Your help is needed! It's time for a ONE FORD SENIORITY! Wouldn't you like your "Date of Hire" to be worth something when it really counts? How about you Production worker; you start an Apprenticeship and find out you can be forced Out-of Zone or back to the line after being a 20yr UAW dues paying member of your Local/Plant by someone from another Union with just a few years seniority at your Plant/UAW? Tragically you waited years to be tested or sat on the list just to have those same people bump you out. It's happened at this local already...to a Welder and a Die Set-up person. There will be those who will be vehemently opposed to this Proposal, rest assured they are a loud minority who care nothing about your seniority. Contract Proposals must be submitted by Dec 1st to the Union offices, Union Hall or your Committeeperson. Drop them in that box and let's make a change! Just print out the download and sign it!

Everyone does have one seniority date when hired into Ford / production or trades.
If you are production and become an apprentice and complete the course it makes zero sense to grant added seniority to your new trades job when you never worked in the field prior to becoming a tradesman or woman.
The flip side is any tradesman hired into trades (and has zero production time) time getting their full seniority credited to a production job / bid.
Its a double edge sword and cuts both ways so I am not sure the intent but at face value makes little sense. The leveling date is a "partial credit" measure and gives a token amount of seniority.
Be careful what you wish for.
