The Spin
Left narrative
Ford, which had previously claimed to have more to offer in the negotiations, presented a new counter-offer that was similar to previous packages. As a sign that auto workers were fed up with these empty promises, 8.7K employees justifiably walked out of the Ford plant in question.
Right narrative
The well-paid UAW leadership doesn't care about auto workers' interests. The union aims to create operational chaos to inflict the worst punishment possible on the Big Three, even if that means rejecting a record contract offer and requiring the rank and file to experience a considerable drop in pay or layoffs amid a nationwide inflation crisis.
