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.”

    Sounds like the UAW is going to declare a full strike across all unionized Ford plants.

      Also sounds like a good way to piss off local government. Fire ~5k people per city? That’s probably pretty impactful for those cities.
