  1. That 5.5 billions dollars in loss could have been used for Worker Demands. But Corporate America is too greedy.

  2. Way to stay strong uaw

  3. why don't the big 3 just do away with the union? Corporations don't need unions they need people, people who need jobs, when the UAW members run out of out of work pay they will come crawling back, when they do give them 2/3 what they used to have

  4. Unions have given Americans a good life

  5. Those cars break our bodies down

  6. Judgement on the Rich Trillionaires holding back wages from fieldworkers my your wealth be a testimony against you in the Day of Judgement

  7. The average America owns stock in the companies. Stop ripping us off

  8. If the UAW keeps closing down plants, then they are going to go too fare and Ford is just going to say this is what you get and if you do not like it then leave or the UAW will be forced to take what ever deal they can because the UAW can not stay on strike forever hey I am sorry but this is the reality of the situation if the UAW pushes too far Ford is just going to stop negotiations. When it comes to push and shove Ford will win and the UAW will be forced to settle on what Ford offers, Look the Ford brand is not selling and they have a lot of inventory so Ford can wait it out and with the holidays right around the corner, the UAW will need to compromise and settle and by that time Ford will have the upper hand

  9. Let the aliens fill positions
    Keep going strong ford

  10. This strike has cost the Big Three 5.5 billion dollars? Wow, that's gonna cut into the budget of their yacht maintenance & upkeep.

  11. Can you say ford Mexico

  12. The Big 3 being Honda, Toyota and Tesla are just doing just fine.

  13. Ford will move to Mexico.

  14. Unions will ruin Canada just like they did in the UK.

  15. If those unskilled UAW slobs worked half as hard as they strike, there wouldn't be any quality issues with these vehicles. UAW, unions against work

  16. About time.. Some real news for once not propaganda. It's been days

  17. Can’t believe GM, FORD let this happens. They made tons of $ and they just don’t want to share the profits. They fired tons of workers during the strike. Unspeakable GREED!

  18. American vehicles are garbage

  19. Just fire they all and bring in new workers that is none union .. I will be first in line.. " FORD " Frequently Off The Road

  20. Migrants will take the job

  21. I bought a brand new Ford and within 2 years I had to take it to get it fixed 4 times

    I got rid of the 2 years old Ford for a used 3 years old Honda and drive it for another 3 years without a single mechanical issue

  22. move it to a country where people want to work and produce good products. We can't sustain these hostage situations with our companies.

  23. Stand strong don’t let them do this to you they are so rich from taking from the workers greed they don’t care if you live in a cardboard box or in your car

  24. The American capitalist.

  25. Lazy lazy people. Imagine having no skill set and thinking you deserve more money. For working in a factory hahhahahah

  26. These media is still withholding information of what these work Union protesting about

  27. Good!!!! greedy companies! We bail out these @h0!$ and now they don't want to pay!

  28. Everybody's in favor of UAW strike, only problem is the consumer will pick up the costs on new vehicles. Just like tobacco companies did in the past. Nys pk. Of cigarettes. Now $15

  29. Lol, like anywhere in Kentucky would care about its workers… Another "Pull yourself up by your bootstraps!" state…

  30. Big 3 stepping over a dollar to pick up a nickel

  31. Unions created the largest middle class in the world back in the 50's, 60's, 70's, and 80's in the USA. Then the super rich declared war. The rich could not tolerate a powerful nation with a strong working class. So they moved everything off shore, bought off the Democratic party that dumped labor in 1978, already owned the Republicans, and proceeded to run our government into the ground as you see it today, a Fascist corporate oligarchy (banana republic).
