Substantially all of the hourly employees in our Automotive operations are represented by unions and covered by collective bargaining agreements. In the United States, approximately 99% of these unionized hourly employees in our Automotive segment are represented by the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (“UAW” or “United Auto Workers”). At December 31, 2019, approximately 56,000 hourly employees in the United States were represented by the UAW.
Why should I buy a car or truck from this company?
@2tpq+13c2O9Hd It is the same now. Morning coffee and socializing in ‘status’ meetings for 1-2 hours, walking for 1 hour, 1-2 hours surfing web and making lunch plans, 2 hours lunch and drinks, 1 hour nap, a walk, then it is time to leave for the day. This is the routine for 3/4 of the mainframe systems programmers. We get paid OT to do the work on weekends that should be done during the week.
Every year the mainframe system programming team becomes weaker as the productive contractors and employees quit. They tire of dragging the dead weight along and the do-nothing culture. They could fire 3/4 of the team and all the LL6 and more work would get done.
I need to hang on for 2 more years. I worked hard my whole career but now I am doing just a little more than 3/4 of the team. The stars were all SRDed, I need to hang on to my job for 2 years.
@2tpq After that first 15% pay cut I would've been looking for other jobs. I'm sure the executives didn't take a pay cut. Only those in the trenches have to make those 'sacrifices.'
I was SRD'd in May of last year. My new job pays me $30k more.
I was a mainframe systems programmer at Ford, worked in the FMCC building behind World Headquarters. I worked very hard and made a lot of contributions to the work my team did. Then one day I got a call they were cutting my hourly rate by 15%. It was that day I started to work 15% less. Then they called me a year later to tell me they were cutting my rate again by 10%. Yep you guessed it.
Even working less, I still did more work than 3/4 of my team. They enjoyed morning coffee in the cafe, long lunches (11-1pm), and afternoon coffee in the cafe. I stayed behind and did my job.
To answer your question correctly, 40% of Ford employees actually works at Ford. 50% chit chat and surfing the internet. 10% just showing up to work so that they will get paid.
If Ford was to let go half of the workforce, the company will continue to stay in business and will be more profitable.
You can't outsource that next car buyer......can you ? or 50000 truck buyer. Look close at the wall....see the WRITING ON IT.
Actually work?? 20% of any number that people come up as the total population actually do work.
The company really needs to cut heads by 20% to survive. So much waste and so many people working on minutia. All IT functions should be outsourced as a good starting point.
I googled this answer... in 2018 there were roughly 200,000 globally with about 100,000 in the US. Last year they said they had 70,000 salaried employees globally and they cut 10% of those with PRP and SRD.
