[QUOTE="Kevin Lang, post: 957892, member: 65699"] Yes. I expect that the hourly workforce can perform basic math and realize that 12 million dollars distributed evenly to all of Ford's huge "common man" workforce is chump change. Last I heard Ford's hourly workforce was about 38,000 men in the USA. 12,000,000 / 38,000 = 315.79 (rounded) dollars. On the other hand, if all it takes to beat back the union Hun and placate "the masses" at Ford is a measly 315.79 dollars a year, that's worth the investment, especially with the effing union head threatening to tear down Ford. Knee-jerk reaction or not, that belligerent statement expressed his true sentiment. We can't dissolve the unions, and we can't negotiate with them (as seen here), so we have only one option, and that is to steal their thunder by placating their membership with this token payout, and spinning it as though the executives are taking a pay cut. The Atlas Shrugged movie can't come soon enough. [/QUOTE]
