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."
You're viewing a single thread.
Ford throwing off the burden of the UAW would be a huge win for consumers. Fords might actually be built well for once, and they'd be cheaper.
Your mom is cheaper.
Consumers ARE working class people, you know that, right? Unions improve conditions across the board for working class people by creating competitive pressure to increase wages and improve working conditions. Unions are good for consumers.
Unions are good for consumers.
In theory, I agree. In practice that's not the actual result.

Unions are good for the public WHO ARE CONSUMERS, you muppet.
What are you basing that belief on? There is no evidence to back that up, unions have been shown to benefit workers and consumers time and time again.
