Where is the program being broadcast from? A *Ford* assembly plant.


Are you trying to say that the UAW didn't make huge concessions in
dealing with the revitalization of Ford?

He is trying to say Ford did not need bailout money because their
pension plan was funded and they negotiated their own deals with the
UAW without needing the government gun. They also had a better
product.

Well....their pickup diesel engines left something to be desired in terms of reputation. Otherwise
I'd be driving a Ford diesel.
