Ford Faces Strike At F-150 Plant Over Safety And Staffing Issues

About 7,000 UAW members at a Missouri plant that builds the highly profitable Ford F-150 could go on strike as soon as Sunday because Ford Motor Co. has refused to negotiate terms of a local contract “in good faith,” union leaders say.

UAW Local 249, whose members build the F-150 and Ford Transit van at the Kansas City Assembly Plant in Claycomo, Mo., has given Ford three days’ notice to cancel its contract extension and set a strike deadline of 1 p.m. CT on Sunday.

Oh great, I just ordered one. I wonder when it will actually arrive?

Here go the mindless daleks of the UAW Gestapo. Let's create an uproar as a precursor to contract negotiations. Played-out tactic.

The UAW is a cancer that must die.

I hope in round two, that Marchionne scorches the UAW.
