Comment on Ford lays off 600 workers at plant targeted by UAW strike

Not defending Ford here. But when this all gets ironed out we need to be supporting union workers by choosing union made products and services. Those that are saying they won’t buy a Ford now, that’s your choice, but I hope you’re doing your research and choosing other automobiles that are union instead. Here is a 2023 list of all the UAW built vehicles: uaw.org/solidarity_magazine/…/amp/

Is it bad that I would rather buy a vehicle from the 90’s because it doesn’t have all this bs in it that 1. makes it harder to repair myself and 2. Just feels weird to drive (mainly talking the fly by wire style that modern cars are using, I want to feel the feedback on my gas pedal).

No, it’s definitely not bad to think that.

No, I like old cars too for the same reasons

Yeah I wanted a Chevy bolt because that’s the union made electric compact. I won’t buy a struck vehicle but I’ll never buy a non union new vehicle if I can help it. Purchasing non union products is the same as purchasing products from companies retaliating against a union, the only difference is the retaliators haven’t won yet.
