Pay em. The ask is high because our dollar doesn’t get you anything. I’d rather Ford court the high quality labor force and at least justify these MSRP increases.

In my union (different industry) we just shot down the first offer we got from the company. Hope it doesn’t lead to a strike, but the offer was sad. UPS and pilots (was it American Airlines?) got some big wins lately. Hope other unions can as well.

Looks like all of the big three are authorized to do so: https://www.investopedia.com/150000-workers-vote-to-authorize-strikes-stellantis-gm-and-ford-7852940

With all do respect to all union workers here, you folks that want to do a good job, are getting equal pay to those that don’t give a shit. I would have a problem with that!

As a non-union worker all my life, I have no regrets. Sometimes when you find you’re working for a loser employer, it’s just time to move on. This has always been not only to my benefit, but to the benefit of all the “workers”.

Supply and demand, open markets….

My 2023 2-door Wildtrak had a July 21st blend date per the window sticker, as of today it's still in production. Live Chat with Ford Marketing team several times and they can't tell me why it's not progressing to Built and Ship. If UAW go on strike who knows when I'll get it. Very disappointed.

I agree on pay em and having a high quality workforce. But our dollar not getting anything is to blame on greedy companies trying to post quarterly highs which needs to be curbed. Our country needs to focus more on workers livelihood and less on investors making their next million.

This is what happens when workers aren’t allowed to organize. It would still be happening without worker organization.

40% increase in pay with 16% less work production is already a 56% upswing. Then if you start taking into account OT pay starting past the 32 hr work week it becomes a bigger deficit to overcome for manufacturers. The numbers just don’t add up.

I wonder if paying the MAP workers a higher wage would result in higher quality control and less fuck ups coming off of the line.

I’m just kidding, I don’t really wonder that, I already know the answer.

It's called a starting point. Negotiation 101. Aim for the moon and then meet somewhere in the middle
