Author Message   Drhodes1970 Posted on Thursday, December 03, 2009 - 04:01 pm:        H-D York will stay open. 50% RIF.   Nickg Posted on Thursday, December 03, 2009 - 04:38 pm:        what does that mean?   99buellx1 Posted on Thursday, December 03, 2009 - 04:48 pm:        And if this is about the York plant, why do we care? Still means Buell is closed.   P_squared Posted on Thursday, December 03, 2009 - 04:48 pm:        RIF = Reduction In Force RRW has an article saying 950 hourly employees getting axed.   Drhodes1970 Posted on Thursday, December 03, 2009 - 05:32 pm:        It was just on the news thts all. Maybe you don't care but somebody else might.I didn't post this for you personally 99 buellX1.   Xnoahx Posted on Thursday, December 03, 2009 - 06:45 pm:        Doesnt really belong in the 1125 forum   99buellx1 Posted on Thursday, December 03, 2009 - 07:07 pm:        quote: Doesnt really belong in the 1125 forum Kinda my point, this is not 1125 bike related. There are a couple places for this information on the boards: Buell & H-D In The News or Harley is Dead to BadWeb   Shoredairy Posted on Thursday, December 03, 2009 - 07:18 pm:        thanks for the news. i've toured the plant before it is impressive. i feel bad for the folks losing their jobs and what a shame it is for such a facility to just be sputtering   P_squared Posted on Thursday, December 03, 2009 - 08:26 pm:        Uh, you folks do know that some folks here on the 1125 board "don't get out much" right? I don't see a problem with this being here. I feel sad that 950 folks are going to be out of work in York, PA. That place just can't seem to catch a break between Hershey & Harley. Also keep in mind that some folks here on the 1125 board have been to the plant (Shoredairy) and some folks know folks who work/worked there. Again, I don't see anything wrong posting the info here when looked at in that light. Summary - 1125 board has been HOSTILE for quite some time. We all need to try taking a deep breath, chilling out & getting along. Just my opinion & YMMV.   Milt Posted on Friday, December 04, 2009 - 11:34 am:        Amen, P_squared.   Packdog Posted on Saturday, December 05, 2009 - 04:11 am:        Oh yeah? Did anyone ask you for your opinion P_squared?? Ooops, I mean +1 P_squared. I am one of those that doesn't venture out much past the 1125R and Big, Bad, & Dirty portions of BadWeb, so I am glad to see things like this posted.   Drhodes1970 Posted on Saturday, December 05, 2009 - 09:34 am:        I did'nt mean to start anything here. I just thought some of you would be interested. I'm not a mechanic and I can't give any technical support to anyone but I would like to be able to contribute. Later.   Ponti1 Posted on Saturday, December 05, 2009 - 09:43 am:        Maybe more horsepower = more attitude? Wonder what the NHRA boards would be like if that were the case?!?!?   2thepoint Posted on Saturday, December 05, 2009 - 11:46 am:        Thanks for the post. Its way better than the 100's of posts about somebody crying because a turn signal doesn't work.
