幹完通用汽車，再幹福特，美國工會很給力啊_風聞

  由於工作原因，早上讀了篇汽車製造業相關的報道，大概因為通用的前車之鑑，UAW(聯合汽車工會/United Automobile Workers）輕取福特。如此玩下去，美國這幾家汽車廠，估計又要重現2008年的盛況了。

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.

翻譯如下：

    大約55000UAW(聯合汽車工會/United Automobile Workers）成員在本週五（11月15）批准了一項 與福特汽車為期4年的勞動合同，新協議將允許福特關閉位於密歇根州的發動機工廠，但是條件是要加薪，提供數千個新工作，並且要在美國進行60億美元製造業方面的投資。

    有福特的合同在手，工會就可以馬上開始對付下一個底特律三巨頭之一，菲亞特克萊斯勒，然後在今年內達成新的協議。

    工會説新協議將帶來56.4%的利潤。工會代理總裁羅裏.甘布勒（Gamble,也是賭博的意思，從姓氏看難道是祖傳技能？確實在賭），同時也是工會福特事務部的負責人，在一份聲明裏説：每一個福特正式僱員和臨時工在這個四年期的合同結束後，都將處於最好的全職狀態，這對於很多人來説是改變人生的合同，同時也微所有未來的福特工會成員提供了一個樣板，以後都不會有永久的零時工，也沒有固化的階層分別。

    福特總裁，喬.辛裏奇(又叫韓瑞麒），在一份聲明裏説：我們很高興（心裏MMP吧)能與工會在沒有對我們的生產工作造成損失的情況下快速達成協議，這份協議將幫助進一步提升競爭力（真的嗎？），進一步保護高收入的製造業工作。與工會合作，給我們的運營增加了彈性，讓勞動力成本與美國製造業勞動力成本的膨脹保持一致，同時也是對我們的工人的付出的獎勵。

    福特説在第四季度將耗費70億美元（700 million)與本協議相關的費用，大部分都是（所謂的）批准獎金。
