I dont get over around gate 2 very often but was the other day, when did the bargaining committee guys get their own reserved parking up front? Or have that had that forever?

Just like you have to park your foreign vehicles at gate 0. Unless of course it's a motorcycle then you can park it in whatever lot you want. Oh and can't get handicapped parking in back near the body shop for those that work back there. Oh but management gets to park back there. And before someone flames me I do own a Ford and don't have a handicapped parking permit so kiss my ass.

Why does it matter what you drive, we have more serious issues going on with the UAW & Ford and how we keep getting the shaft from both to even give a shit about what people drive, who cares and I drive a lincoln and I don't give a fuck

Lincoln is a Ford brand. And you should give a damn because if you don't drive a Ford product you have to park by the fence at gate 0. Ford products include Lincoln, Mercury, Mazda, Volvo, Jaguar, Land Rover.

The parking situation is wrong. Although there are good arguments for buying a ford product, none of us owe it to ford to return a portion of our salaries in exchange for the privilege of working here.
Worse of all is that our union supports a policy that discriminates against American made, union made, in favor of non- UAW, non-american made products

I agree blackbird66, we owe them nothing. I bust my ass in this plant, we are working harder with less pay and higher paid healthcare, ford don't give a fuck about none of us, if they want us to be loyal to them then show us some loyalty. Ford doesn't give us anything we work hard for it and if we don't get some things back on this next contract I'm trading in the lincoln for something I really want and not just because it's made by Ford

A lot of people buy what they want new and get a 1,000 beater Escort of Focus just for driving to work. |

You should drive a Ford if you work there. If people drive by the lot and see your foreign pieces of shit parked there and think "Their own employees don't even buy the company they work for, so why should we?" Guess where that leaves us? With a low order bank and down time. Go get a job at Toyota if you want to drive their scrappy cars and not support your employer. Enjoy the walk from 0!

Yes, but at least they all park away from the main buildings. It's just my opinion that you should at least support the company who you work for

Mazda, Volvo,....... Are those domestic? I came from a town that had three American auto plants, and now had zero. I'm not afraid of a Toyota built in KY. I'm afraid of a Ford made in Mexico for under $3 an hour labor. What the issue is, is not the reasons you should support FoMoCo, but that you don't owe FoMoCo anything more than the job you do, done well, for the compensation contractually due you. AND the union should not support discrimination toward american made/ UAW made autos. |

I've owned dozens of Fords in my lifetime, many before I started working for Ford. I currently own an Escape, F-150, Mustang, Bronco II, and a Ranger. I've also owned foreign vehicles (VW and Suzuki). I like to pop the doors and top off my Samurai in the summer and tool around in it (30+mpg). It's not right that one can park a Suzuki motorcycle right at the turnstile and I have to park my Suzuki Samurai and gate 0. The parking rule is stupid. It's nobody's business what an employee drives as long as they show up and build these trucks I can't afford.

Keep buying your foreign vehicles and giving Toyota and Honda your money that FORD pays you. I guess I come from a long line in my family who have never owned anything but Ford so it's kind of ingrained in me. I don't always agree with the company or union but as long as I work there, I will support the place that feeds my kids. Epic |

Now, how is it that I owe Ford a portion of my salary? That's the same thing. I'm a number. I do a job. I get paid. I never agreed to give back my pay, for work done, out of loyalty. Blindly buying nothing but Ford products is foolish. |

Wow back at you again. If I have to explain to you that buying the product of the company that gives you a paycheck is the right thing to do, then just forget it. No, you do not owe them anything but the time you get paid for, if you want to get technical. But when you buy a Ford owned vehicle, you know that goes into our profit sharing right? When you buy any other non Ford vehicle, you put money in that company's pocket. It's funny that everyone on here seems to be okay with all the non Fords everyone drives. Even the new hires around me get pi$$ed when they see people pull up in non Ford's.

I've always said if and when Ford called you for YOUR job and the guy on the phone stated that you MUST DRIVE A FORD TO WORK EVERYDAY ,would you of still taken the job ,or say I'm not going to do that and turn the job down??I think it's stupid that you don't have enough pride in the place you work not to support it ..I mean I hate working here and that's the truth but I can't just quit and I can't EASILY make the money I make now and with 20 yrs I still have to back where I work..that's just me though .Dont mean Im right..How did this thread turn into what we drive anyway??

If someone buys a nissan from their cousin how exactly does that money go to nissan? If i am given a toyota thru a gift after my brother passes away exactly how does toyota get my money? Its a stupid rule that eventually is going to get someone seriously hurt or even killed with people droping other people off out front during rush hour.

What about people driving brand new non Fords? And you can drive anything you want to work, you just have a long walk. And if people are stupid enough to stop in the middle of Chamberlain Ln and let someone out, then the consequences are on them. If you work here, you should own at least one Ford. And if someone tried to give me a Toyota or a Honda.. well, they wouldn't because they know better

It turned into a thread about parking because someone up there started bitching about it. I've always drive Ford and always will. They don't understand it though. It's sad and pathetic |

Consequences are on them, wow, your such a compassionate person. Well what about the innoncent man, woman, or child that could also be in that accident? Imagine for one second in your perfect world that God forbid, your parents, brothers/sisters, or kids are also on Chamberlain lane when that car stops to drop someone off and causes a huge accident that they are in. This will eventually happen, was an accident out in front of gate 6 just this morning, hopefully the rule is changed before it does but like most things it usually takes an "i told you so" moment to get them changed.

I'm pretty sure that stopping in the middle of the street to drop someone off is already illegal, so what's your next theory? You just don't like the fact that you or anyone else not driving a Ford has to follow the rules so you will fight with me on this until we both pass out so let's just agree to disagree. |

Ford doesn't GIVE you a paycheck. You EARN it. Therefore, it becomes YOUR money. And being that, at least for the time being, we still live in a free country, everyone is free to use THEIR money as they please. |

It's sad and pathetic Again with non-ford means foreign. Ugh There are lots of reasons why someone might choose to buy a non-ford product. Some of them being very legitimate. From a dollar position, it puts an unfair financial burden on all ready under paid second tier employees to force them to go purchase a different auto, if they don't own a ford product. Less of a problem for many of these 19-22 year olds that don't have a family....... It is a violation of ford's own "zero tolerance" policy, as the current policy certainly discriminates against some of our union brothers and sisters. It is worse of all that our union, who claims to support american/union made would support a company policy that clearly says " it's OK to purchase a foreign made product from Mazda, or Volvo, but a local, american, UAW built Chevrolet can't park in the parking lot where you work. |
