Stone glad to know the local is on top of this. there are tons of questions that i have, hope they have a meeting. i am assuming that RTBU rights would probably be different if you go up there as a "transfer of operations" or simply as a guy on ILO getting offered the chance to go. |

I e-mailed Steve three questions I felt people would ask. Here is his response. Thanks Mr. Stone for working to answer all of the questions being sent your way from everyone. TonyV
Steve,
Many employees at KTP also would like to know if 'bump' seniority will come into play.
(1) Will LAP ILO's be 'eligible' for transfer to Chicago?
Both for Transfer of Operations and a posting for volunteers.
(2) Will they be able to 'bump' less senior employees at KTP in that instance?
If there are insufficient numbers to fill available out of zone opportunities, and an employee on infinite layoff is extended any job offer at an out-of-zone facility, the employee has three choices.
1) Accept the job offer,
2) Decline the job offer, and be placed on inactive status with no Co-provided income or benefit but retains recall rights, or
3) Bump the least senior employee within the same zone. LAP and KTP are in the same zone.
(3) Does the letter "Future staffing issues-zone 7, Louisville area" apply in the instance of the ones on ILO right now?
"Where there is a good business case, … to minimize churning and the unnecessary relocation of idled employees…" The letter was written to protect employees at both LAP and KTP.
Also, we are checking Return to basic unit and moving allowances either to a facility or returning home. Thanks for the questions.

Ask Steve Stone, period. The union is not in the business of speculation. We will leave that to this forum. Only your union officials will be able to let you know the real facts as they become available.
And let me tell you, if Steve Stone responds to my simple questions after I ranted and raved over the last modification brought to us, he will answer ANYONE!

I am hearing that about 130 or so of the 262 that were ILO'd have seniority on people at KTP. As information becomes available, I hope everyone that wants to work gets the opportunity.
Please utilize the tools in front of you and contact Steve Stone with any questions through "contact us" at UAWLAP.org. It is very important to understand your opportunities with Ford.
If it were me, I would get my information from the ones that count.

After comparing the ILO seniority to KTP's seniority list, only about 80 could be effected for 'bumping'. Going from senior to least senior, August of 2000 would be the cut off.
I've heard that Chicago's Building Chair has said that Chicago Assembly will be adding their 2nd shift in June. That would dispel any rumor about active workers at LAP being surveyed.
The International UAW should be making their "business case' in the coming week or so. We will all see then what options are going to be available for those on ILO.

It is too early to speculate about anything yet. The union is working on many items right now. I was just giving an early heads up for the ones on ILO and at KTP.
The fact is, no one knows yet if 'bumping' will even occur because of the 'business case' being made. I am referring to the letter " Future Staffing issues- zone 7, Louisville area". I know many in the union can explain it better than myself, but it was put in as a protection against getting a strike by our leaders.
The union will be making a 'business case' to avoid excessive churning and wasting of money to move people twice. I was told the International would be meeting with our local leaders to put together this 'business case'.
No one yet knows what will come of it. The union should have more information in the next couple of weeks.
