" Ford is also running into resistance from its unionized work force
as it tries to cut costs further.
Its improving fortunes were the main reason cited by the United
Automobile Workers on Monday for rejecting another round of labor
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
decent
products that people want to buy?
lol lol
Ford is producing America's best vehicles. Their corporate leadership
has put them into a strong position, not having to take any bailout
money.
Wonderful!
Funny how the union thugs always blame a struggling company on the
management, but in this case, the union wants to take credit for
management's success. Freakin' union leeches.
I thought Ford wasn't struggling? Does the management team build the
cars or
is that done by the workers?
Union management is the most corrupt entity in big business... right
behind Chicago politics.
It has been in the past. Don't know if union management is now. Let's
assume
it is. Does that excuse management greed?
What about the greed of the union organizers who rely on the dues of
hard working people for their income? Do you really think they are in
it for the cause?

Of course not. They'll run a company into the ground, all the while
trumpeting that they are "collective bargaining" for the employees.
They've done it many times, while, as you say, they earn their
impressive salaries from the sweat of their indentured workers.

In the real world, "collective bargaining" is called coercion, or
"strong-arm tactics". It's illegal.

Your idealism is admirable. But your naiveté is telling of your youth
and lack of real world experiences. Come back and play againwhen you
mature and grow up. Until then, it is my solemn duty, honor, and
obligation to flush you down the toilet. Bye now. And be sure to say
hello to JPS and slammer when you arrive at your destination. Harry will
