louie Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 From today's Detroit Free Press: Can you imagine if this drags on with a no vote and we are on strike or locked out the economy could tank and hit a depression like the Bush depression of 2088. We would be screwed. I think its important we stay focused and pass this fair and well bargained agreement for there are many scenarios that would work against us otherwise Forewarned 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would be screwed. I think its important we stay focused and pass this fair and well bargained agreement for there are many scenarios that would work against us otherwise Forewarned Auto sales seem to be pretty good which also gives Ford an incentive to lock us out and replace us. Or if we go on strike to replace us. Ford has enough inventory to take a strike for a few months. In that time, replacements can be trained and they will have the plants up and running. People will buy Fords at that point just to tell us to get screwed and to support the replacement scabs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Public hatred against what is seen as overpaid fat cat union members will drive up sales if we are replaced. No doubt about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the economy takes a turn for the worse (double dip recession) while we are on strike or locked out, will benefit the companies bargaining position, starve us out and we will end up worse than Chrysler A no vote gives us a uncertain, most likely economically disadvantaged future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just the TRUTH Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 From today's Detroit Free Press: No doubt. High unemployment rates, cuts in social services, we are in trouble economically. People are putting our jobs and lives at risk with these no votes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
