i must say i am glad to hear the sentiments of the people in this thread. i have found the media reports and the absolute rubbish that has been said on these forums quite disturbing. i myself were wrong, i thought this report was rubbish, but alas it is true and most of the points raised by the members in the above points and in other threads couldnt be more correct.
Unfortunatly, many australians fear change, some to the point where even a moments hurt for a long term gain will not even be considered.
and the media's reaction to this is disgusting for the most part, so many ill informed and scare mongering reports.
yes its a shame, a massive shame but its not unique to ford.
3 years is a very long time to know you need to find a new job.
those unable to get a job will get a redundancy package.
boycotting ford is the most stupid idea ever, whoever supports this should have their breathing rights revoked.
another point i would like to raise,
just because someone finished yr 10, can cast engine parts, or put engines together does not make you the master of economics/industrial relations or anything not related to what you are trained for. you are intitled to your opinion, and we all sympathise with you, but the media should not be taking your opinion as gospel, and this really annoys me that a poor guy who just found out he's gonna be fired is on the tv upset as hell telling everyone that ford is the devil and the public laps it up. the media should be more responsible.
good luck to all the employees for the future,, im sure there are exciting times ahead for the ford motor company
