depends what he does and senority. I work in warranty dept. We have made cuts, downsized jobs , added more responsibility to us. given us the people's work and split it all up between us so we are all working harder for the same pay and insurance is getting worse. It looks bad. The big 3 need to gett congress to do something about the excessive importing of Jap cars and trucks. The Japs are making money hand over fist because they corrupted the yen so they make 1000's off everycar shipped to the US.which toyota still ships over 40% of their cars and trucks here.

I'm sure we are all worried about Ford. I went ahead and took the early retirement. That may save a job for another brother.
The KY truck plant is having a hard time getting the 6.4 diesel's from Navistar and Louisville Assembly just announced they will be down for the next 2 weeks due to slow sales on the Explorer.
Our contract is up in Sept, so I'm not looking for anything good to happen, but praying for the best.

The Ford Motor Co. launched its long-threatened assault on the workers on Jan. 22 with the announcement of plans to lay off 25,000 to 30,000 auto workers and shutter 14 plants. It also intends to lay off 4,000 white-collar staff.
Seven assembly and parts plants are to be closed by 2008 and the rest by 2012. The company aims to reduce its workforce in North America by 28 percent to stop losses on its operations in the U.S. and Canada. Ford’s layoff announcements come in the wake of a similar announcement by General Motors in December of 30,000 layoffs and the shutdown of nine plants.
Scheduled for the ax are Ford assembly plants in Hazelwood, Mo., outside St. Louis; Wixom, Mich., outside Detroit; and Hapeville, Ga., outside Atlanta. It also will close the transmission plant in Batavia, Ohio, outside Cincinnati; shut down Windsor Casting in Ontario and shut down a shift at St. Thomas, also in Ontario. It has also been rumored that plants in St. Paul, Minn., and Cuautitlan, Mexico, are on the chopping block.
