Just heard him say this on Fox News.

What the frick is the UAW demanding? I did hear them mention they want a shorter work week and a 38% wage increase.

Who the frick do they think they are, airline pilots?

And ? Would that matter? They are paid better than any other non professional job and better than most all self employed or small business owners. They make about 100 per hour now

Tell the employees to dump their union and retain their union dues. That’ll make 15-20 per hour immediately

It would be a great investment to announce that they will meet all the current demands of the union, however they will cease hiring union workers.

I bet you could find a few replacements that wouldn't bitch again 3 years from now wanting more.

UAW baws are eventually going to frick themselves out of a job when the big 3 pack it up and move to a southern, free to work state.

They’re going to hire non-union workers and then the union workers will bitch and moan about how unfair it is that Ford looked out for its best interests

Who in the hell would afford the markup for new vehicles to account for the added overhead?

Well, if any of the plants are in MI, that’s going to be hard to do, since MI is no longer a right to work state.

Guess they’ll just have to ship those jobs south.

At this point I hope Ford and the UAW both loose.

The UAW almost destroyed the Big 3 with crazy health and retirement plans which they want back.

But Ford has swallowed the Woke bug full. These idiots had started bragging that they will eliminate 40% of the UAW jobs because electric vehicles use less parts and are easier to assemble.

The Michigan workers hate electric vehicles because they know they are POS. I think they are throwing out impossible demands in order to kill the EVs.

This is hilarious after seeing the Ford commercials bragging about having the most hourly employees. America

The union is biting more than it can chew. They're about to force automakers to relocate more plants to Mexico/South America and the remaining US plants will become mostly automated.

Fire them and give their jobs to other people. Pay the new people more than the fired ones were making.
