As long as you come with a good attitude and not a "I know everything and are better than you" attitude. WELCOME to LOUISVILLE.

to the 9 from ohio,as you can see after 14 years ktp cant stand anyone from other plants especially OHIO. You will not be welcomed here no matter what kind of attend you have as show by dukka. Even most of the people from lap are not welcomed . If any of you need help halla at me and we will try to meet up. KY is a nice place and the winters are awesome. Transfer to lap if you can they are much more friendly. good luck

That is not true, there are almost 4000 employees at KTP, don't let a few on this Forum set a bad example for all of us. Welcome to all Ford UAW employees!

I came from Ohio and am still getting grief from KTPers I was treated like crap from day one , but those people with the KTP attitude will never get me down, I'm too good natured for their own miserable selves. I had my car keyed up daily when I first came down with my Ohio plates. I still have that car and show people how mean and nasty the people down here can be. When I worked up north nobody got shit when they transferred in to our plant. Shame on KTPers.

Keying someones car is a criminal offense, vandalism, anyone caught should be fired on the spot. No reason to be that way. Welcome to Ky to all who are having to find a new home, hope you all are treated with the same respect we would want if we were in your shoes.

buckeyeinky, no where did I say anything about people form Ohio. My statement was to anybody who comes here. Next time please engage your brain before your fingers.
By the way, I have been at 3 different plants and it is the same at all of them. If you come in with a "I'm better than you attitude people are going to look down on you and treat you like a piece of SHIT.
And yes I have all of my teeth, less 1 wisdom tooth.

DR death, i seen where you posted welcoming the people from kcap "Welcome to Louisville ". where is your disclaimer about there attitudes? dont get me wrong,met lots of friends down here, but if it were just a few it would be typical. its not just a few and after 14 years its still many. just let it go

Wow.
I chose LAP....I was just passing on info since a lot ask about dates and seniority.
My biggest concern in all of this is on the personal side. Not how long my house will take to sell or the money spent keeping a place to live in 2 states....but how I will be received.
I hope the fact that I resided in another state isn't what makes or breaks my fitting in. I'm glad there are so many more transferees to LAP. Hopefully that makes it harder to be singled out as an outsider from Ohio.
I will be switching my plates ASAP to protect my property thanks to Coconuts unfortunate experience.
I'm just coming to work everyone. I'm not seeking to destroy your lifestyle or anything. The Union gave us this chance...please don't demonize those that chose it. My reasons for choosing were simple, you have a very solid future at Ford and a beautiful state. I just want to live in it! ;D

Sad thing is, I have worked with more shit heads that are from here, then I have that transferred from other states. But like what was said before, there are the few transfers that come in with that entitlement attitude that we owe them something because they had to move to Ky from their home state. I hope all of you that come here are welcomed by everyone and dont let the shit heads put a bad taste in your mouth.

I welcome any transfers regardless where they are from. As with any plant, there are always the bad apples (whiners that are never satisfied, the "all about me" attitude, and trouble makers)...but KTP is a very hospitable plant and shouldn't have their reputation stigmatized by those few bad apples. Come into the plant as a team player and not a "higher than thou" attitude willing to a good job and you should fit right in...just don't become one of the bad apples. Welcome to KTP!!

This shit really cracks me up... When the KTP people find out that you're a transfer, the first question will be, "What's your seniority?" That shows you where you stand, there will be no "welcome", "how are you doing?", or "have you settled in? Can I help with anything?" It will be "What's your seniority?"
Remember, KTP'ers are a miserable lot, admittedly their union sucks, management has a quota on 4600's, the team concept has everyone in your business and God forbid if you're doing something easier that someone else... Basically you will catch crap from both sides...
All in all, welcome to KY. At least you have a job, enjoy...

At contract time everything is on the table, change the team concept.

Team concept is only as good you make it. I wouldn't trade my team for nothing. We get along, have a good time and rotate our jobs.

I've been at KTP in UTRIM for about 3yrs....I've yet to see this TEAM concept...its every man or woman for him or herself....no rotation going on....its a popularity contest on voting on team leaders I feel like I'm back in high school...if your not in the clique your an outcast...KTP399 you must be in body or paint and have been there a long time I'm glad it works for you!!!! I'll be leaving soon going back to LAP where it feels more like a family without the TEAM CONCEPT

I have been at KTP for almost 23 years and have seen people transfer in from ohio, missouri, michigan, indiana, georgia, tennessee, and many other states and each state sends great people and each state sends assholes....and here at KTP we have great people and some assholes....so judge each person one on one and don't assume all are one way or the other!! Welcome to KTP

What I think he is saying is that half the membership will call you an Asshole to your face, while the other half seems nice, but calls you an Asshole behind your back...
