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."

That's a great idea in an economy with low unemployment let's fire everyone, surely the workers will be easily replaced.

And surely there won't be a drastic drop in quality when they hire too few workers who have no experience. This will mean delays and recalls on purchases.

[-] Pistcow@lemm.ee 38 points 1 year ago

It's Ford. How much lower can the quality go?

No CarPlay or Android Auto.

Wait —they’re actually doing that

[-] MajorHavoc@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Maybe they're committed to F.O.R.D. - Fix or Repair daily.

Probably still better than the Escape and Fiesta put together quality.

Institutionalknowledgesayswhat?

[-] Magrath@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah. If this goes through don't even touch a Ford vehicle from the years 2024-2026 at least. Will be full of defects.

[-] atrielienz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Ford has the most recalls of any automaker in the US the last like three years running though. So maybe don't buy a new ford from anytime in the last like 5 years either.

[-] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

Though, proportionally, Tesla has the most, by a large margin.

[-] Sowhatever@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago

Are those recalls gonna happen next quarter? No?

Then they don't care.

[-] jennwiththesea@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Seriously, this sounds like pure negligence. These are multi-thousand pound killing machines. How many safety lawsuits will come out of this?

[-] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

If they do not equal or exceed profits, it's just the cost of doing business.

Workers are, after all, fungible
