Many of the concessions sought by Ford from 4,800 union workers at the Chamberlain Lane plant resembles one passed last March by UAW members at the Louisville Assembly Plant on Fern Valley Road. Similar deals have also been approved by most of Ford's North American plants in the last 18 months as the troubled automaker seeks to pare costs.
“It is a changing world and we have got to accept these changes. We have got to do this to have a future,” United Auto Workers Local 862 president Rocky Comito said this morning.
