The UAW is disseminating a message of hope on its YouTube channel, letting the members know the negotiations are going to be rosey, everyone is getting a pony, and you absolutely totally shouldn’t question their ability to negotiate better contracts.
(Also, the UAW has a YouTube channel. I guess it’s a lot cheaper than inviting members out to a golf course to let them know what’s going on.)
The video uses some incredibly strong, forceful language to let the members know that the negotiators mean business.
“The message is we’re working really hard, working really hard for them. Understood, this isn’t a contract year of concession. It’s really, truly just the opposite, and that’s exactly how we see it,” said Romeo Torres of Local 509.
Other quotable moments include:
“Just have the confidence in your negotiators. They’ll do a fine job for you.”
“I think the members should be realistic about this contract.”
“We’re going to try to get the best contract we can get.”
“I really, truly believe this is going to be a great agreement…hopefully.”
Sizzling stuff, there.
Your UAW Ford negotiators, everyone!
