorry that people's frustration was misdirected toward you. Thanks again for your service - it's been appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specelec Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 I feel badly that it happened, and hope that my thread had nothing to do with it. Thank You Viper Pilot for all that you have done, and I hope that in the future you will reconsider and if necessary not respond to those who have caused this problem. It's a sad day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
