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."
"We have reached our limit," Galhotra said. "We have actually stretched ourselves to get to this point. We're still working to get this done. We're open to moving some money around within the deal that might fit the union's needs better. But broadly speaking, as to the overall cost, we're there already."
Bullshit. You can fucking afford everything they're demanding. Solidarity with the workers!
Hope they've got 10,000 managers and sales associates with the gumption to work the line at the speed Ford is looking for.
didnt the last time this happened some of those people died on the line?
Was John Deer if I recall correctly, though I only know about ambulances being called the first day, not sure if whoever got hurt was okay afterwards

The Kentucky Truck strike is the first the UAW has ordered mid-week. UAW President Shawn Fain typically announces new strikes in Facebook Lives on Friday afternoons.
Both Ford and the UAW have said the surprise strike marks a significant new phase in the negotiations.
“We came here today to get another offer from Ford,” Fain said Oct. 11. “Unfortunately, this offer is the same we received two weeks ago. In our position, they are not taking us seriously. We’ve been very patient working with the company on this. At the end of the day, they have not met expectations. They aren’t even coming to the table with us, so we had to take action.”
light 'em up.
