New F150 gets 15/City 20/HWY I think. and it has more Horse Power.
Thats the same as my 1998 Honda Passport V6. Ford is stepping up but they waited way too long as did other american companies. Japan has been in the game since the 70's with their better Economy cars.....

considering my summer job is union, my dads job is union, and my brothers job is union, i'd say i know exactly what a union does. the only way i would not work union is if i was working for myself (which is what i do down here in the wintertimes), employers in right to work states hold all the cards, and they can (and will, and do) pay dirt wages and treat workers like shit. it seems to me like most of the people with something bad to say about unions, are not union workers, which is not a coincidence.

+1 unions are a big part, but arent the sole cause, of the problems the B3 are facing. How do factory line workers get paid 6 figures to install doors? Unions. I can't find the article on it, but the unions have the b3 so by the balls, they can hardly fire anyone, so there's guys sitting around watching tv and reading magazines while getting paid to do "their job".
Dec 2 is judgment day for the B3

Unions' to me are a very good and helpful cause in keeping your job, making sure you have health insurance, dental, 401K, Nice retirement plan, get good raises, But since this economy has been on the downfall since 2004, They are a big part of the mess up in the economy " IMO "

I understand what unions were created for, and for those reasons they are fine. However, the unions (in this case) have too much power. This is why there are factory line workers making 100k + to bolt on doors (a very medial task to be sure).
