concessions that would have roughly matched concessions that workers
at Chrysler and General Motors approved in the spring."

The U.A.W.'s president, Ron Gettelfinger, and its vice president in
charge of the Ford unit, Bob King, said in a statement that the
carmaker's third-quarter profit was "evidence of the contributions
that Ford workers have made.""

Why should they cave to demands from management? How about producing

There's another option. I think you know what it is. **** the unions.
They have pretty much destroyed manufacturing in America. They may have
fulfilled a need in the past but now they are just excess baggage. And
every American has to pay in one way or another.
