SummaryThis past 12th of September, 2005, Ford’s labor agreement with the Canadian Auto Workers Union (CAW) reached its three-year expiration date, and was remade and renewed after negotiations between the two parties. Talks focused on questions of wages, benefits, retirement plans, and other economic issues, as well as possible downsizing and job cuts. The finalized agreement for Ford employees includes minor wage increases as well as 1,100 layoffs in the next three years. In this agreement also, Ford and CAW set the precedent for the next big three auto companies’ – Ford, General Motors, and DaimlerChrysler – upcoming negotiations. Following industry standards, it is very likely that the next two companies will finalize very similar deals with CAW. After an overview of Marx’s theories and works, we will discuss what he himself - were he alive today – might have to say about this labor deal.
