二 |     DETROIT -- The United Auto Workers union significantly escalated its walkout against Detroit's Three automakers, shutting down Ford's largest factory and threatening Jeep maker Stellantis.In a surprise move Wednesday night, 8,700 members left their jobs at Ford’s Kentucky truck plant in Louisville.And Thursday morning, union President Shawn Fain hinted at further action against Stellantis. “Here's to hoping talks at Stellantis today are more productive than Ford yesterday,” Fain wrote on X, formerly Twitter, without saying what might happen.Ford's truck plant makes heavy-duty F-Series pickup trucks and large Ford and Lincoln SUVs, hitting the company's most lucrative products. The vehicles made at the plant generate $25 billion per year in revenue, the company said in a statement.Fain said in a statement that the union has waited long enough “but Ford hasn’t gotten the message” to bargain for a fair contract. “If they can’t understand that after four weeks, the 8,700 workers shutting down this extremely profitable plant will help them understand it,” Fain said.The strike came nearly four weeks after the union began its walkouts against General Motors, Ford and Stellantis on Sept. 15, with one assembly plant from each company. The company, however, called the strike expansion “grossly irresponsible” and said it has made strong wage and benefit offers to the union. It said the move puts about a dozen other Ford facilities at risk, as well as parts supply plants that together employ over 100,000 people.A Ford executive said the union called a meeting at the company's Dearborn, Michigan, headquarters Wednesday afternoon where Fain asked if the company had another offer. High-ranking Ford executives responded that they are working on possibly bringing electric vehicle battery plants into the UAW national contract, essentially making them unionized. But they didn't have a significantly different economic offer, the executive said. Fain was told the company put a strong offer on the table, but there wasn't a lot of room to increase it and keep it affordable for the business, the executive said.Fain responded by saying, if that's the company's best offer, “You just lost Kentucky Truck Plant,” said the executive. The meeting only lasted about 15 minutes, he said. In a video, Fain said the union moved because Ford didn't change its offer. “We've been very patient working with the company on this,” he said. “They have not met expectations, they're not even coming to the table on it.”The escalation against Ford shows that Fain is trying to increase pressure on the company, said Marick Masters, a business professor at Wayne State University who follows labor issues.But Ford and the other automakers have made concessions and raised wage offers, he said. The companies, he said, “may have reached their resistance points to varying degrees.” Executives, he said, have bottom line positions they can’t cross in terms of staying competitive with other automakers.Fain, Masters said, likely is testing how far he needs to push Ford before going to “full throttle,” by taking all 57,000 Ford members out on strike.The union’s move doesn’t leave him optimistic for a quick end to the strikes, Masters said. “I think the issues that remain on the table are quite thorny,” he said, pointing to union demands that all workers get defined benefit pensions and health insurance when they retire.The UAW expanded its strikes on Sept. 22, adding 38 GM and Stellantis parts warehouses. Assembly plants from Ford and GM were added the week after that. The Kentucky strike brings to 33,700 the number of workers on strike against the three automakers.Thus far, the union has decided to target a small number of plants from each company rather than have all 146,000 UAW members at the automakers go on strike at the same time.Last week, the union reported progress in the talks and decided not to add any more plants. This came after GM agreed to bring joint-venture electric vehicle battery factories into the national master contract, almost assuring that the plants will be unionized.Battery plants are a major point of contention in the negotiations. The UAW wants those plants to be unionized to assure jobs and top wages for workers who will be displaced by the industry’s ongoing transition to electric vehicles.Since the start of the strike, the three Detroit automakers have laid off roughly 4,800 workers at factories that are not among the plants that have been hit by the UAW strikes.The companies say the strikes have forced them to impose those layoffs. They note that the job cuts have occurred mainly at factories that make parts for assembly plants that were closed by strikes.The UAW rejects that argument. It contends that the layoffs are unjustified and were imposed as part of the companies' pressure campaign to persuade UAW members to accept less in negotiations with automakers. The factories affected by layoffs are in six states: Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Kansas, Indiana and New York. Sam Fiorani, an analyst with AutoForecast Solutions, a consulting firm, said he thinks the layoffs reflect a simple reality: The automakers are losing money because of the strikes. By slowing or idling factories that are running below their capacities because of strike-related parts shortages, Fiorani said, the companies can mitigate further losses.“It doesn’t make sense to keep running at 30% or 40% of capacity when it normally runs at 100%,” he said. Striking workers are receiving $500 a week from the union’s strike pay fund. In some states, laid-off workers could qualify for state unemployment aid, which, depending on a variety of circumstances, could be less or more than $500 a week. Fiorani said that as the strikes widen, more workers will likely be laid off at non-striking plants. Separate companies that manufacture parts for the automakers are likely to have laid off workers but might not report them publicly, said Patrick Anderson, CEO of the Anderson Economic Group in Lansing, Michigan. A survey of parts supply companies by a trade association called MEMA Original Equipment Suppliers found that 30% of members have laid off workers and that more than 60% expect to start layoffs in mid-October.。         Advertise with us          有人发帖称马云一群人中午在陶波一家中餐馆吃饭,并晒出他们点餐的图片,网友都炸了……                    01          “马云来我店里吃饭”          昨晚,一名网友发帖:我的天,马云来我店里吃饭了,陶波。         来,上镇楼图          根据店主发帖的图片可以看出这是在陶波市中心靠湖的一家中餐馆。         四人中,一名戴白色棒球帽,身穿休闲装的男子,神态是有几分和马云相似。

三 |          这名店主表示,马云一群人点了红烧肉、番茄炖牛肉、牛肉面等菜:          (网帖称左边第一张是马云一群人点的餐)          店主还把他们坐的户外餐桌专门拍出来,并画了示意图,坐在这里可远眺陶波湖:          一帖激起千层浪,众多网友涌进评论。         一名网友称:前员工表示就是马总本人啦:          还有网友证实:有同学当时坐在马云边上一桌吃饭。         其他在陶波的网友,都开心得不行,发帖说要沾沾财运。         有网友说:真迎来财神爷了。         当然,有八卦的网友在问:有否保镖在身边。         店主还透露,他们一群人吃不完,还打包了。

四 |          还有网友好奇是他付钱吗?          理论上,如果马云真出现,现场应该会“躁动起来”,会有很多人求拍合影。

五 |          但是除了一张监控照片外,没有其他照片,于是怀疑是不是店主编造。         店主则解释:          据称坐在马云另一桌的网友也表示:服务员问了能否拍照,但被拒绝,所以他们也没有拍。         今天上午,先驱酱联系了店主,但对方表示不接受采访。         所以这事也不知道真假(马云要是有看到了,吱个声啊:)。                   02          马云曾两次春节来纽          不管真假,许多网友已四舍五入约等于马云今年来新西兰过年了。         这也不是马云第一次被传春节在新西兰过年。         早在2015年,也是春节期间,被传在奥克兰北岸买房的孙红雷,当时在微博上发了一张图片:马云和几位大佬在奥克兰海港的游轮上          到了2018年2月,还是在春节时期,马云又来新西兰。         这次公开报道是他去察看投资项目——新西兰乳制品业。当时阿里巴巴收购了纽仕兰新云(Theland New Cloud)57%的股份。

六 |          马云去了农场后,还不忘体验一把挤奶工。         连着几年的春节,马云都来新西兰。今年春节再来新西兰,也确实令人相信这不是传闻。         而马云最近一次与新西兰发生关系的官方报道,是在2020年3月。         那时新西兰疫情刚爆发,准备封国前,时任总理Jacinda Ardern与马云打了一通电话,并交谈了半个小时。         虽然对话内容没有公开,但有谈到新西兰的抗疫举措,特别聊到了个人防护装备(PPE)。         随后,2020年4月,新西兰正处于疫情高峰期时,阿里巴巴向新西兰捐赠了163,000套PPE,包括30万个口罩。

七 |          时任总理发言人当时表示:“这些赠送的PPE非常有帮助,尤其是在供应链扩大的初期,我们对此表示感谢。

八 | ”                    03          马云投资传闻          也有网友指出,上个月,我们刚报道了马云的接棒人陆兆禧在奥克兰西区买农场,投资建高尔夫球场和度假酒店(←点击左边蓝字可看详细报道)他会不会有参与呢?          也有网友问,这次马云为何会去陶波?据说是有投资在这里,这次带一家子来度假:          据传,早在2016年4月时,马云与时任总理John Key签署战略合作协议。

九 | 在这个场合上,马云第一次公开表示有意在新西兰买房置业。         他说阿里巴巴已经有至少20位员工选择提前退休在新西兰养老,而他自己也想在新西兰买套房。         不知道这几年          他买了没有          原文链接          相关阅读:          惊爆!马云接棒人在奥克兰买农场!北岸有多套房产!正投建高尔夫球场和豪华酒店……          马云现身澳大利亚          注:本文为编译/原创,欢迎转发分享;但严禁复制等未经授权的非法使用。违反上述声明者,本网将追究其相关法律责任。使用授权请联系[email protected]。         chineseherald.co.nz All Rights Reserved 版权所有          (责编:twinkle)          来源 - 先驱自媒          相关内容                奥克兰机场员工协助运毒,20公斤冰毒险些流入市场!           奥克兰东区治安事件:一女子闯入餐厅,向人群挥舞菜刀           Woolworths再曝食品卫生问题,顾客称很恶心:“太脏了!”           国家党支持率领先优势扩大,新政府获认可,但仍存在关键问题           政府今年将节省开支大举减税,有多少公务员会被裁?           基督城大火控制了70%,房屋被烧毁,近百名消防员彻夜轮班           《2024年国情报告》发布,新西兰面临两个重大问题           乘火车难有望解决!奥克兰市长召开联合会议,发布9点计划。
