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."

Interesting read, I definitely held the opposite opinion previously. No idea where I first heard it, but it's one of these "easy to grasp, difficult to let go" ideas.

See also "alpha males", which is also total BS, but often repeated.

Seems like an idea that these corps would love to spread. "Oh sorry, we just have to be evil because of those dang shareholders and regulations and such, you know we'd love to be completely benevolent but our hands are tied."
