More Jobs To Go At Victorian Ford Plants

Over it!

It is everyone's fault who hasn't bought a locally made Ford or Holden. No-one elses fault but there's. Even then the writing was on the wall years ago and that would have not stopped what was inevitable. I feel sorry for the workers off course, but this has been coming for years. Governnments cannot continue to bail out businesses that cannot support themselves. I don't care what part of the manufacturing or any other business sector they are.

Detroits broke and they want to sell us their sh*t so they are less broke.

Its just the new modern age. We have seen a major change in my industry and industry around it. Companies have to restructure to survive these changes and my company was one of them. You either in our your out and there has been alot of companies around ours that have decided that there out.

Sad to see both Ford and Expensive Daewoo go but theres a new generation of buyers that dont wont large cars anymore.....

Time to put the R spec on blocks.lol

[Never had any say Panda]

So.. Since all these ford workers are losing their jobs and it's the governments fault..

I am too far away to go for a look but are the car parks of these factories filled with FG falcons? Ie: did all these people buy the car they are building and support the company they work for?

I'm leaning towards: probably not..

Detroit never wanted us to service more than the local market though. At least Expensive Daewoo was using an international platform allowing them to export, albeit minor numbers but still exporting. <br /><br />Toyota managed there game a lot smarter than the other two local manufacturers. <br /><br />Ironic that instead of them doing better with what would seem a bigger share of the future market they'll instead have to fold too.

I'm probably going to have this post removed but I'll just say what I'm thinking anyway.

Ford US are vaginas & the federal government are vaginas for not stopping them

Funniest sh*t ever Dags. They could easily afford FPVs or HSVs even without taking in to account the ridiculous discounts on offer.

I think it was Pazzo that had a relative that worked for Ford, reckons the carpark was full of other makes.

A certain union leader had a moment of truth just the other day in his press club address. Must be pretty fckn bad if even he thinks wages have gone too far in some industries and are costing jobs!

Easily?

Bull.
