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.”

    Didn’t the last company that tried this have to shut down factories due to scabs wrecking it thru lack of training?

    EDIT: Yep, it was Kellog’s & they totally lost that battle.

      Would be a shame if some “scabs” “without training” “accidentally” destroyed the factory

        Sometimes I can be so “clumsy” with my bags of sand and metal filings around expensive machinery. Can’t break tradition though. Gotta always have my bags of lucky dust.
