UAW workers officially go on strike at Ford Michigan Assembly Plant 

It's so strange how people complain about workers asking for a 40% raise but don't bat an eye when *one person* takes home $29 million dollars in *one year* (as if that single person is worth hundreds of times more than than the labor of thousands). Stand strong UAW! We support you.

Corporate Greed has brought the country down starting in 2008. The CEO to worker salary rate is a damn shame. This will be a big moment in our country's history whether the working middle class will survive or disappear.

“He couldn’t do what we do on the line” damn lol

Big 3 have invested $$$......UAW workers have invested their time ; their life. Your time has made them far beyond filthy...yes filthy rich.

every news station should be covering this!

Hell yeah UAW stand up for what you deserve!! The fact that the people running Fords had the audacity to say that giving their workers a 46% pay bump would bankrupt them when their profits are PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE, a company that made over 20 billion dollars this year, a record profit, isn’t allowed to pull the whoa is me card. It would cost them less than 1/20th of those profits to give every single employee at Fords that raise… Just do the right thing Ford, please. This isn’t unreasonable at all, it’s literally just giving back what the workers gave up to save your arses during the economic downturn which was 15 YEARS AGO! Crazy.

I STAND WITH UAW..RETIRED FROM LOCAL 735.. BE SAFE EVERYONE

The 11:00 p.m. shift end time must have been a across-the-board call for some plants, they let us go home at 11 also. And I work for Stellantis 2nd shift.

Solidarity! We support and stand with you!

I saw them protesting last night on Michigan Ave! Power to the worker.

Solidarity is a beautiful thing hold the line brothers and sisters

We support you! Unifor Local 127 member from one of your feeder plants! SOLIDARITY! 💯

Workers who dedicate themselves to the company should be paid more.

Hold the lines brothers and sisters .

Local 243 teamsters here with you, much love and support. Fight for what you deserve

Can't afford the cars we build. Since the time of Henry Ford.

Let’s go UAW🎉🎉🎉🎉

lol my moms in that strike i deadass just called her

Polls suggest that the majority of people support Unions. I agree. But people DO NOT support unreasonable demands brought forth by workers with very limited skills who already make $33/hour.

There is NO Capital WITHOUT Labor… period

Like you said your assembly workers… you assemble…. There are thousands of small companies that actually produce the parts your screwing together…. P.s. they are NOT union companies, so you are putting together vehicles with part produced by by non union workers…. Most but not all of the worker NON SKILLED putting together parts that other people produced doesn’t mean you deserve some crazy ass contract….. pretty soon union made vehicles will cost so much that people will just go to the foreign made car because they will be cheaper… think about it… you shop at Walmart cuz it’s cheaper….. what if the Walmart employees asked for a 43% pay increase and now you have to pay 43% more for your fruit loops you would be very upset… I am not against a fair contract but this ridiculous… 32 hour work weeks and 5 week’s vacation who gets that? There is less then 1% of the people in this county that get 5 weeks of vacation and 17 days payed holidays…… As a tool and die maker for 28 year if I went to my boss and demanded what your asking they would laugh me right out of the office and I’m skilled trade….. 2 years of schooling and 4000 hours of training…. Not here’s a part put it there with this tool…. Like I said most not all of you…. Good luck with your strike I hope you get a fair contract…. Think about your friends and neighbors and what they make and then think about what you’re asking for….. most would be shocked

Ill predict the future for everybody. They will get a pay increase and instead of the CEO's etc taking a hit they will relay the price hike to vehicle prices which are already priced out of the middle class. My 19 sierra built today has gone up 9k for exact same truck.

Nobody can afford the cars they build.

Appreciate ya and proud of ya 900 brothers and sisters!

WE SUPPORT OUR WORKERS !

Wish I could join my brothers and sisters. But they have us working 12 hours 7 days a week.

Just wanted to give a shout out to my union brothers and sisters from a Teamster! Don’t back down!! Give’m Hell!!!

Its crazy that Body is not on strike in that plant. He sounds confused which is crazy to think about coming from the same plant. Hopefully it all works out.

We support you💪

Union Strong 💪

Only the rich can aford their vehicle.

Love seeing the energy and the motivation of my uaw brothers and sisters on the picket line! Local 2209 standing in solidarity!

Stay strong WE ARE WITH YALL 💪 💪 💪

Just when the workers of the Big Three are producing great products, they go on strike. Absolutely crazy!

Union 182, worked at Michigan Assembly for 25years before transferring to Livonia transmission. I fully support my brothers and sisters, but I wish my man would have asked why we are having to fight for our original cola formula back that was given up on good faith why Jim are you trying to monkey with the formula? Why can’t they give a little to the retireees! As for the pension I’m torn, the new workers receive a 401k and Ford sets that up for them when they hire in and matches what they contribute. But they should receive a pension as well i mean damn these are Career jobs and career jobs come with pensions! People don’t realize either that the concessions we made in 2015 have effected us every single day since as we sink further and further back! It’s time to give back to the employees big three!

Meanwhile local 862 pres tells CNN we're shut down but actually worked overtime tonight

SOLIDARITY!!!!! Well spoken gentlemen 👏

Stay strong brothers.

Further America isnt a Country , its a Corporation.

Strike pay $500 a week. How many strikers and how big is the fund?

Held off from buying a new Ford until they get a new contract, IBEW support you

That's Right!

Your brothers and sisters from another mister at 2250 are out standing together with you all!!!!!

Solidarity local 862 Kentucky Truck ✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼

It hardly feels historic. Dearborn truck plant is ford's most profitable plant and UAW workers are still working without a contract at this very moment, allowing ford to continue to make profits.

With inflation we all should be demanding salary increases!!!!!

Good luck finding new jobs when they ship your jobs to Mexico. And everyone saying “we stand with unions” have fun paying $90k for a shitty ford focus

God bless America ❤

That's right!!!!!

All Stores Please Lower the price of all Military and Local for all Brands of Local UAW Strike Products and Accessories and Production Cost Now That's too much $$ The Whole World Now 🙏🙏🙏

You know automobiles will cost more now right 40% raise I'm sorry but that's absurd it's not like these guys make minimum wage they make decent money I Used to Know guys that worked at Ford and they had all the toys they had cottages and a lot of addiction issues the old saying goes the more money you make the more money you spend

These motor companies care more about GREED then to pay their workers a decent salary give them the raises they deserve they are the ones that are doing the hard labor , the CEO'S collecting millions of dollars a year off of their backs what a shame shame on them nothing but GREED.

Hell the American public needs to get in on this strike, the cost of these cars they produce is ridiculous.

Get back to work

I'd be all for them taking more union dues from me give to replenish those on strike

Teamsters stand with the UAW

Yes let's pay someone $50/hr to turn a screwdriver then complain about the $60,000 Jeep Wrangler!

40% raise and 40 hours for 32 hour week which is another pay increase of 1/5. So they are asking for almost 50% more pay.

My BIL works at Ford and he only makes $12 a hour well his sister works at Krogers starting $13 how the heck does that make sense?!?!?!?

Of course, their union president told them!! She would ask a question like that. Lol 😂 JK

Workers need to know their place…… Children are for owners

This is why the average new car costs $50,000 now...😂

Full support! 👊

UAW Strength in action!

There’s NO NEED FOR VIOLENCE

So people without degrees want more pay? Jobs that anybody can do?

Yea !! Lets give the workers their pay increase so that the only people that can afford a new vehicle are the people that work in the auto industry

I plant per company not a very strong move!!!!

Just so you know these workers are not escaping to get into my line of work.

The ones who weren't picked for strike doesn't get crap

Both sides don't get it. Workers will go broke before the companies really care. Workers need a class in business 101.

Well done. Stand strong!!!

I remember my first strike. BBQ`s and Frisbee throwing. Fun times.

Wow Ford you are sooo lucky these guys are going on strike. The reality in 2023 is normally if someone isnt happy with their pay they just leave. Maybe they'll do you the courtesy of calling to say they quit but usually they just ghost you. Going on strike means they still want the job and are willing to talk.

Funny thing is no one will be able afford new vehicles now they will just raise the prices

Fully support UAW - well done!

Seems to make some sense

Good for them

I STAND WITH THE UAW,JIM FARLEY AND CO DID NOT NEED A 40% RAISE AS MULTI MILLIONAIRES🤷‍♂️

Solidarity!! Billionaires should not exist!!

Can’t even afford the cars we build … best way to put it

what about people who make jets...they can't afford the jets they make. should everyone who produces a product be able to afford that product?

Learn something from Huawei. The funder of Huawei Renzhenfei only holds 0.75% of Huawei stocks and rest of 99.25% all goes to the employees. This is why Huawei employees are so innovated, empowered, hard working and united firmly under the US sanction. Because all the employees are coloctively the majority stock holders.

New offer? THE Union will be given moneys that equate to a 40% overall wage increase to all workers and they (union leaders) can do with it as they wish. Now lets see how fair the leaders will be to their members.

Mexico will take those jobs for $3.00 hr and Down South pplwill gladly take 15$-17$hr so keep playing with these car companies Fain already made his money and pension also retirement and yall gonna let him PLAY GAMES with y'all future better take that 20% and be GRACIOUS

We stand with uaw as a fellow Michigander

I would be working and not striking. These people are stupid doing this because they’re going to get fired sooner or later.

They aren't the only ones who help build these cars though...

Pay us ✊🏽

…and then they are only striking at a few plants so it will eventually shut down other plants and the supplier base so these fools can collect on the taxpayer by collecting unemployment. That’s dirty!

Assembly & paint can be done by robots....

Don’t be upset when your jobs are either fully automated or outsourced in the next 18 months.

Where's the link to help donate

Good luck everyone! Hope you get your retirement benefits back! Hope you get raises and a pension too!

Ford come south...toyota, nissan & bmw are in the southern us, no unions

STRIKE!!! A suggestion: they offer 20% OK GET IT, BUT THIS CONTRACT ONLY LAST FOR 1 SINGLE YEAR And every year start back. Just like IG METAL in Germany!

There should be a price stipulation on the cost of the cars being brought down inspite of worker wages going up. Take it out of CEO pockets.

Send them overseas

Solidarity ❤

Good luck to my UAW Local 900, body shop retiree
