So is this strike really happening? If not, i'm content with talking about more plywood, but I don't want to get us off topic.

The union is increasing weekly withholding amounts from $50 to $250 in preparation for strike in January. It increases their bargaining position if they have funds to carry strikers for 30 days. It will affect over 100k UAW members and not just FCA, also includes Ford, GM, and others.

are they increasing witholding from the employees as like a "strike savings account"?

I once belonged to the grocers union. They took my money out of my paycheck and did nothing for me - a 16 year old working a part-time job at $5/hour can't afford to lose 2 hours of pay each week. Too bad there wasn't a Right to Work option in the 90's.

Update. JT is going to critical launch.
80 Units were built yesterday on 1st shift, all white Rubicons . All were built for the Government. So for all who doubted me, **** it.

Unfortunately no, I didn't put my transfer in to go to the JT side. They closed the transfer process in January. Won't open again until JT is out of launch phase

For those that are curious.
JT cycle time will be around 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
JL cycle time is around 53 seconds
JK use to run at 1 minute and 10 seconds

No mention of 60,000 order. No mention of verified 7,000 order that you stated Jeep tossed in the trash can. No mention of any government order. No JT's on dealers lots.

That's how long a new vehicle is rolling off the line

JT is super slow. I have a feeling they are going to try to speed it up.
