Ford cancels plans to build in Mexico, will invest in Michigan

RE: Ford cancels plans to build in Mexico, will invest in Michigan
This is what fucking Ford means by "pro-growth" policies.

https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2016/04...o-a14.html


Quote:Based on terms of the 2015 UAW-Ford agreement the company is currently ripping out the existing lines of machinery to introduce new, faster equipment. The $300 million project is predicated on contract language that prevents higher-paid “legacy workers” (earning around $29 an hour) or even second tier workers, who earn between $15 and $19 per hour, from taking jobs on the new lines.

Ford workers have informed the WSWS Autoworker Newsletter that all positions on the new hot metal machinery will be filled exclusively by new hires, that is, a third tier, who will start at $9 per hour—fifty cents more than the state’s minimum wage of $8.50. These workers will top out at $12 after years of service.

This will doubtless apply at the Flat Rock plant as well.  These are not the head-of-household jobs that fuckface bragged about during the campaign.  But the shitheads who voted for him won't understand.
