Glad my '23 Tremor is in my garage!

I just posted this on the 24 production thread. UAW ain't screwing around now.
They want the battery plants added to the deal like GM did last week.

For Sale: 2022 F350 Tremor. $156,000. No low ballers. I know what I have. Hahaha

I'm not paying a .01 over $150,000!

 

[Mister Bevilaqua]

Hmm, maybe I should put mine up for sale?!

 

[MVI]

bam, and to add insult my Build Dates just went from OCT 30 to NOV 6.

Ha, bet it is longer than that

 

[Jnelli]

Well better now than halfway thru production! More time to save up!

They’re a ‘23 Black Lariat Tremor at the dealer I have my ‘24 Platinum order with. They can’t sell it yet due to
Some software recall they have to do. Someone please tell me I’m dumb for thinking I should just get into that while waiting.

 

[Jackjam]

They are full of crap. They can’t get parts anyway so this should be good time for all the suppliers to catch up.

The strikes affect suppliers in some regard as well unfortunately.

Oh well, Ford can meet their demands and end it any time.

This reminds me, I need to remove the UAW sticker from my windshield...

dont like the sticker? or dont like the working middle class union members who built your truck?

 

[StrokinOut]

..or, their Union handlers can accept Fords generous offer and gtf back to work.

Why not both?

they could absolutely put it up for vote, and the members can vote it down?

I think the thing that annoys me the most about all this is it seems Fain is just in it for the spotlight. Has he even brought any of the offers to the workers and have them vote on it??? Probably not. He's still getting his lovely six figure paychecks while the strikes are going on. He doesn't care. But what about the ones that are working paycheck to paycheck at the plants?? I'm sure they can't afford to live on $500/week. I'd bet the ones that have been on the picket lines the longest have been struggling to pay the bills, if they even are paying them. Or they're racking up their credit cards to pay the bills... Either way, it's only hurting the workers and all the other jobs that rely on having these plants open.

if youre a union worker(I am), and you didnt save money for a potential strike then thats poor planning. They all knew there was potential for a strike, so hopefully they had savings set back. I dont think Fain is in it for the spotlight, I think hes in it to not sell his members down the road(look what Hoffa Jr. did to his members). back room handshake cock grab deals exist between the union leaders and the companies. usually the workers get screwed by these deals.
