"Up to" is doing a lot of work in that sentence.

Honestly, it seems to me that it's "undoing" a lot of work.

Labor Rate at dealerships around me are over $200/h. Granted the mechanic doesn't get 100% of that but 200 * 52 * 8 is nearly 600k. It seems like you could go somewhere else and get the same amount of money as Ford (or more) and don't need to worry about future salary increases not occurring.
