The absolutely beautiful reason that I can tell that they still aren’t agreeing to Fords concessions is because they in solidarity with new workers that don’t even exist yet, are demanding that Fords new battery plants they are building be placed under the same labor agreement they are fighting for.
“The UAW, according to Ford officials, has taken a hard line on requiring the company’s four new battery plants be placed under the terms of the labor agreement.”
That’s a great idea in an economy with low unemployment let’s fire everyone, surely the workers will be easily replaced.
And surely there won’t be a drastic drop in quality when they hire too few workers who have no experience. This will mean delays and recalls on purchases.
It’s Ford. How much lower can the quality go?
GM
Maybe they’re committed to F.O.R.D. - Fix or Repair daily.

Pinto quality.
Probably still better than the Escape and Fiesta put together quality.
Sounds like a problem for after the current CEO sells their shares one the layoff news stock jump, then deploys their golden parachute before the negative results start coming in.

Yeah. If this goes through don’t even touch a Ford vehicle from the years 2024-2026 at least. Will be full of defects.
Ford has the most recalls of any automaker in the US the last like three years running though. So maybe don’t buy a new ford from anytime in the last like 5 years either.
Are those recalls gonna happen next quarter? No?
Then they don’t care.
Seriously, this sounds like pure negligence. These are multi-thousand pound killing machines. How many safety lawsuits will come out of this?
Workers are, after all, fungible
