Thread regarding Ford layoffs

They won’t even do the decent thing and give us a heads up

I would hazard a good guess that Bridgend Engine Plant in South Wales, UK is due to close probably within the next 18 months. We were told last week that volume for the new Dragon engine, of which we have just 125k installed capacity (which is paltry considering we were producing around 800k engines at our peak) is now down to around 70k - 80k from next year. They won’t confirm it just yet, but there’s no way they’re keeping our plant open on such small volume. We’re currently making V6 and V8 engines for JLR which is scheduled to end September 2020. Once that goes we’ll only have Sigma (which is also coming to an end as they’re already knocking out service engines) and Dragon. They won’t even do the decent thing and give us a heads up so we can start putting our lives in order. I used to be proud to work for FMC but not anymore. They’re an absolute disgrace. Morals of an alley cat.

Billy and the family are unhappy with the stock price because it cuts into their spending money. That is why he hired that miserable hatchetman. Dont think for 1 minute that they care even a little bit about the workers. All this "we look at our employee like family" is PR BS and is being proven false by these actions and their timing. We received an invitation today for a picnic in Dearborn in June for all of our LL2's people. It said "come and relax and tailgate to celebrate..." (or something like that). Are you kidding me? Do they think that a burger and chips is going to make all of this ill will go away?

Full disclosure..... the burger and chips appear to be free.
