Ktp1989 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I don't know where you get your information, but from what has been leaked the UAW got product for their plants (job security), an increase in Entry Level wage, a signing bonus and profit sharing based on North American profits so far. The job security is a lot more than "just a little bit". I would guess all our brothers and sisters at plants that need work would be happy to get product. Do you really believe that that the IUAW has the ability to force the company to make a product in the U.S.? That is laughable....the company agrees to work here because it planned on doing it prior and can pull the plug on it anytime it wants. 78% for Ford Motor Companys day to day operations are out of the US...get real. The company agrees to put work where it wants work and the UAW makes everyone think it has done something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From page 5U , so again while the UAW won some great inventment commitments we still need to be thankful the design team actually put out vehicles the public actually wanted to buy this past contract. If they had not none of those commitments would have ment jack shit. Again I am not knocking what was won in 2007 so please do not misunderstand my intentions of why I wrote that.
