With the COA there is no more 89 day workers,the workers will now sign a paper that says they can work as long as FORD needs them but they understand they will gain no senority...The temporary workers at DTP are now called Temporary Full Time....No more hiring full time workers when you can hire Temporary Full time workers with less pay and no benefits! THANKS TO THE COA!!!

Your right the engine line is not going anywhere,it will stay in the plant but will be run by a another company with non-ford workers..Once the engine line gets outsourced at DTP,which that process is happening now,the same company will most likely take over all the engine lines in FORD assembly plants....That new COA is nothing but a job eliminating contract...You think what you want to but just remember DTP is the model for all plants so what happens at DTP will eventually happen at all FORD plants!

Engine line will get a makeover alright..It will be outsourced just like they doing at DTP! Thanks to the COA!

Well get ready MTP for your 89 day people to turn into Temporary full time workers with the COA!

When MTP looses a shift will anyone actually be laid off or will the buyout numbers even itself out and people will go to Wayne?

It won't happen,ALL buyouts must be complete by Sept.2007,so FORD would not keep NAP open longer than August!! Plus with sales like they are NORFOLK will no longer be needed when DTP's 3rd shift starts..

So when MTP looses a shift will the ones from the shift lost go to Wayne? Is it true that the buyout numbers evened out so no one actually looses their job and gets laid off....I hope it all works out for everyone!

Question,If the COA is voted in does MTP still loose a shift? Or will they keep it?

And they named the other 2 plants,NORFOLK and TWIN CITIES! But there are others which won't be revealed til after contract time.

Where did you find a job at Jordan?......Hope it all works out for you.

I moved to Alaska to start a new career,so far it's working out good..Lots of good hunting and fishing here..I enjoyed building trucks but I think I like my new job better.I work as a aircraft mechanic for a private charter plane service who does hunting and fishing trips and sightseeing trips..I live in a remote area with about 225 people living there...The peace and quite is nice...To all my fellow NAP'ers I wish you well..GOOD LUCK IN THE FUTURE!

I'm in Alaska ,What the hell do I know! I know that you think I'm a dumbass..Which I like to know that...Hope he hired you,you seem like an A-1 employee..

I'm in Alaska,What do I know!

You talking about Stanely Wilson? If so what is his job at Blackwater? I took buyout.....and moved to Alaska...I'm working for a private charter plane service doing mechanic work...Money is good cause no one wants to move to Alaska..

.....DTP is made up of people from 27 different FORD plants(what we were told at NAP),why would they be mad at NAP people for coming into a plant that is full of other transfer people....Don't make sense!
