Looks like a strike for Auto workers is likely in Fall.

They want UAW to earn up to $50/hr. Lol, there are so many jobs out there that require education and years of training that make less than that.

Fire them all and replace with migrant workers coming over the border. Or better yet, close all of the plants and make everything in Mexico and El Salvador. Kill two birds with one stone by reducing labor costs and giving jobs to central Americans who need to get out of poverty that drives them to come here in the first place.

First ups drivers get $170k. Now UAW workers get $100k. What's next, giving the secretary in the office $150k? Yeah, kiss prices good buy with skyrocketing inflation. Can't wait until burgers cost $72 and you need to make $1M per year just to live a middle class life.

While we’re at it, let’s bring in cheaper doctors from the Caribbean med schools.

Not carribean but you could easily take pretty much every British doctor and move them here tomorrow if you let them practice without having to redo residency.

🇬🇧 docs are insanely poorly paid so a ton are leaving.

Yes, there is a trade off for not having to force people to take on a half million in debt for training, and that tends to be lower salaries. If doctors start fleeing Britain in droves, expect the low cost training opportunities to disappear, or for repayment to be conditioned on decades of service (like here). You don’t just get that kind of training for free and then the opportunity to make astronomical money in private practice.

Practicing medicine requires an education, dimwit. That's not the case for UAW or UPS drivers now earning outrageous compensation.

Perfect retort from the urban elite

Oblivious to their bias and value judgement that educated people earning high salaries is appropriate age but uneducated people earning high salaries is outrageous

Let’s import millions more , to add to the 4,000,000 illegal aliens and the 800,000 legal immigration pushed by democrats.

Screw those low wage US citizens , I mean deplorables

Tell the GOP time to sit down and act like adults instead of whipping up anti-immigrant hysteria while letting businesses profit mightily and depress the wages and workers’ rights of American workers.

And i love how pickled Republicans’ brains are. When’s the last time any of you supported a union? Higher wages? Employee protections? OSHA? I’ll tell you: never.

In the time of mass layoff of tech workers, has Biden done anything to protect American’s jobs?

Trump at least did a few things:
1. Buy American, hire American executive order.
2. Pause immigration and work visa from overseas.
3. Crack down HXXXB abuse and asylum EAD abuse.
4. Crack down illegal immigration.
5. A few plans to pause stem OXXT, H4 EAD etc.

And that’s when the jobs markets were good.

Now there is barely any tech job left on the market, and Biden seems to have done nothing other than:
1. Lower the bar for NIW and EB1 green card.
2. Encourage laid off aliens to stay at US as long as possible by providing one year EAD.
3. PP for H4 EAD.
4. EAD for frivolous and fraudulent asylum claims.
5. No scrutiny for HXXXB or L1 application.
6. Mass green card issuance from oversea embassies.

I was a democrat before but from now on I will only vote for republicans. Even though Trump has done many bad things, at least he did something to protect Americans livelihoods.

Hmm. The Caribbean docs are educated, as are the ones from South Africa, Argentina, and Britain, yet we require them to redo residency as the pp pointed out, you dimwit.

American doctors, while supposedly better educated, are replaceable with cheaper labor and automation/AI. The day is coming.

Because the US has to make sure doctors coming from abroad didn't get a MD degree from Podunk you from the temple of Shangri-La, dimwit.

You haven’t paid attention.

Biden has a much more effective Buy American policy, more effective because he actually knows how to use the government to implement policy whereas Trump had an EO but no functional policy or administration.

One example is the CHIPS Act:

I’m a liberal and support a strike. The average American worker has struggled for too long. CEO have historically got all the gains from the workers’ productivity. Now that we have declining demographics, I think we will see more strikes. Labor unions are long over due for wins that serve the average worker.

Omg this all the way! Biden is actually making things better for the average hardworking American. It’s about time! Trump is all talk, no action.

Somewhat agree though many union leaders are more about themselves versus the people the represent. There is disfunction in the unions too. Also, pensions are great except they require too many younger workers to prop up one retiree. The traditional ways of thinking inside and outside the unions needs to change.

Young workers with skills don't fight things. They simply go right to surrender and offshore themselves.

America is in decline. If you don't see it, you don't see it.

I've been saying this for some time. Unions helped put steel out of business here. Not the only cause, but striking at the wrong times did not help.

Look at the Teachers' Union. Do you really think Randi Weingarten cares about kids or teachers? No. She cares about her union and its cronies.

Auto Unions did this many years ago in destroying Midwestern cities. I have no sympathy and in no way support these clowns. If they want to put the last nail in the coffin of US automakers so be it.

Grandparents had a small inexpensive clothing store near a steel mill. Strikes were awful for everyone. Eventually, put the steel industry out of business in that town.

Steel mills closed across the US because (1) cheap foreign steel, and (2) American mills became obsolete when newer mini-mills came around. In a ten year period, US Steel shuttered over half of its mills. You can blame the union, but there is a limit to how low people will go on pay for a job like that.

The MAGAs want manufacturing in America, right? It's time that they learn that this is what you get when you want manufacturing in America. Factory workers want to get paid $50 per hour and will fight and strike for it.

Agree. But, unions were part of the problem. How did it work out for them?
