GM and Stellantis, this is why you are still faced with rolling stoppages while Ford is not. Time to sit down to talk, then step up to share the bounty with those who made it possible.

Demands are too drastic George, if they want a 32 hour work week then you get paid for a 32 hour work week. Not 40% more than their 40 your work week!

Why anchor to current pay? Why not compare to productivity scales pay from 30 years back?

Also the agreement is precedent setting. https://globalnews.ca/news/9982248/ford-motor-unifor-agreement-reached/#:~:text=Unifor%20and%20Ford%20reached%20a,for%20this%20round%20of%20bargaining.

They're also fighting for all American workers. Fed min wage has only gone up $7 in over 30 yrs, while CEO pay has gone up exorbitantly.
