It’s like when Ford got caught in the Chicken Tax shenanigans with the Transit Connect—did Ford get to go after its customers to recover all those back taxes and penalties it owed the gov’t, or did it just have to eat those costs?

I did learn that the guy who started Oldsmobile started REO after he got ousted by GM LOL

Why, so they can become another footnote in truck history like Nissan?

Oac98, is it too early to have a sense of the union's sentiment to the details of the offer? The offer as you've shared it seems incredibly fair to me, but I'm an outsider that doesn't know the specific concerns of the membership.

Yes I understand what your saying-its covering hours that should have been worked, but weren't because of shortages, etc  

The gains for short work week are for people with lower seniority eligibility starts now at 1 year seniority instead of 3 years. When they stop the shift early we get short work week. It’s a percentage of our pay. So it’s we work day 5.5 hours we will get 2.5 hours short work week at a lower pay rate to fill out the 8 hours. It gots up to 40 hours max.  If we go to work for one day and then they send us home for the week we get short work week up to 40 hours. I hope I’m making some sense here.

I even told him how to do it correctly.
