Are there no independant non-union car haulers that Ford could use despite the Teamsters partnership? Lets hope they don't picket the rail yards.

If Ford I’ll tell me which rail yard my truck is in, I’ll go to my dealer, do the paperwork, and go get my truck…if and when this scenario arises.

UAW is also asking for 20% reduction in work hours with 40 hr pay -- 40 hrs down to 32 hrs. This would require additional workers be hired and trained to maintain production since I believe UAW is also demanding no mandatory overtime. Pensions, job security guarantees, end to temporary workers, the whole enchilada.

Yea and that would result in a 20% decrease in product output, wouldn't it?

With the UAW “strategic“ strike, the only Ford plant on strike right now is Wayne, Michigan. It makes Rangers nd Broncos. Will the Teamsters refuse to haul any Ford product from anyplace to anyplace? If the UAW doesn’t want to shut down absolutely, will the Teamsters hold the same philosophy?

I would have flew to Hermosillo - seriously -
but they won't let you do that.
(Especially for $1,595 off)

If this lingers, it will eventually stall production. I'm sure parts are shipped to Mexico, but I have no clue how far in advance they are shipped. It aint good, that's for sure.

Yeah lets hit the American economy while it's down as we head from recession to depression. Lets impede the Covid recovery as much as possible. This could cost the economy billions of dollars. Great strategy.

Then Ford and the rest of the big 3 should come to the table with better offers. The UAW took concessions when the economy was hurt last they negotiated. They are overdue a piece of the unprecedented profits the auto makers have reaped in the past few years. Do I think they walk away from this with 46% pay increases, 32 hour work weeks, pensions for new hires, and an end to the tier system? No. But I don't blame the union for standing their ground to get more.

I read the articles that I didn’t have to pay for, and I think that the only plants impacted by the teamsters are the ones not making cars, which they really can’t pick up cars from, right? Also, the UAW is striking at the stellantis jeep wrangler and gladiator plant, of which dealers have months on inventory of those vehicles on the lots. My maverick is supposed to be built next week after waiting 13 months, I’m not sure I can handle more waiting

The UAW strategy is apparently to make vehicles that only their top seniority workers and the management of these companies can afford to buy.

You can’t help but think this is all going to come crashing down around them, but I hope it don’t.

My XL Hybrid is scheduled for the week of 10/23 (about 5 weeks away). So much could happen between now and then that it’s impossible to even speculate what effect the UAW stirike might have on my truck.

The only problem with that is their insurance company won't let them allow untrained people to pick things up. Too much risk for them.

They would think it would be me picking up your vehicle that you paid for or vice versa. Or someone would get hurt or damage property.

Insurance companies probably have more influence on corporate policies than unions do.

Again read the article, the teamsters will not cross picket lines. no line, no stoppage.

My truck has been waiting in Delaware for about a week now. Somehow they can’t get it delivered. Literally only an hour and a half drive away from Baltimore.
