So the UAW who are a co owner of Ford's major competitor GM are now organizing a strike for Ford workers. This is the insanity the bailout by the admin has created. I'm shocked. I say let em strike. Close the doors for a day and open em back up and hire somebody who wants to work.

Ford should move their assembly to a foreign country like Idaho, where they have right to work laws.

Ford should move to a right to work state and leave the union scumbags without jobs. Unions destroyed the auto industry already.

Sounds like a good plan. Ford can move to a free state, while the union goons stay behind in leftie lala land. Ford gets better employees and a more business friendly state. While the union can keep beating their chests and further marginalize themselves. BTW, Hoffa can stay in Michigan, we have no use for trailer trash like him in Idaho.

Thanks to the UAW. Unions are far too greedy.
