The absolutely beautiful reason that I can tell that they still aren't agreeing to Fords concessions is because they in solidarity with new workers that don't even exist yet, are demanding that Fords new battery plants they are building be placed under the same labor agreement they are fighting for.

"The UAW, according to Ford officials, has taken a hard line on requiring the company’s four new battery plants be placed under the terms of the labor agreement."

Is this not the same article? I see them mentioning laying off 4.6k workers across all plants but not specifically this one. Its my understanding too these layoffs are non strikers because the plant cannot operate. I also thought there were somekind of penalties or contract stuff to prevent firing striking workers, I am assuming this is a protected strike. Just kinda seems like the post is misleading, esp since there is no mention about firing striking workers.

Ford officials said the work stoppage will lead to “painful aftershocks,” including full or partial layoff

Full or partial layoffs in other plants
