Oh no! Pay your workers more maybe?
Just to put a number on it, the UAW cost increase is around $1000 per vehicle.
Ed: apologizes for the delay in the source. Here's a gift article from the nytimes Please un-downvote now, thanks
But I still can't vouch for the veracity of the claim. Mr. Lawler is Ford CFO.
"Mr. Lawler said on a conference call that the contract would raise the company’s labor costs by an average of $850 to $900 per vehicle."

Can you provide a source for that?
Edit: Appreciate it!
