buyout rumor...there will be no buyouts...20% tier 2 already in place...no reason to buy anyone out.

I believe the UAW will agree to raise that second tier percentage to at least 30%. It would then make sense for Ford to offer a buyout to get rid of as many legacy employees as possible. Then replace them with people making half as much. I don't think ford will do this however. All they really have to do is wait. All this overtime on 50+ year old bodies will do the rest.

I agree with what fedupfred said. However, if this rumor were to be true, my ass would be outta there!

I agree that they will raise % of 2nd tier and in return allow retirements to those 50 yrs old and up with 10 yrs or more seniority. Just don't expect full retirement that you would get by working 30 yrs which would be $3000 to $3100 or so. They probably would offer a supplement to our pension we have earned so far so that it equals an amount based on yrs seniority. So if you have 22 yrs seniority you will receive $2200 a month. $2000 for 20 yrs. And you would get health benefits thru union. No lump sum bonus to take it though. I know others that got this buyout 2 contacts ago. That's the way it worked then and I expect it to be offered this time.

"Special early retirement " is great for those of you who can. I'll only be 52 when I have my full 30, so not much chance I'll retire early.

I guarantee Ford wants to raise the percentage of new hires allowed. Then it would make sense to offer buyouts to make room for new hires. I believe a couple contracts ago there was a buyout offer of $1600 a month with benefits to anyone 50 or older with 10 years of service. We'll see...

As much as Ford would like to get rid of us old timers. I think they are content to just wait us out. After all they are already making huge profits and you know the no balls UAW will agree to up the second tier percentage. Cause if we don't they will move the chassis cabs to Ohio. I'd love to get out of here but on the other hand I'd like to take these bastatds for every dollar I can as long as my body holds up

Wonder what the union leadership will be getting for agreeing to get rid of older workers at $72 a month union dues in return for more new hires at $39 a month?!!!!
