smart business move.

I had expected GM & Chrysler to do this earlier. If they did do it,I missed it.

Long overdue, but certainly appropriate.

Is this a union-busting strategy?

41,000 fewer UAW members !!!! Hope they don’t count as legacies.

I like Ford. I loathe the stinking UAW.

Go Ford! Divest yourself of all UAW members. It will improve your image in the market place and improve your product. Get rid of the union and you won’t be able to build cars fast enough!

...we still have a surplus in employees...

Hmmm, everywhere you look these days, there is a surplus of employees.

Sadly, and to quote Marxist Obama... and you ain't seen nuthin' yet.

It’s not quite the same as banning UAW members from all Ford-owned property and instituting a policy of hiring non-unionized employees, but it’s a nice start.

I know they’re cutting dental benefits. They cut back the dividend checks to deceased retirees’ spouses to 65%. When mom complains I tell her to thank God that Ford did not take bailout money.

Perhaps Ford wants to go back to being an auto manufacturer instead of a health care & retirement services company.

I wonder if you could throw an extra % into the buyout if they de-certify the Union on the way out the door.

That would help Ford and American industry in general.

Alright. UAW declared war on Ford, now Ford has countered.

This would fit in nicely with my plan to stop working when all these new taxes on my labor begin. I am not going haul my old body out of bed every day to have the leeches suck more blood from me. I’m going to become a leech.

Right off the Ford payroll, and right on to our payroll (tax payers).
