Ford CEO: 'We're very optimistic that we can reach an agreement with the UAW' | ABCNL 

4:07 First time I've heard the news directly ask a high-earning CEO about his/her salary. Definitely impressed. He completely skirted the question, obviously, but at least it was asked.

Love how he curved the question about his salary lol. Get real dude

If things aren’t settle Friday morning, let’s see how much “value” top brass brings to the company when there is no one to run the machines. It’s the blue collars guys that build the product that keeps the lights on in the factories. The sooner top brass appreciates that the better things will be.

Union Strong! Hopefully Union victories will help set the standard for other industries and encourage the creation of more unions. We need to close to the wealth gap and bring back the middle class in USA. Livable wages, good health insurance, and time with family should be attainable for anyone working full time.

Lol he went red when she ask about to 281 wage gap... lmfao.

$21 million/year = $1,750.000/ month = $420,000/ week = $10,500/ hour. Ford could hire 100 people to do his job @ $105/hour each.

What’s being competitive in the market have to do with his ridiculous salary?

We deserve better wages. Anybody at top pay from 2019-2023 lost about $55k over 4 years due to inflation.

401k is no substitute for a PENSION. Don't be fooled by a pay increase now, which will only translate to a small amount on your take home pay each week, trust me it won't change your lifestyle. But a PENSION in your later years when you are no longer working, DEFINITELY WILL!!

Having a pay increase is truly needed at this time, but a PENSION is way more important. You will need that PENSION check in your later years when you are no longer working.

They waited to the very last day to say this. I for one hooe they strike. Shawn Fain said ot best. "Were not wrecking the economy,were wrecking THEIR ECONOMY💯

What Farley is saying is, "Ford needs UAW plants to fund EVs" It's funny how important the UAW is when Farley has gone around the UAW to start up non-union EV plants. I've seen what Ford is trying to pay future automobile workers and Farley should be embarrassed.

Ford made a huge mistake going all in on EVs. Estimated to lose $4.5 billion this year… and that was before having to pay their workers substantially more money.

How about you tell them how you gave yourself a 40% raise? 🤔

Can’t wait for Thursday. And I work in auto sales. It’s been graveyard slow

Let's talk PENSION!!

Vehicle prices keep going up because the CEO is going to raise 46% ridiculous

It will not raise prices, stop with the same ol bs talking points. No one batted an eye when Farley receives a 40% increase in pay, vehicle prices sky rocketed 30%. So it is not us that caused price in vehicles.

Competitive with a 21 million dollar year a salary, guy has no clue what the real world of living is, strike and let these CEO wake up with a headache

Anyone know what current pay per hr at ford with uaw workers are right now?

Jim Farley should take a pay cut so Ford can be more "competitive."

If we don’t stand now things will never change. It’s time we make the companies realize who actually does the work and allows them to have these big fat salaries that they do, the UAW workers make that happen and in return get the scraps every contract! From now on record profits = record contracts!!! No more!

solidarity with UAW. Shawn Fain is AWSOME :)

That CEO doesnt work harder then any UAW member but he had no problem giving himself a huge slice of the profit pie

The automakers created this problem themselves. They left car prices too high for too long because they wanted to do share buy backs and give out huge bonuses. If they would have dropped their prices back down to pre pandemic levels, I bet the union wouldn’t be asking for so much.

Do he have on a wig ?

Of course theyre optimistic. The UAW is fighting for wages they should have had 20 years ago..

Have to keep investing ? A 29 million dollar salary cutting that would most definitely help

A better speech than Tommy Boy

Wow..the people really have the power…

I hope Ford could make it out of this, and reach an agreement with the UAW by tomorrow. Otherwise, GM and Stellantis will take longer.

Do not demand more work or they will be able to renegotiate.

This guy is full of it. They can afford. Stop worrying about the shareholders alone. All stakeholders need to be included. This guy need to take a huge pay cut

Love how he speaks on 5 weeks vacation I got that but what good does it do after 21 years every day I apply for get denied here it is bout mid September and still have over half left cause they won’t let me have any of the days I’ve applied for off. A strike will not raise the prices of vehicles and if it does it’s them being greedy and seeing an opportunity to price gouge and that should be illegal. Biden wants to do something for the working class he should write an executive order saying at the onset of the strike and for the year raising vehicle prices would be illegal but he won’t cause just like media the democrats are bought an paid for by these large corporations and companies and the working class has been decimated. The vast majority of big 3 workers can’t even afford the vehicles that they help build. Individuals who deliver boxes get paid $49 an hour and some how that didn’t bankrupt that company but individuals that build 80 thousand plus dollar trucks an SUVs can’t dare make more then $32 and that’s if and when they are made permanent and that can take 10 years then 8 year grow in so a vast majority of these workers takes them 15 years or more before they make almost $20 less then those that deliver boxes,ya that’s not backwards. In todays money back in 1972 a big 3 worker was making $62 an hour but they don’t wanna bring those wages back to the 70% region cause it’ll bankrupt those white collar individuals that don’t add a drop of worth to these companies yet they receive 22 million in bonuses spend upwards of 50 billion in stock buy backs and dividends but dare spend some money on the people who make those profits and it’s all out were insane. In 09 COLA was suspended and told it’ll be returned once they was profitable yet here we are 14 years later and it’s still excuse after excuse upon why they can’t,less then 13% of Americans want EV’s yet they plan to listen to a bunch of tree hugging democrats that have lost their minds and way with working families and forcing companies to do this that’s also destroying another group of middle class jobs just like Biden did with pipeline workers. Only people that benefit from the switch to these is the wealthy.

"Transition of the industry" = Electric Cars 2:30

Omg, Tommy Boy!

Y'all didn't go bankrupt, and WE carried you and got used🤬

Let's go Chrysler

He said nothing of value. Bet ai could replace him tomorrow for no salary

Ford to Dems in 2022: $366,839 Ford to Reps in 2022: $348,729 Department of Energy to Ford in 2023: $9.2 billion

How does endless money for the rest of your life sound?? PENSION!

PENSION, PENSION, PENSION, PENSION! This is the payoff that you and your family will receive after you retire. Not 401k. It's endless money for you and your family in your later years when you are no longer working.

The problem is the F150 only thing ford has right now

F them let them go work at McDonald's

Uaw is asking for the to much. Who do you think is going to cover those costs?? Consumers! UAW is going to price themselves out of a job when union vehicles cost to much more compared to non-union vehicles. They'll ship the manufacturing out and bye-bye UAW and the workers.

Of course there’s no limitation To his salary. In his eyes, he’s underpaid!!!! When they brag about this being the most lucrative contract for the hourly force in 80 year’s, he failed to mention that the FoMoCo hourly worker were the ones who saved the company from filing bankruptcy when they gave THOUSANDS back to the company in 2007. GTFOH

First we need to ask how much is the current wages for the union workers. Average American workers is at $15 per hour. How much are their hourly wages?

Unions need to spread all over the country, its time to get real wage increases. The F150 is the most overpriced pickup truck. They are price gouging the consumers. 80k for a box with 4 wheels, come on

Liar.. End corporate greed 🥂🇺🇲

😂 totally deflected and avoided the salary question. take less money Jim. grandpas rolling over in his grave at how you've treated your workers.

Union 💪 no pension increase no vote.. I started the year my dad retired pensions haven’t raised since I have 25 years in… its time!!! We gave up on hand shake deals and shallow promises in O7 .. keep skirting questions.. raises, cola, pensions, tiers gone

Mexico 🇲🇽

*RU-vid just pulled down Tesla's channel. Elon Musk was live and introducing his new ev and...boom ..gone..no more Elon. They took his channel down. WOW! Chitz crazy

FORD UAW IS WEAK HATES OLD UAW MEMBERS

Lmao off you dont get that time off till you have 25 years in.

Poor guy only makes a little over $10,500 an hour. Those people making $16.50 an hour are greedy.

Those workers need to get their ass back in the factory. We don’t need vehicle prices getting any higher.

The kids are grown, the lake house needs a new roof, the pontoon needs a new motor, I want to hang out in Miami during the winter months, that C8 Corvette sure looks nice. Hey guys, a PENSION can make all that happened relatively easy. It's endless money!!

Watching these videos, don't look like any of these workers are starving or overworked.

Man these people make more money than me and I study my ass off in engineering. They aren't greatful just having a job.

I've never seen so many overweight workers demanding more pay for their "hard" jobs.

The American dream includes working hard! The lazy auto workers do nothing. They have no skills other than extortion. Where else could these people get jobs that pay that much? Answer nowhere!
