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.”
On what planet is making cars a minimum wage job? What are you talking about? Lol.
no one makes vehicles by hand anymore - robots do the work, people press buttons. $15/hr to press buttons seems like a pretty good deal.
I work at a Dr office near a Ford plant. We see a lot of injured employees specifically because a decent chunk of each car is still put together by hand.
