also there is a constraint for the 10R140 transmission for the 6.7 and 7.3 drive trains due to Supply Issues.

So exciting. Hoping they get something worked out with the union workers . I asked my dealer about scheduling and they told me that their orders are "open " . Wonder if that means being previewed.

I would assume that if they plan on scheduling on 9/7 that they would preview this week.
 
With all three major auto manufacturers negotiating with the UAW it is likely that the Federal government will get involved in the negotiation rather than risk having the UAW walk out on one or all three. It is likely that the big 3 will request Federal mediation to help come to terms as well as to avoid/delay a strike. Keep in mind that the big 3 are also negotiating with the union in Canada (Unifor) which add complexity and in some ways can work against the unions as they're competing for the same resources.

You can see how this works by looking at the contract negotiations with American Airlines and the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA union. In the AA / AFA-CWA negotiation, the union has also voted to authorize a strike. The Feds stepped in and both parties will go through mediation. If they can't come to terms, then there will be a mandatory 30 day cooling off period before the flight attendants will be able to strike. The union does a nice job of outlining the negotiation process:

https://www.apfa.org/negotiations/u...per-mediation - The,30-day cooling off period.

If the negotiation process with the UAW follows a similar path, then employees will continue to work during this period which could go for several months so we could see the completion of the 2023 model year and the start of the 2024 production cycle before any disruption takes place. In addition to the national contracts that are being negotiated, there are also location (plant) specific addendums to address site specific needs that are also on the table and these would be unlikely to get settled simultaneously, so negotiations are likely to continue for months to come.

Long MacArthur also stated in their hour+ live feed that any current constraints are specific to the 2023 builds and nothing has been communicated for the 2024's. One could assume they would likely carry over, but they could have different supply allocations and associated constraints respective of each model year. It was also indicated that the 2024 allocations for specific trims, etc. were similar to what was communicated at the start of 2023.

And, they cautioned against canceling your MY23 order even if you ordered a MY24. Sounds like there may be some PCO's going out to those that have MY23's in the system that do not get built.

Unions appeal to the lowest common denominator, and "mandate" pay and benefits increases, rather than allocating them via meritocracy. Tenure is king, doesn't matter if you're a great worker, or more likely, a lazy ass. Sure, they once had their place before labor laws and OSHA (the West Virginia Coal Mines come to mind), when employers were forcing unsafe working conditions and child labor, but those days are long in the rearview. They should be in jail for racketeering and organized crime, not telling us how much money they deserve to do a robot's job.

Inflation is the expansion of the money supply, too much money chasing too few goods, can't keep paying everyone more and more, and simultaneously expect to curb inflation.

I think in that article it says they have funds to pay the striking workers for 10 or so weeks.

Yeah, that's $100 per business day starting on day 9 of the strike, so they'll take the first week unpaid (can't use sick or vacation time when your on strike). The workers will definitely feel the pinch going from an average salary of $78k per year to an effective $26k income for the period that they are receiving strike pay.
 
Regardless…what kind of quality workmanship can we expect out of disgruntled human workers preparing to strike for months??? I remember article about Bosworth (nfl linebacker) working an automotive line and putting nuts/bolts in cracks and crevices that could never be removed yet made rattle noises 100% of the time…so much to worry about with zero control of outcome…I hate thinking about bailing to get something on lot now when it all looks so bleak!

I appreciate your perspective, but I see it differently (after 20+ years in human resources including working with union-represented workers). Those employees will not want to weaken their bargaining position by reducing the quality of their labor. Also, after the negotiations are complete, they will still work there and the company would likely continue to hold people to performance standards during and following negotiations. Not worth losing your job over.

Now if the workers do strike and if Ford hires replacement workers to keep production going, then I would be very concerned about quality.

My luck my truck will be built in the cooling off period… and will be all jacked up. I hope they resolve this before the 24 MY starts production
 
If they came out with this color for SD, it’d be all over it. Love the dark muted greens. Instead they added two boring colors for 2024 SD.

I just received the supply chain constraints email for my 2024… ugh!
 
Wellll. Everyone will. They haven’t even started scheduling the 2024’s.

I also got one. They email something exactly 45 days after you order. My guess is you’re not scheduled, that’s the email you get, even you you end up getting scheduled this coming Thursday.
 
I ordered just a Lariat Tremor… did not get the ultimate package because I didn’t want all the self driving crap!
 
I to got a supply chain excuse letter yesterday. As I mentioned in the 2023 thread, I am not sure if the letter was about my not yet scheduled 2023 order(11-3-2022) or the 2024 backup order(7-18-23) because Granger used the same order number for both of them. I guess if several of you got the letter for your 2024s, that was probably what mine was for.
