Cobra12 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 In the flat rock state of the city address when the mayor was talking about project coming up in the city, he at one point says something along the lines of "possible expansion of operations of the ford facility". Any idea what this means? Video of the address can be found at the news herald web site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveyb Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Dunkman. That would be awesome. More people working, more people paying Union Dues (except for the clueless RTW people!), and a chance to work with dignity (8 Hours) and not gasping for air and neglecting my family. We should all be able to work 40 hours a week and make enough money to live a decent life. The Union was begun in part to give workers a way to NOT have to work a bizillion hours a year to make ends meet. We're all just people doing the best we can. Even Billy Fords and them are rumored to be actual people, doing the best they can. They're just doing the best they can to squeeze every penny they can out of us instead of paying a decent wage to their workers like old Henry did back in the day. I think he should come back to life and have a talking to with them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck734 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) 8 Hours ?? You don't know about AWS do you. Try 4 days at 10.7 hours. And if your in Skilled Trades your in for a treat 12 hours a day forced. Yippee. Edited March 21, 2015 by chuck734 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastmanstanding Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Back in the day.............. yes, I'm dating myself, for production - it was 12 hours a day ........... 5 days a week and 8 on Saturday........ B - Building in The Rouge....... Mustang, Comet, Maverick, and Cougar were built there. Ok, everything after 8 was OT....... the days were long.......... but the money was better....... and if you were Skilled Trades, it was 8 days a week............ the tradesmen out there know what I mean. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastmanstanding Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Now we got this; while FRAP expands Ford moves Focus and C-Max production out of Unitrd States.......... I guess that means Mexico....... http://www.clickondetroit.com/consumer/automotive/ford-to-end-production-of-focus-cmax-at-michigan-assembly-in-2018/34077406 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveyb Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 My prediction is that after the new contract is settled we will all be working. Which is a good thing. Hours TBD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
