Ford’s most advanced assembly plant
The video explains how Ford has created a new, innovative manufacturing plant that streamlines production and makes operations much more efficient. They can make 5 different types of vehicles at this plant. It does this by allowing Ford suppliers to be integrated into the assembly line process. So the suppliers making the seats, the dashboards, the fuel systems … they have assembly lines right inside the Ford factory. Makes sense, rather than relying on shipments of parts. No waiting. No shipment costs or delays.
Oh but there is one thing I forgot to tell you. This Ford plant is in Brazil.
And do you know why it is in Brazil? Unions. The UAW is opposed to this type of innovative manufacturing. They are opposed to innovation that would actually help their employer because they stand the risk of losing jobs. And if they lose jobs, they lose power.

I have a t-shirt that reads, “Stop Union Greed”. Strange how the bastard continue to bite the hand that feeds, but are more than happy to stab their feeder and run off with the bailout at the turn of a hat.
