UAW and Ford have reached a contract agreement! [WARNING: NO POLITICS]

[AZ_Liberty]

Can't wait to get my new Bronco where the AI couldn't figure out how many wheels to put on it!

Well, the robots used the right torque. It was the union guys who couldn't torque the wheel lugs correctly.

Fair, but I bet the union guys know how many fingers there should be on a Bronco. I'll trust them a bit more, for now.

So sorry you missed the point but as an FYI, a government mandated expenditure of 200 billion takes a lot of 4 billions to make up for. but I do have another question for you. Is your tax break on your mortgage a subsidy?

Where are you getting 4Billion?

I really hope this ford / uaw contract is not the kill shot for Ford or other OEM's

It's just reality

Yeah, an alternate reality. Please show your source for this.

Wow, 4 years out and already planning the next strikes. That's really in poor taste and presumptive.

At my office, there were three that bought Ford's during Covid.

2021 Edge ST
2022 Explorer XLT
2022 Explorer Limited

All had multiple issues requiring multiple service visits that lead them to trade them away.

I haven't had any major issues with my 2019 F350 6.7, but seeing all these issues first hand is concerning.

Unreal. I’m a master electrician and that’s slightly less than what I make an hour in Colorado, a ridiculously overpriced state to live in. I had to go through 4 years of school, 4 years of work and take a journeyman test. Then work another year in layout, planning and management to even qualify for the masters test.

These people just have to apply and work for 3 years. Wow.

you would probably be really upset then if you knew what I made with a 2 year RW license in the state of Colorado then….

Lol nah. I have a van, gas card and I’m home by 4PM everyday and make well over 100K a year. I’m perfectly happy with what I make, my job is easy.

From a BS NPR rant that actually, did not prove they received the $4B.

Were are you getting subsidies?

Hopefully, Ford will use this as a lesson learned and start looking at where they can move future production.

The UAW has most likely just ensured that all Ford production will now be moved to Mexico....thus doing workers out of the job they will be getting a raise for. Great, we have just enriched another country that is not our own.

They can still say “Made in (North) America”.

While I know this was probably meant tounge in cheek (mostly), I do have to say that the lug nuts are all tightend per wheel by a machine that should not allow the unit to exit the station unless correct torque is achieved. If proper torque is not achieved, the unit is maked as supect and should be checked by an inspector before being shipped.
