Weekly Update December 12 2014
ORDER BANK:
2015 Escape: 25,051 23 days supply
2015 MKC: 3,831 20 days supply
PRODUCTION OVERTIME: As of this writing, B-crew is scheduled for 10 hours on
both Saturday 12/13 and Saturday 12/20, each one with a 6pm start. There are
no other dates planned at this time, and remember that overtime dates
are tentative until you have been notified by the Company about that day’s
actual production.
DECEMBER UNION MEETING AT LAP, NOT KTP: Due to a misprint, the latest Online
magazine incorrectly shows this month’s meeting at KTP when it is actually at
LAP. The December meetings will be held on Tuesday December 16 at LAP, noon
and 6pm, please make an effort to attend one of the meetings!
CHRISTMAS DOWNTIME:Production will go down after B-Crew works Tuesday evening
12/23/14, and will not resume until A-Crew and C-Crew return at their respective
start times on Monday 1/5/15. Enjoy your UAW-negotiated holidays and be safe!
LUNCH BREAK BEFORE HOLIDAY: Production for each crew will stop for a one hour
lunch break at 12 o’clock on their last day of production. Enjoy the
extended break and share the holiday spirit with one another!
TRAFFIC AROUND THE PLANT: If it seems like traffic is worse in the area right
now, it is! Remember that UPS hires a large number of extra package handlers
for the Christmas season every year, meaning lots more traffic in the area from
the employees as well as the inbound and outbound tractor-trailers. Please
keep this in mind and allow yourself a little extra time as you head into work.
STATUS OF THE UNIFORM ALLOWANCE: The 1.5 million dollar purchase order has
been signed at the corporate level and our Plant Controller has been authorized
to disburse the funds. We expect the program to be rolled out into the plant
soon, hopefully before the Christmas shutdown. Watch for details on how the
program works and instructions for your selection process and shipping.
STILL NEED HELP WITH ADOPT-A-CHILD!: As previously announced, our annual
Adopt-A-Child dinner will be held this year on Friday 12/19 at 5pm. If you can
make it, please stop in and share some food and a great feeling of making a
difference in the community. And if you can possibly help, please contact
Ralph Napier at 502-364-3674 to volunteer. If you haven’t attended or been
a part of it before, it will change your life—to see the happiness on the face
of a child who would otherwise have no Christmas is truly indescribable.
Thanks for all of your contributions and participation throughout the year, it
takes a lot to do what we do for the community!
WEIGHT WATCHERS MEETING:Don’t forget that the 1st meeting for Weight Watchers
will be at 5:15pm on 12/15/14. It will be in the union office conference room
at E-18 and the $25.00 fee is due at this meeting. For more information you
can contact Kevin Bush 502 364 3659 (A)crew, or Jeff Hale 502 364
3687 (C)crew, or Craig Waldridge 502 364 3687(B)crew.
WAGE WORKS HRA CARDS FOR ENTRY LEVEL EMPLOYEES: To all Entry Level employees
with Wage Works HRA cards: remember that any balance currently remaining on your
card must be used by December 31, 2014. Your balance will be reset on January 1,
2015 and any unused balance from 2014 will not carry over (you do however have
until March 31, 2015 to submit claims for any services obtained in 2014).
ANOTHER DISCOUNT FOR COMEDY: UAW members at LAP and KTP can again get a
special discount to a night of comedy and laughter at the Laughing Derby
(formerly the Comedy Caravan). Once again the show will include comics that have
appeared on national TV networks including HBO, Show Time, BET, and Comedy
Central. The event will be headlined by the outrageous comedy of Maurice G, who
comes to us from St. Louis and has performed at various comedy clubs throughout
the Midwest. This month’s show will be held Sunday December 14th and monthly
thereafter. Doors open at 7:00pm and the show starts at 8:00pm. The cost of
the tickets are normally $15 in advance or $20 at the door, but advance sale
tickets can be purchased by LAP and KTP employees for a discount rate of 2 for
$25 (DISCOUNT DOES NOT APPLY ON DATE OF SHOW). For more info or to purchase
tickets call (317) 250-6487 or visit www.laughingderby.com
SHOE CARNIVAL DISCOUNT FOR FORD EMPLOYEES: Shoe Carnival has extended their
employee discount to Ford employees in the Louisville area this Friday 12/12
through Sunday 12/14. Just mention the Friends and Family event and save 30% on
the lowest price marked on almost all items. You can also save the same 30%

can’t be applied to Nike Torch, Nike Flex Run 2014, Nike Kaishi Run, Justin
Boots, or Rainbow products. This event also includes free standard shipping on

2014 LAUNCH AGREEMENT: Under the 2014 LAP Launch Agreement and Master
Agreement language of Appendix H Section 10, the Major Model Launch of the
Lincoln MKC runs from May 4, 2014 through May 5, 2015. It is important to
remember during this time, per bullet point 4 of the agreed to “Line Time”
section, if production in Body and/or Paint falls behind Final Area production,
the Company can revert to Master Agreement language until such time as the
affected area(s) have again matched Final Assembly production.
