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."

It would be very illegal for them to continually keep these plans around as a strike response.

Not as a strike response. I'm saying they likely had recent plans to just lay people off for financial reasons and the strike became an excuse to blame that on.
