I’m in Kentucky and I’ve been with ford over 30 years now, I swear about 80% of the people I talk to in the plant lean Republican.

Democrats want gas so high you have no choice but buy electric. High gas, high interest rates, high inflation, high crime, huge number of illegals coming in and the whole Middle East is about to start ww3. No thanks

Joe Biden stood at the podium and said “I’ll get rid of the combustible engine “. All of us make a living off of combustible engines! Why would I vote Democrat?

Amen brother, I’m with you. Biden’s agenda is to put gas engines out of business. How the UAW could back a party trying to put us out of a job baffle’s me.

When I hired in 30 years ago auto jobs were like hitting the lotto. Great Benifits, great money, great quality of life. Trucks back then were prices at 30k plus if that high. Fast forward 30 years of giving up Benifits and pay, trucks are now around 90k (superduty) and our quality of living is worse than all those years ago. It’s time! A strike is bad for all involved and I 100% hope it doesn’t happen. I think this new President has got the newbies hyped up on expectations and there going to be disappointed. All that said, good luck everybody.

Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving.

Anybody know how Kansas City vote went?

They don’t want you sitting around thinking about it while they show the big dogs on TV in handcuffs going to jail for stealing our union dues!

Everybody knows theses plants take a little time to start up and get running full speed again. The body and paint shops are notorious for slow start ups.

So is ford close to a new contract? I read when thing 1st started for had 11-20 items settled.

I guess they were wrong. It’s been 8 days since they told us to expect a contract soon

I also read where GM offered to go back to original healthcare arrangements right before midnight deadline. Union said if they(Gm) offered that earlier they could have avoided a strike. It sounded to me the way I read it that they were close to being in agreement

If there’s that much extra money floating around I think we’re paying way too much in union dues!

I bet the train station remodeling will be about 1.5 billion. Hope the negotiators don’t forget about that.

Hopefully it’s my last contract
