182 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Now can you idiots stop transferring to Livonia ? Has the word got back that its not what they thought it was? All the Wayne people are now working on the line, just like we said they would be. You got new working coming, stop taking our jobs at Livonia.

trailfndr Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) 182.. No worries...170 MORE postings went up today for Livonia...Obviously you folks NEED more people. And YES It was posted at MAP And from the WAYNE people that I talk to that went to Livonia...NOT all are on the line...Some took job bids already...Worried about YOUR job yet? You should be, you little whiner Edited August 26, 2015 by trailfndr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
182 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Most Wayne people suck. They all had good jobs at MAP and now are working the line or bid into jobs they have no business doing. Most that took bids are now looking to find other jobs and some have asked to go back to Wayne. Many thought they were coming over to work in 4R. Yes, 4R. Think about that for a second. My hope is all you stupid ass high senioty people leave MAP, come to Livonia, and I get laid off and go to MAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
182 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 BTW the 170 posted are for midnights on the assembly line. 6R lines going to three shifts in October. Day shift is 25-46 years seniority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzymoomoo Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) I've heard the ones that left MAP and went to FRAP are asking to go back to MAP also... Not any that I've talked to. I myself don't want to go back. I would rather go to DTP before I go back to MAP. Edited August 26, 2015 by fuzzymoomoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailfndr Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) Those that I have talked to are HAPPY at Livonia. But no worries, Most of those coming will have the years needed to bump you away from day shift Nothing worse that a low seniority, big talking IDIOT! Love putting them in their place.... And the only reason YOU think they suck, is that WE have more seniority than YOU do. Edited August 26, 2015 by trailfndr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike the pike Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) Why are they idiots? These aren't your jobs , they have the right to available positions in the system by bidding and seniority . Map received 100's from frap, Livonia, Wixom and plants further than that . Most that are going to transfer will have 22+ years and work on the line NOW. Edited August 26, 2015 by mike the pike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cal50 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 The Focus is a high volume vehicle and I would hate to see it sourced outside the USA and replaced by a lower volume truck. I think that would be a bad trade of platforms Focus to Ranger. It should be sourced to the plant that has floor space and truck line up like OHAP or KTP.

Pinto'77 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Could Ford bring back a Michigan-built Ranger pickup? http://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/ford/2015/08/26/ford-ranger-michigan-assembly-uaw-negotiations/32376079/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So before you make wild claims about something not being high volume, do some research beforehand. quit being a troll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPDTP Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Hey 182 get ready becouse the ones signing up from I.S.A. will have between 79-92 seniority.lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranger is likely looking at 50K. Market segment is still way down and many Ranger buyers went to F150 or the competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that would be a bad trade of platforms Focus to Ranger. It should be sourced to the plant that has floor space and truck line up like OHAP or KTP. the Focus is leaving MAP because it can be built cheaper in Mexico and in turn means a bigger profit for FMC. They can build the Ranger at MAP and be able to keep up with demand by only running 2 shifts. Plus with all of the postings for other plants now becoming available FMC knows that a lot tier 1's will leave MAP and they will be replaced by the tier 2s that were laid off. More tier 2s at MAP means a bigger profit for FMC, half that plant will end up being tier 2s by the end of this year you watch.
