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.”

    I’d rather walk than ever buy another American vehicle anyhow, they’re fucking trash. Japanese for the rest of my life, no looking back at years wasted on American garbage.

      Ever since GM killed SAAB, I get Subaru. Admittedly, I currently own a Bolt, but the second Subaru makes an electric Impreza, I’m getting one.

        I can’t imagine how that has anything to do with what I’m saying. I need dependable reliable transportation, that doesn’t seem to be something American vehicle makers can make happen, but the Japanese seem more than happy to take up the slack. I hope everyone gets better workplace environments, but that’s unrelated.

      I’ve had a couple of both country’s vehicles over the years. Honestly, they’ve all been pretty good. I can certainly see myself boycotting American vehicles for the rest of my life depending on how this shakes out.
