if I had a truck on order I would cancel. This is not the atmosphere you want it built. Even if the deal goes through the line workers will not be 100%. Nothing better than a unhappy parts installer. It will keep dealers service departments busy.

Lol. They better hope the deal goes through. I talked to my kid yesterday (he delivers to lap and ktp) and asked how ford was doing, he said they are not doing much. His hours are cut and ford is canceling orders. I thought everything was hunky dory. The uaw line people just aren’t performing. Guess they mad.

I wouldn’t be in a big hurry. And I would go over it with a fine toothed comb upon delivery.

What specific, serious deregulation do you feel will resolve, or help, the contract negotiations, employee morale and build quality?

I dont think the auto industry has any regulation in the classic sense when talking about "de-regulation"...
We arent forced by the government to only buy cars built in our state...at a fixed price...

yea, I know. Thats good if ktp stays up and has parts. And hopefully ktp employees weren’t part of the 55% that voted against contract.

Why the heck can Toyota make some of the most reliable vehicles they sell here without a hitch with a similar worker pool?

MOST people who work in unions are overall happy with their situation, mostly because most people who go work a union job know its union before hand. Some even seek out union jobs.
It only ever seems like outsiders who have never worked a union job are the ones that are mad at the unions.

Keep that "outsiders gonna hate" attitude up, and watch the world leave you behind.
