When the UAW and Ford reached a tentative agreement in late February, rank-and-file auto workers poured over the new language, finding changes to break time, paid holidays, wage cuts, and skilled trades jobs that seemed more about weakening the union than fixing the limping industry. Read below for a draft statement from auto workers encouraging General Motors and Chrysler workers to vote no on their impending agreements. A link to the tentative agreement is available by clicking here.
