Ford offers buyouts to all UAW workers

Organized unions, once entrenched, are hard to get rid of. Once they're in, they're in for life. Even if Ford is able to buy out the union workers, the union bosses and union organizers will still be lurking, if not on the inside, then from the outside. Union labor at Ford, after the buyout, will be like a dormant virus in an animal host; it will be looking for the slightest opportunity to revive and become fully active and take over.

Ford plans on moving much of its manufacturing offshore. The first rule of portfolio management is spread the risk. Having too much of your portfolio at the mercy of UAW flunkies and their pols is a mistake learned the hard way. Don’t expect Ford to cede any strategic interests to the UAW. Expect Ford to cut them completely off under an anti-trust suit. UAW will not be allowed on Fords premises. No competitor allows there competition run of the shop. Remember, UAW is a auto maker and competes with Ford. Any time the UAW starts sucking up to Fords non-union workers watch Ford give their workers a raise. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Ford workers earning more than UAW workers in a matter of two years. Starve the beast - cut off its union dues.
