Got the Axe Today..............

[bigslim]

Everyone here knows of the trouble at Ford. Well today it hit home.

I was given my layoff notice today. Now first before you guys start with the "I'm sorrys" let me explain what will happen to me.

First thing is, January 2nd I will have to check out of my building (Dearborn Tool and Die). I then will be placed in the "Gen-Pool". This a job-bank. I will have to go to work and sit in a room for 40 hrs a week. I get my normal 40 hr/week pay. I should be in this pool for about a week. At that point I will bump into another plant at the Rouge site.

The plant that I'm at will layoff 100 die-makers as well as other tradesmen and workers. I'm a millwright. I will always retain my bump back rights to the line if that was to ever come. Worst comes to worst I could go back to the line and wait until a millwright spot opens back up.

More than likely I will end up at either the Frame Plant or the new F-150 Assembly plant as a millwright. This is probably a blessing in disguise. My plant is cutting back on work and will more than likely be a 40hr building. The other plants that I will probably be placed at will be working some overtime. And everybody knows that with overtime comes more Marauder goodies.
