The absolutely beautiful reason that I can tell that they still aren't agreeing to Fords concessions is because they in solidarity with new workers that don't even exist yet, are demanding that Fords new battery plants they are building be placed under the same labor agreement they are fighting for.

"The UAW, according to Ford officials, has taken a hard line on requiring the company’s four new battery plants be placed under the terms of the labor agreement."

"If there was hope, it must lie in the Proles, because only there, in those swarming disregarded masses, eighty-five percent of the population of Oceania, could the force to destroy the Party ever be generated."

Context? I'm not familiar with the quote.

Please go read 1984.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'm familiar with Orwell and read Animal farm in school, but hadn't read 1984 yet.

It’s a quote from the book 1984 by George Orwell
