干完通用汽车，再干福特，美国工会很给力啊_风闻

  由于工作原因，早上读了篇汽车制造业相关的报道，大概因为通用的前车之鉴，UAW(联合汽车工会/United Automobile Workers）轻取福特。如此玩下去，美国这几家汽车厂，估计又要重现2008年的盛况了。

部分原文如下：

DETROIT — Roughly 55,000 UAW members at Ford Motor Co. on Friday ratified a new four-year labor contract that allows the automaker to close a Michigan engine plant but provides for raises, thousands of new jobs and more than $6 billion in U.S. manufacturing investment.

With a Ford deal in hand, union officials can now move on to Fiat Chrysler, the last of the Detroit 3 to finalize a contract this year.

The UAW said the deal passed with a 56.3 percent margin. 

“Every Ford employee and temporary employee will be at the top-rate for full-time status at the end of this four-year agreement,” Acting UAW President Rory Gamble, who is Director of the UAW Ford Department, said in a statement. “This is a life changing contract for many and provides a template for all future Ford UAW members to a full-time, top-rate status. There will be no more permanent temporary situations and no more permanent tiers.”

Joe Hinrichs, Ford’s president, Automotive, said in a statement: “We are pleased that we were able to reach an agreement quickly with the UAW without a  costly disruption to production. This deal  helps Ford enhance our competitiveness and protect good-paying manufacturing jobs.

“Working  with the UAW, we have added flexibility to our operations while keeping labor costs in line with projected U.S. manufacturing labor inflation costs and still rewarded our workers for their important contributions to the company.”

Ford said it will take a $700 million charge in the fourth quarter related to the new agreement, mostly due to the ratification bonus.

    大约55000UAW(联合汽车工会/United Automobile Workers）成员在本周五（11月15）批准了一项 与福特汽车为期4年的劳动合同，新协议将允许福特关闭位于密歇根州的发动机工厂，但是条件是要加薪，提供数千个新工作，并且要在美国进行60亿美元制造业方面的投资。

    有福特的合同在手，工会就可以马上开始对付下一个底特律三巨头之一，菲亚特克莱斯勒，然后在今年内达成新的协议。

    工会说新协议将带来56.4%的利润。工会代理总裁罗里.甘布勒（Gamble,也是赌博的意思，从姓氏看难道是祖传技能？确实在赌），同时也是工会福特事务部的负责人，在一份声明里说：每一个福特正式雇员和临时工在这个四年期的合同结束后，都将处于最好的全职状态，这对于很多人来说是改变人生的合同，同时也微所有未来的福特工会成员提供了一个样板，以后都不会有永久的零时工，也没有固化的阶层分别。

    福特总裁，乔.辛里奇(又叫韩瑞麒），在一份声明里说：我们很高兴（心里MMP吧)能与工会在没有对我们的生产工作造成损失的情况下快速达成协议，这份协议将帮助进一步提升竞争力（真的吗？），进一步保护高收入的制造业工作。与工会合作，给我们的运营增加了弹性，让劳动力成本与美国制造业劳动力成本的膨胀保持一致，同时也是对我们的工人的付出的奖励。

    福特说在第四季度将耗费70亿美元（700 million)与本协议相关的费用，大部分都是（所谓的）批准奖金。
