It is mutually agreed between Ford Motor Company, Vehicle Operations, Woodhaven Stamping Plant, and the International Union, UAW, Local 387, on September 29, 2003, at Woodhaven, Michigan, that the following provisions will govern the Set-Up Agreement.

  1. Employees classified as Set-Up will continue to perform die setting duties and related functions.
  2. On the Major Press Lines, Set-Up personnel will adjust conveyors, and move conveyors and other equipment in and out of the bay in which they are working and in the adjacent bays to perform their die set. (For purposes of this agreement, the blanking area will be considered a single bay). Where the equipment requires the use of a crane, the movement will be performed by Set-Up personnel, attached and specially adapted automation equipment between presses on the press lines will continue to be installed and removed by employees of the Plant Engineering Department.
  3. In the small press area, Set-Up personnel will move conveyors and such related equipment, including die guards,  in and out of a press and from one press to another. Where cranes are needed to move this equipment, Set-Up personnel will be used.
  4. Conveyors which are in need of repair and are being moved to the repair shop or those conveyors being resumed after being repaired in the shop will be moved by Millwrights.
  5. Set-Up personnel will continue to move dies, to and from regular storage areas, wash rack and repair area,  to and from the die room and to and from the press lines.
  6. Set-Up personnel will be assigned to the opening and closing and turning of dies outside of the Tool & Die room with the exception of the Small Press areas, where Die Tryout will continue to perform this function.
  7. Set-Up personnel will move scrap chutes in the press lines involved in die setting. Plant Engineering will move and replace scrap chutes when necessary for repair.
  8. Set-Up personnel will remove all die guards involved in the set-up of Small Presses, OBB’s and Major Presses. Tool and Die personnel will remove and replace die guards when working on dies or securing O.K. panels.
  9. In the press room and small press area, Set-Up per­sonnel will continue to make trial runs after set-up to prove out the set-up, and in conjunction with Tool and Die Department obtain approval from Quality Control of O.K. panels.
  10. Die Set personnel will be assigned to the removal and installation of stationary bolster plates.

This agreement shall become effective concurrently with the effective date of (a) any new Collective Bargaining Agreement which replaces the October 9, 1999 Collective Bargaining Agreement or (b) any extension of the October 9, 1999 Collective Bargaining Agreement (other than an extension for a temporary or indefinite period) and shall remain in effect for the same period as such new or extended Collective Bargaining Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.
