We have had a Jeep on order since June and it finally went to production yesterday. Guess it'll be a long wait. It was supposed to take 4-6 weeks from order date.

The workers are being taken advantage of, so it's clear that something needs to change. Just not sure Fain is budging on anything. 40% increase in pay and work week reduced from 40 to 32 hours seems a bit over the top to me. I totally agree with a lot of the other stuff, but it's not looking like the companies are going to give much there.

Scary what it will do to the already ridiculous price of new vehicles, the economy, etc. This is where corporate greed has led us.
