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.

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...
