Ford tempts UAW with bonuses



Two down, one to go...

Now that the UAW, GM, and Chrysler are old news, Ford is now front and center. Unlike the other domestic automakers, Ford is proposing bonuses that are tied to the company's performance to be a part of the settlement package.

"One of my priorities is to bring us together as team," Mulally said...
"Only as a team will we achieve what we all desire—a new, more competitive and more viable Ford Motor Co. that works for everyone."

A "team," and not us-vs-them? Think it will it fly with the UAW?

Full story here; and here's a related story as it pertains to GM and future new hires cosing half as much as before.

No, why should it? They'll at least appease the UAW initially with this because it's different than what GM and Chrysler is offering. It'll eventually become old to the Union and new deals will have to be made to keep them happy. It's a vicious cycle.

Any takers for how long the UAW will strike Ford? I'm shooting for 4 hours.
