"UAW Strike: Bill Ford's Roller Coaster Negotiations and the Dark Road Ahead for Labor"
William Clay Ford Jr., the executive chair of Ford Motor, discusses the ongoing labor negotiations with the United Automobile Workers union, emphasizing the importance of patience and not taking the negotiations personally. He believes that the real competition is not between the U.A.W. and Ford, but rather between the U.A.W. and other automakers like Toyota, Honda, Tesla, and Chinese automakers. Ford expresses concern about the impact of the strikes on the supply base and the national security implications of a prolonged strike. He also addresses the politicization of electric vehicles and the need for prices to come down to drive wider adoption.
