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.

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.

All the big manufacturing companies did it to themselves. For years they agreed to defined benefit pension and retiree health benefits in lieu of larger wage increases because they assumed they would always dominate their sectors. They thought they were so clever agreeing to deferred obligations.

The opposite is true. The decline of unions has had terrible effects for all working people. Destroying labor is Reagan’s biggest legacy.

how long will it be until Democrats and urban elites condemn the auto workers for the audacity of asking for a raise?

“This is our time to take back what we are owed. Working together with the companies doesn’t work for us,” Fain said Friday in a live stream update to members. “The only way the working class advances is if we stand together … the only way we’re ever going to have a better quality of life for ourselves and our families is if we fight for it.”

Wait, wait…you think the Democrats are the union busting people? I mean I think the Elites (whether GOP or Dem) are not pro union. It’s not about GOP vs Dem. It’s 1% vs everyone else. But it cracks me up that the GOP has convinced working class Americans that they are for the little man. How can so many people fall for it?

Unfortunately for you, this is a free country and workers are free to unionize.

Ford is losing an average of $60,000 on every EV it produces.

This doesn't go on for too long before they are out of business.

Just curious where you got this number.I don’t doubt it but would like to know.

It seems most of the manufacturers making this switch like the germans are losing boatloads right now in the expectation of a massive wave of consumer adoption. Im not seeing it. My next car will be a manual M4. Maybe i’ll buy electric in my old age 25 years from now.

With All the union bashing, why is the following OK?

GM CEO Mary Barra compensation - $29M

Toyota CEO Akio Toyota compensation - $6M

Is Mary Barra really worth $26M more?

The UAW has rejected the paltry wage offers of the US auto corporations. A strike is increasingly looking likely.

Mary barra is a grifter and gets paid only because she’s one of the few women who are f500 ceos

Her performance as ceo is horrible

-10% share price since she took over 9 years ago

That’s pathetic

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.

Weird how we never heard you say a damn thing about outrageous compensation for CEOs, corporate boards, et cetera and how that has also contributed to inflation... Since 1978, CEO compensation went up by 1460% as compared to just 20% for worker compensation, despite the CEOs of 2020 really not being all that much more qualified, deserving or productive than the CEOs of decades ago.
