FitGD4 is an unknown quantity at this point
yes I watched through the whole video. UAW (in my opinion) wants a fair wage for the working man/women in the states, which is one of the main purposes for a union. It would seem that because Ford (being a business) wants to make as much money as possible decides that they want to place their biggest factory in Brazil. Thus there is no union, no labor laws and therefore they can pay their employee's peanuts. That is one of the reasons that most industries in the United States have moved to various other countries. Which is the reason that the ol' mighty dollar is not worth as much as it use to be. In a way the UAW does not suck. Some people may not agee with me that unions are a good thing. But in actuality they are beneficial when it comes to fair wages and benefits. I just found it interesting that their biggest factory is in Brazil and the blame is placed on the UAW. As for Toyota, they are unionized!! I had a girlfriend that worked for the factory in Ontario, Ca and she was paid well!!
