How many have worked for Ford
Just wondering how many of you or your parents have ever worked for a Ford assembly plant, and for how long. I have been with Oakville assembly plant for 25 years, building the Tempo/Topaz then the Windstar I then transfered to the Truck plant and we built F150/F250 and larger until it shut down almost 4 years ago, and we are now building the Edge/MKX and soon to be Flex.

My grandfather worked in the Rouge complex about 1918. I don't know the exact year.
My father was in Manual Transmission Engineering from 1962-1986.
I was in Automatic Transmission Engineering from 1988-2007.

I worked for Ford for 35 1/2 years at the Livonia Transmission Plant in Livonia, Michigan. Did a number of jobs, assembly, testing main control bodies for the old C6, packing those m.c bodies, packing pinion gears, cleaning bathrooms and lunch rooms. Hired in in 1965, retired in 2000. Now my oldest son works there and has nearly 14 years in.
When I hired in, I never imagined I'd stay there that long. I thought I'd be there a few years, then move on to something else. But, didn't work out that way and it's just as well. I can think of alot worse places to work than there.
