Why is UAW soft on Ford?
All three companies offered the same increase of 20% in wages, so how is Ford any different from the rest.
How do I do the bare minimum here?

New LL6 is horrible manager
I don’t like having him as my manager; should I complain to my LL5 that I want to move to another team? The LL6 is a useless BSer who has no technical knowledge on anything and I don’t respect him.
THIS is Ford
If Ford is somehow able to entertain or meet the demands of the UAW unlike Stellantis and GM, perhaps that's an indication that they truly have been screwing the hourly workers for years. Ford is always measuring itself against the performance... — read more
Speak up - is it worth it? How is it anonymous?
I am considering reporting our abysmal new mgr and his tag-alongs via speak up. While it's supposed to be anonymous, how is that possible when you have to be on your ford machine to do it? My Csid is logged in, so of course they'll know it's me. Has... — read more

Get Ready Ford Salary workforce
As soon as contract is settled the plan will be cut Americans and send their jobs to LLC. So long West Dearborn you will be a ghost town next year. No offense to the UAW just the facts.
There is no future for this company tbh
People don’t collaborate, people take hours to respond on slack / WebEx. This is where dreams and goals go to die. If you are extremely unambitious and want to coast for the rest of your life , this is the place to be.

Doesn't start until January 1, 2024.
I don't feel like im part of a team honestly
I pretty much work alone and there is no one i can work with or collaborate with. Not sure how there is going to be any culture here left; this is a sad way to work
Really? Ford is lost.
Not major issue but embarrassing for a major vehicle manufacturer. Says we can’t do simple things well or don’t care. The Ford Super Duty has certainly been the subject of its fair share of lawsuits and recalls over the years, with most of the... — read more

When is the blood bath ?
LL6s here are useless
Mine literally doesn’t do any work and keeps pretending to try to be helpful.
What if this is all planned
What if this strike was a collaboration between Ford and the UAW to be the pretext for the "bloodbath" that's going to happen on 09-23-2023? Ford will eventually give the UAW the number they agreed on, and they use that increase as pretext to layoff... — read more

Salaried Get Ready
Whatever extra cost the UAW contract incurs, executives will offset by reducing more from salaried personnel. Salaried are pawns in managements chess game.
Received a notice from the Company to avoid unnecessary spending.
So what about the recent church purchase? The Company spends like a drunken sailor, pay their top 5 persons a combined $70 million, have the audacity to tell the UAW workers they can't give them what they want, and they have the nerve to tell us... — read more

Where is / what is the cause of the quality issues?
