TLDR:
The union says that workers have been without a local contract for five months. The main areas of dispute are health and safety issues, minimum in-plant nurse staffing, ergonomic issues, and the company’s effort to reduce the number of skilled trades workers.
aka The company doesn't give a damn about its ~~slaves~~ workforce
Nor does it car about it's machinery since they want to reduce skilled trades (ie maintainelce crews). Ford just wants to put as little into their cars as possible and sell them for as much as they can. They found out in 2006 that they can make the cars as shit as possible and people will buy them, and they found out in 2021 that they can charge whatever they wanted and people would pony up.
“Ford CEO Jim Farley told an analysts’ conference in New York that last fall’s contentious strike changed Ford’s relationship with the union to the point where the automaker will “think carefully” about where it builds future vehicles.” Yes, and your potential customers can think carefully about which vehicles they buy. A simple web search will tell you where vehicles are being made and whether it’s built with union labor.
Pretty sure your average Super Duty buyer doesn’t care at all if their vehicle is made by a union or not. If anything they’re likely to be anti-union.
