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.

Good luck to Ford in getting rid of the Union.
To: Sub-Driver
Ford is soaring because it hasn’t been taken over.
Saw a video I believe of a Ford plant in Brazil. Highly efficient, the various parts manufacturers bring their stuff right to the assembly line so the cars can be completed as ordered in record time.
Then the video explains the United States cannot have such plants because the unions prevent manufacturers from participating in this way.

And what if their unions command that NO ONE takes this offer? What happens to Ford then?

Bwa-ha-ha. The unions aren't getting any love, first from ObamaCare, then from this with Ford. Yeah, I see this as attempt at Union Busting. Sorry UAW like the rest of your organized-worker ilk, you've gotten too greedy and have pushed up the cost of cars. You've successfully bastardized the simple concept of watching out for the little guy INTO making a good company become a bloated bureaucracy that has to cope with worker Slowdowns and Strikes if Ford doesn't book 4-star hotels for UAW management when they go to out-of-town training classes. Ford's in a good spot to do well once Obama’s removed from office and/or his Federal corporate policy is neutralized, especially with the OTHER car makers trying to sell Green cars that not so many want.

Sounds like FoMoCo is bent of shedding some dead weight and growing. Now all they have to do is close EVERYTHING in IN, OH, MI, IL and move Lock, Stock, and Barrel to the S. (right to work) States and REALLY GROW!

Hm. If I were a new employee offered 70,000 to leave that would be tempting. Provided I could find employment elsewhere.
To: Sub-Driver
Excellent. My faith in American industry is being restored. First, Ford doesn’t ask for a goverment handout and now this. Maybe I should buy Ford stock.

Think.
They didn't take the proposed Contract Renegotiation's, hmmm... You think they could be a cowinkadink here with these two items? Do you think that if the numbers are not met, there might be the possibility of more "changes" i.e. permanent layoffs?
