Strike

[dfwford]

I just wish the 2 sides could come together finally. This has been dragging on for a month now.

Compared to the Actors and Writers strikes, which both dragged on for month(S), that's nothing...

Back in 2016 I was working for Verzion and their union went on strike. It lasted over 3 months. So it can definitely go on much longer.

No layoffs at Flat Rock, yet.

In rare move, Ford executive chair calls on UAW to make a deal and end ‘acrimonious’ talks

Welp, so much for Ford crying broke...

Yup it’s a wrap, I started with a 24 GT and was looking at mclaren 570GTs……

but if this new contract goes through… I may be more of a 720S “blue collar” kind of guy

Always good when both sides have to back down, but both get to call it a win.

Strike is tentatively over pending ratification of the deal by members.

 

[dfwford]

True.

The thing is, people have gotten so used to these contract ratifications being so benign in recent history that they've forgotten it's still a negotiation, and negotiations can become quite contentious.

Yep, that's true. Seems we've had quite a few more strikes lately, at that.

While not directly related to Ford, this article discusses the behind the scenes tensions when GM and UAW finally reached an agreement...

Strike is for real over now. Contact was ratified. Congratulations to UAW employees.

A rail strike in Canada.

Coyote engines are at least one thing sourced from Canada. Coupled with just-in-time delivery systems, there could be significant impacts to Ford, not just in the production of Mustangs, but F150s and other vehicles.

In the other direction, completed cars headed to Canada could be affected. Dealers might have insight.

Good Luck to anyone impacted.

Yeah I saw this as well. I'm going to be reaching out to my dealer to see if my DH is truly on CONVOY (like the window sticker said) or whether it relies on RAIL in any way shape or form. My delivery update still says Sept 1 to Sept 7 and there have been no updates yet.

That strike will cause some impact to every day folks as well; including shutting down two local people-mover lines in the GTA: GO train service on Milton line and Hamilton GO Station cancelled

Imo jit akin to supermarket vs cupboard.

I hope having a window sticker and a blend date means all the parts for my build are currently on site.
