madime39 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Has anyone heard of any upcoming buyout offers? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlecountry Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Ford will not offer any more buyouts because of all the 2nd Tier. Ford is not gonna buyout a 2nd Tier employee therefore if they offered buyouts to only 1st Tier it would be considered discrimination so your out of luck, you should have took your buyout years ago! Enjoy the work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal50 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Buyouts at select locations........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy the work! 1) Based on my post, I don't know why you would assume that I am "out of luck", or that I "should have took" (really? "took"?) a buyout years ago - I asked a straightforward question, and you clearly have no insight as to WHY I asked; 2) I was told from a fairly reliable source that says buyouts will be offered again, and I was simply curious if anyone else had heard this. Thanks for the information cal50 and wildosvt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmooret Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Thanks for the replies. Haven't been offered here at LAP so apparently it is only at select locations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diggerjuly Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 At this point I would take a buyout right now. Have heard nothing but rumors. If there are any, and I can get one, "I'm gone". If anyone here's anything, PLEASE, let me know.............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ktp1989 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Why would the company not offer a buyout every contract? Every time a legacy cost employee comes off the books and a two tier employee is hired it's good for Ford and stockholders. Lower salary, no benefits, no retirement and zero legacy costs....and they are happy to have the job and will do twice as much. Common sense as to why they won't offer them!

2seater Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Happy to have the job? ? Lol. All we have heard at LAP is how unhappy they are & how unfair they are treated. We have new hires right off the street driving forks on c crew & complaining about how hard their job is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard Driver Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Wildosvt....another "my buddy" story. Yeah, these always have merrit! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildosvt Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) Wildosvt....another "my buddy" story. Yeah, these always have merrit! He just text me that he miss read the handbill and was told wrong by his union rep. Sent a few pics of it to me as well. 2nd Tier is not eligible. But that is the only mistake. It IS going on at Rawsonville. Edited February 4, 2014 by wildosvt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildosvt Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Hard Driver, Here is that crow you ordered. Save me a wing for the misstep. As I said. He may have been misinformed by his Rep. and didn't read carefully the first time around ( he doesn't give two shits about a package). But when I say something, I stand behind it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailfndr Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Why would the company not offer a buyout every contract?

Lower salary, no benefits, no retirement and zero legacy costs....and they are happy to have the job and will do twice as much. Common sense as to why they won't offer them! It would not work that way. According to the contractual language, once the two tier (with exception of two parts plants) hits 20% of the work force, the highest seniority 2nd tier is moved to first tier So in the long run, Ford saves nothing by having more buy-outs from 1st tier. It only saves until we hit that 20% threshold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diggerjuly Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) So, buyouts are going on right now at Rawsonville. I remember, in the last buyout you could transfer, on paper, to the building offering the buyout, and retire. With the buyout. Of course, the building would have to agree, if for no other reason, they didn't have enough people that wanted to go. Just wondering...........

All I was told, in November, was that Ford would be offering buyouts "at the beginning of the year". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Stephenson Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 wildosvt can you provide me with screenshots of page 1-7 im looking for the terms and conditions because... there seems to be a miscommunication regarding the rehire rights of those that took the buyout...some are saying they remember being told eligible after 2 yrs. leadership has told me that was only for EDOPP but i took the STEP and other people i know that took the STEP say the same thing..... after 2 yrs they can go back... it doesnt make sense why they would rather hire inexperienced people off the street than bring back old workers for less money than they made before. but anyway...does anyone have the documentation with "FINE PRINT" i cannot find mine i dont remember getting a copy of what i signed... but i want to see where it mentions the 2 year thing. if anyone replies to this please email me rts_computers@charter.net screenshots would be appreciated.
