I am sure that there are some Arfcomers that work at the Ford Plant. I grew in the New Albany area, and currently live in the Tulsa, OK area. What can you tell me about working at the plant? My Old Man worked there about 30 years ago. What is the starting pay? How do I apply? What kind of testing do they do for candidates. I currently work in the oil field industry making sucker rods (the part that goes in the ground and brings the oil to the surface. I am a CNC operator (glorified button pusher). I am wanting to move back to the area, and thought that the wages and benefits would be competitive with what I am currently making. Any info that you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Cross posting in the Indiana HTF.

Thanks,

They don't seem to be hiring anyone at the moment.

Looks like a bunch of transfers from Ohio came in to fill the open spots.

When they accept applications they do it in a big way, like 5000 people apply. They use a lottery system to even see if they will consider you. Word has it a current employee may recommend 1 person and it automatically gets you "considered"

Unless they move more production to KTP , it will be awhile longer till they hire.

They will be hiring some new maintenance guys this year, but they usually are hired directly from union trades halls.
