Focus and C-Max will be built in Mexico starting in 2018. Ford insists MAP will not close. This is our first round of scare tactics coming our way with negotiations just starting. The company will threaten to move product out of the country to see what we will give up to keep the cars here. They are playing hardball and we have a tough fight ahead of us.

Some sites say production will move to Mexico, others just say out of the country.

One way to resolve the two tier issue is for Ford to offer buyouts to higher seniority personnel.Take the $$$$ and don't let that door knob hit ya in the ass on your way out the door cuz NO ONE is getting an hourly raise and productivity must be increased.Buyouts and signing bonuses might do the trick to get a new contract passed-barely!

I was told that we will go to relief and a line speed increase. Then relief would end around mid September with a return to a 4 10 schedule Monday thru Thursday. I'm on b crew maybe an a crew person can ring in with what rumor they heard??

When is tag relief supposed to start? Also more people are coming over from paint and body either this week or next. Just will add to even more people standing around, there's already a lot of them now. I heard the tier 2's who didn't make the final cut where supposed to stay until at least September but with the added people coming over I can't see them staying that long.

Yea paint and garage people who didn't make the cut. As for tag I was told in the next couple weeks, could be just one of the rumors??? Fourth quarter production is also supposed to hold some down weeks? Why would we go to relief with a production decrease? That's why I posted the above.

Any word on how many from paint are coming over?? I heard down weeks in September, and also if numbers are down I'm not understanding us working 5/10's or close to it like we have been
