And everyone to judge his actions for themselves. I’ll believe he’s not a communist when he stops acting like one.

Does this mean I will not be able to get parts for my 1999 Ranger or the 2000 F350 Dually?
What shall we do.... The sky is falling......

I’m glad it’s a funny joke to you. Can I have your phone number to forward my angry customers to? 2022 Silverado work truck is stuck in our lot because we can’t get the front subframe for the doghouse. That’s someone’s truck they use to carry their tools and supplies to job sites that has a truck that will be sitting there waiting for parts to arrive because some moron was too busy on their phone to stop for a light.

I mean I guess you dial it often enough you’ve got that memorized. Not sure customers want the lgbtqbbqwrx hotline.

So apparently all of our union folks are fine with shutting down small businesses and holding peoples vehicles hostage because they can’t get fixed. That’s awesome. I hear hamas is recruiting. They have immediate openings I m sure.

As much as your crying about it, I thought you needed to call and find a safe space.


Heaven forbid folks working under a contract, do better with a new contract.

Apparently at any cost. Good to see they care about other people. Oh… wait…

Looks pretty accurate.

Generalize, equate, and go to extremes much?

Oh wait, you just answered.

So you do or do not agree with holding hundreds of thousands peoples vehicles hostage to achieve your goal? The vehicle they use to transport their family, get to and from their own job.

Seems a bit like cutting off your nose to spite your face to me. You’re pissing off all your current customers to ensure they never buy another one of your products.

If/when this **** get resolved the BO parts that are setting at the warehouse are going to be snatched up instantly, the resupply for those parts is going to take 3 times as long.
The ripples of this are going to carry over for years.

Yeah, the small biz guy with a broken truck he uses to make money is probably going to be looking elsewhere when it's time to buy again.

Then you have the other people that have a damaged/broken newer vehicle, that is their only means of transportation,
add in a car payment on that vehicle... that can't drive it for an indefinite amount of time? Sucks to be them I guess.

Some of these things came with not much warehousing any longer.
On Demand parts, its today's reality. Most traditional manufacturing is long gone.

Just so we're clear, the union is 100% at fault, right? The companies are just innocent victims, right?

Let's ignore the fact that the big three sat on their ass for two months before submitting proposals. Let's also ignore the fact that their initial proposals were total ****. Let's ignore the fact that, if they would have gotten serious two months before the contracts ended and gave halfway decent proposals, we probably wouldn't be on strike. We certainly would be a lot closer to ending the strike. Let's not forget that Mary Barra flat out said that COLA wasn't something we would ever get back. In other words, it doesn't matter that we promised to reinstate COLA, **** you.

Nope, this is 100% the union's fault. Got it.

Do you really think these people getting ****ed care about the timeline of “whose fault is it anyway?” What they know is they aren’t going to be buying a big 3 vehicle again.

But I’ll ask AGAIN do you think that holding hundreds of thousands of vehicles hostage to get your way is ok? Killing small business and letting people pay a monthly payment for something they can’t use?

I believe the market decide every single one of your questions.

Your idea of throwing in Hamas, hostages, and other such nonsense language in your posts about Unions is nonsense.

I believe your use of language such as all, never, killing etc is nonsense.

UAW expands auto strike to Ford's biggest plant in surprise move

United Auto Workers on Wednesday shut down Ford's biggest plant globally, halting production of lucrative pickup trucks with little warning, in a sharp escalation of the union's four-week targeted strike against the Detroit Three automakers.

www.reuters.com

"The UAW had expected for the last two weeks an improved proposal from Ford, and on Wednesday it brought the same offer, a union source said."

Ford was given two weeks to make another proposal, but they decided to do nothing. Yep, 100% union's fault.
