Plus June 30th to July 20th

We have contractors on site and the dates you mentioned for production down time are correct

Shhhhhh

We have been promised the elusive third shift for years. We were promised a new platform during the life of the contract that JUST EXPIRED. Where is the profit sharing?. It will be another "interesting" rat vote. There must be another shoe to drop.

I'm in Trades but I believe that the Paint shop is scheduled for 10's The v229 bodyshop is literally gutted. There will be new additions to the automation equipment in the Paint shop You can draw your conclusions from that, I don't want to speculate. There are many here that are good at that. McColeman lost the election-out. You brothers and sisters were screwed by Ford and the economy. Take Care

Bullshit, what coveted position do YOU have at Ford??? How is it that YOU are privy to such info??? What Explorer would we be getting? the one built in CAP? If the Transit is coming to Canada it better go on a diet because it will never FIT in our plant. Get lost....go play with someone else's life.

Small fire in the paintshop..evacuated...lost a few cars and all is well again.

I bought a set of these from Tire Rack 4 Pirelli Scorpion Ice & Snow XL $242.00 each Best snow tires imaginable

No one care anymore? Call Lewenza, or have we all just given up?

We took the cuts and concessions and 2-3 tier wages when Ford was hurting, we opened our "agreement" and agreed to all of it to save our future. Well the future is here and now I want some return on my investment. Why is it only a ONE way process, does anyone else feel a little stupid? did we actually not foresee a turnaround? did we not have a plan? NO ONE SAW THIS EVENTUALITY?? Really?? Reciprocity...."""Generally, relationship between persons, corporations, states, or countries whereby privileges granted by one are returned by the other."""" Make gesture to the workers, Time off, Benefits, Wages, COLA. pick one, ANYONE will do.

Bring back our COLA NOW. WTF!! are we now supplying Ford with OUR bailout money so that they can be ""extra"" generous with the so called profit sharing cheques payable to our American counterparts? Open that thing we call a contract and get back OUR COLA while we can. Speak up KEN, or have we (actual) autoworkers become insignificant in the new CAW?

Sorry, I have no idea, I'm not 100% sold on the fact that the space is to be used for what we have been told, I'm hoping that it really is in preparation for the new vehicle that we were promised at the last negotiations....maybe just wishful thinking. It would be great if all that wish to work in OAC will get jobs soon. Take care

The sections that are being gutted are to become work areas for the mods being done to MKT. This includes livery and hearse versions (stretched)

You should try standing behind the fan, dum dum

The ILVS building will not be getting filled up, we are not painting cars...just performing maintenance in the paint shop
