uawfactoryrat Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 :rant:How could the uaw or caw let ford produce a car not touched by ford hourly employees. I looked through the contract and came up scratching my head! Unbelievable, designed by ford but no union employee will lay a finger on it? Hell, at least Saleen built the last one and delivered it to Wixom and they put the engine and trans in and called it a ford. Sorry union, lost some faith in you guys. Please don't let me down on the new contact. I wont give up on you guys if you get back most of the things we gave up and a raise for all. You guys get one every few years how about one for us 1st tier. :rant: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a much bigger problem than a low volume toy. Most of these are built by workers getting less per hour than the posted profit sharing rate.
