I removed my sticker.... it's sad.... the UAW got such massive concessions at the other two with the Government stepping in... it was always the last shoe to drop... Ford WILL be punished for not giving the UAW all that it desires or deems fair. Very sad.

I really wonder, if push comes to shove, if Ford will try to break free. AND if they do... how many loyal Ford owners will support the company vs the UAW's demands to be made whole? How can Ford EVER negotiate contracts as sweet as the ones GM will have when the UAW are part owners of GM? Sooner or later, this will become a battle royal that will pit labor vs one of the oldest companies in the industry and may very well break the chain of contracts of the last 50 years..
Ford and the UAW have very different and seemingly diverging directions upcoming and I wish them both well, but Ford more so. Let the UAW have their GM that they took over... and may Ford find a way to compete and maintain quality and consumer support.
