Hey There! Just wondering if anyone can fill me in on the status of my 2013 Ford Explorer XLT that I ordered. Pretty sure it would be under a dealership order and the order number that I got is C213 I think. The dealership is Mount Brydges Ford in Canada as well. Color is Ruby Red. Not too sure if anyone would be able to help me out. I don't have my VIN so I may be S.O.L. with anyone being able to give me info!! Thanks Boys!!

Apparently "Smilin" Jack Layton is gonna make a special visit to the STAP plant. Isn't it a little late to be posturing? We've already been closed!!! You're about a year late Jack!!!

Any word as to what the ratification results were at STAP this morning?

Dude, quit acting all Brody and take a long hard look at yourself. You are the perfect example of whats wrong with the union, a high seniority fuck who has abused his seniority in order to fuck everyone else over. You need to realize that no matter what the seniority, we are all going to lose here and just because you've put a bit more time than others does not make you the high and mighty that you try to act like you are here on these forums. Do everyone a favor and shut the fuck up. With that being said, does 20 years of service qualify as low seniority fuck face? Think about what you have to say before you say it and instead of bashing the people you have the balls to call brothers and sisters, you need to think about who's side you are actually on. Keep to yourself and let the people who actually believe in solidarity have their say on these forums!!!

Obviously, not a one of us knows all the details of this so called agreement that has been made by our union leaders, but from the sounds of it we are losing an entire plant at STAP. Oakville is yet again being taken care of until they fuck it up again and have it taken away when its all said and done, and last but definitely not least, it seems that our severance/restructuring package is less than what the CAW agreed upon with both GM and Chrysler. If Ford wants pattern bargaining, why is it that the package is apparently different that what the other 2 companies gave up and why has our leadership not fought for atleast that!!! I can honestly say that I'm embarrassed to be a part of Lewenzas CAW when he has basically thrown a great work force in STAP under the bus, and especially embarrassed when a clown like Edsel sits here and acts like a complete jackass at his keyboard. Dude, you need to grow up or fuck off along with Lewenza!!! I agree with not jumping the gun and first learning about what exactly has been agreed upon, but like history has taught us, more times than not, what the media reports to us is usually exactly what is going on. Sad but most definitely true!! Lewenza needs to go and we need to find someone who has everyones best interests in mind, not just his own!! We will see how this will be spun to us tomorrow at the convention center. I've got a feeling that no matter how much sugar coating the union puts on this one, it's still gonna come out tasting like shit!!!

Way to be Kenny!!! Nice of you to look after the guys here at STAP. We've now been sold down the river twice, and this time without a paddle!!!

GOOD POINT!!!

If this isn't a ratification vote, why the F*** would we waste our time to go?!

Dude, you hit the nail right on the head. Anyone who would disagree with what you just wrote, needs a healthy dose of reality. There are a couple of us here that have been talking about the exact same scenario that who have brought up. Amen to the fact that we are not the only ones that see this. the jobs WILL be offered, Lewenza WILL bite at the carrot at the end of the stick, and we WILL all be out looking for work when its all said and done after taking concesssions!!!

I'm in the plant aswell and all you have to do to get info is to speak to your union rep or even jump on tne AM980 website. All the information will be right there for you!!!

Where's our $1700 bonus!!!

Is this for the week of June 7th? Or is it for the current week ending June 6th.

That's a pretty bold statement coming from a guy who dissapears for over half the shift, ignores when people need to go for washroom breaks at any cost, then flat out refuses when his foreman asks him to cover a job while a medical is needed. You shouldn't throw stones when you are one of the people in question. No one is denying that you did your time and worked your ass off to get to where you are at right now, but at the same time, the last thing you should be doing is pointing your finger at others when you infact are one of the people that you are trying to scold!!! Sorry if this in any way hurts your feelings because I know who you are and I think you are one of the best if not the best painter I have had the pleasure of working with, it's just a matter of getting you to do something other than work on a show car once or twice a year...the rest of the time is a write off!!!!

I feel the same way!!!

Well said. I agree with everything you said. The hard workers are a dying breed. Let's get back to business and get rid of the dead weight!!!
