Dealers

A hint to the UAW that they don't have the power they think they do:

The dealerships are not screaming for the strike to end.

The average dealer has too much inventory and this strike has meant they don't have to accept new inventory they are having trouble moving.

The threat of shutting down plants that make parts and that affecting warranty servicing is being answered with, "we're still waiting on transmission solenoids from before the strike, how is this different?"

Dorman doesn't use union labor and their solenoids appear to be working where the union made OEM part is failing under warranty...  To the point that Ford approved the use of Dorman for warranty repairs before the strike.

The average person never hears these stories.

If you're wrenching on your own car, you do.

      I know it's a long slog to get down to the end... but... "To the point that Ford approved the use of Dorman for warranty repairs before the strike."
