Ford Calls Back Employees
Ford Motor Co. (F) and UAW have recently teamed up to bring back nearly 2,000 people to the motor manufacturer's factories. The company thus manages to hold its former employees, who would else have migrated to parts supply companies, both within and outside the U.S.
Ford claims to have already reinstated 1,340 employees into 24 of its plants and aims to add 635 more by 2012, thereby fulfilling its target of 1,975. Alongside, the company has also revised its factory-level agreements to make the plants more efficient.
Back in 2007, Ford and UAW agreed to bring 1,559 jobs to its plants. However, the recent agreement lifted the company's commitment to the union by more than 25%.
Presently, Ford imports gas-electric hybrid transmission components from Japan, battery pack assembly from Mexico, steel forging from India and transmission gear machining from Japan. But with the increased employment in the company, it will be able manufacture these items in their plants itself, guaranteeing better quality standards and reliability.
The company does not anticipate to face a huge rise in expenses, as wages are as low as $14 per hour, about half the hourly rate of the current workers.
Recently, Ford Motor obtained a loan guarantee worth $250 million from the Export-Import Bank of the United States to finance its export sales. The company decided to use its U.S. facilities for the manufacture of the export models. The call-back spurt will help meet this demand.
Moreover, the Missouri state government decided to provide Ford with incentives worth $100 million to encourage the company to invest further in its Kansas City Plant, which will generate further jobs.
Ford announced a net income of 61 cents per share during the second quarter of 2010, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 40 cents per share. Operating profits were $2.9 billion, a $3.5 billion improvement over the year-ago quarter. Ford succeeded doing good business in the Asia-Pacific markets, specifically India (where quarterly sales tripled) and China (where sales growth was by 20%).

The Trail of Tears Across Missouri $6.77 As settlers moved beyond the eastern seaboard during the early nineteenth century, the government forced thousands of American Indians from their ancestral lands. The Cherokees, the largest and most important tribe in the Southeast, fought exile with a combination of passive resistance and national publicity for their plight. Because they had successfully resisted the government's efforts to move them from their homeland, their removal was particularly brutal when it finally came. "The Trail of Tears across Missouri" is a moving account of the 1837-1838 removal of the Cherokees from the southeastern United States to Indian Territory (now Oklahoma). After providing an overview of the Cherokees' life in the Southeast and of the events leading up to their exile, Joan Gilbert traces the mass exodus state by state from Tennessee to Arkansas. Successive chapters highlight the experiences and the hardships endured by those forced to travel with inadequate supplies of food, clothing, and transportation. It is estimated that four thousand Cherokees, nearly a quarter of the tribe, died. In bringing the grim realities of the forced march to life, Gilbert draws from such primary sources as letters, newspaper stories, and the writings of missionaries, guides, and doctors who accompanied them. She focuses on the Cherokees' experiences as they passed through Missouri, using the journals of Dr. W. I. I. Morrow and guide B. B. Cannon. In addition to chronicling the removal of the Cherokees, Gilbert also brings the story up to date by describing how the nation lives today and how the Trail of Tears has been commemorated. |
