Totally know where you're coming from.. Father put in 36 years in skilled trades with GM... So many people don't understand what these jobs mean to the cities, communities, and family's.

Sorry for your loss, Auto Work is grueling, we pay the price with our bodies over the years...

We need more entrepreneurs in America. I walked away from my job at 34. As a man, I just couldn't have a job dictate my life. A wife and 4 kids, even at UAW max, 34 per hr ain't enough. I need it ALL. No slices outta my pie

God bless his soul. May he rest in Glory. The job is hard emotionally and physically on purpose

Gotta have multiple irons in the fire. 👍🏼👍🏼. Gettn it all and more.

Nice 👍

Having a trade which doesn't confine ones expertise to an assembly line might also be of extreme benefit. Strike long, strike hard, but like it or not, buggy whips and horseless carriags aren't in demand anymore.

@@craighermle7727 I'm sorry, did we invent teleportation in the last few days? Cars are still very much in demand.

@@Cajaquarius Yeah, but what's being build and how it's being built is changing dramatically, If one company can build a product say in 1 hr ( arbitrary time) using 10 people, and company y requres 20 peeple and 2 hrs to generate their product, company y is probalby going have problem competing, that is of couse, if it isn't subsidised by government bailouts.

@@craighermle7727and don't forget the $3 billion Telsa gets in government subsidies (ie Taxpayers money). We're you just focusing on the big 3 or were you going to mention Telsa? You see, billions in free money and paying your workers a fast food wage allows you to be extremely profitable. I'm not even a genius and know that. I don't even want a Tesla but my tax dollars still go to his (bailout), I'm sorry subsidies.🙄

Car manufacturers isnt profitable

We appreciate your support!!

Good to know others realize the value of organized labor. You're the type of manager that we wish these companies were made of. Thank you for your support and good luck to you and the union labor strikers.

So, when the cost is passed on to the consumer will you support the unions by buying a new Big3 car thats more expensive than a Toyota?

@youtubesucks1499 Yes, as soon as the strike ends, I'll reorder the truck I wanted to buy. I could have already gotten a Tacoma cheaper. I went with the Colorado for reasons other than just total cost. You know, like an actual consumer. Not a pretend consumer that internet economists hide behind, so they don't have to admit they are anti organized labor. I have no problem supporting union products even if they are more expensive. I buy union whenever possible. I have a brother in the IAFF local 858 and another in IAFF local 1309. My family has several USWA union members. I know what I'm supporting, and I know what unions do for their communities.

​​@@youtubesucks1499what? No rebuttal for our union supporting manager, yousuck? I mean youtubesucks...just another trolling chump.

Finally for someone who sees it. All of comments are calling the workers greedy and blaming them for the cost of vehicles. People must have forgot these unions striking is how we got to a 40 hour work week, vacation etc.

Blame on Elon. The major money went to ev car development. And stock buy back.

@@lung21 So... We blame their competitors for making a better product? That sounds like bad company management to me, plain and simple. It was no secret electric was coming, the big 3 just thought they could ignore it for another decade.

@@patton3338 I just tell u what will happen. This is also what is happening on other car maker. They are all catching up with Tesla. So all car maker has management issue ? The problem for uaw will big it worse. You guys will speed up big 3 to automatic the production process. serious, the ev is not simple. The battery management , The new transmission even the tire is not the same. Everything need to redesign. Do you think u can buy a Tesla to copy it? This is the reason only Tesla has the ev car with less issue. And you really want the modern management? Do you know what is pip? Personal improve plan. They keep firing the employees with lower performance. And Tesla has fully automatic plant which only need 20-30% of ppl compared to big 3. Gl

@@lung21 Well yes, manufacturing will continue to get more automated over time, that is inevitable. Whether or not it replaces people entirely? Thats for us to decide actually, and who we vote for. Its just another worker protection at the end of the day. It wont be an easy road, but this dystopian vision of a world where everything is made by robots, and noone has a job, will not be reality. Who would buy their crap if noone has a job?

Shut up with that old BS. Democrat Union Thugs.

Well said! ✊🏼

We appreciate you

What a cuckold.

So you think the average factory worker should make 320k annually? That's what they are asking for. Will you buy a Big3 vehicle if the cost is passed on to the consumer? Will you buy a brand new American made car? I own 2 Toyotas. I will never buy a shitty overpriced American car. Why? The value isn't there. Do you think the average factory worker should be paid as much as a doctor?

​@@youtubesucks1499Have you even took a glance at our contract? No. Where did you get your numbers? I've worked for one of the big 3 for 2 years now. I make $17 an hour. Get your facts right.

​@@youtubesucks1499You are just believing the headlines. I work 40 hours per week because my plant offers no OT. I don't even gross 70k per year for backbreaking work for 10 hour shifts. Don't believe the media lies and quit spreading fake news.

your toyota is more american than most "american" cars. kindly stfu because you dont know what youre even talking about @@youtubesucks1499

Unions do nothing expept promote mediocrity. GM and Ford are really good examples

​@@craighermle7727your mom was mediocre, I kicked her to the curb...

@@craighermle7727 Union members build vehicles they know their mom, dad, brother, uncle, neighbor, and grandkids are going to be driving. They want those cars to be safe and high quality. C-level executives aren't worried about driving the vehicles us ordinary people drive. They don't even need to drive, because they can afford to be chauffeured around. So, who has an incentive to build high quality products? Obviously, the union members. And, who has an incentive to build products that break down and drive people back to OEM parts? Obviously management.

@@followerofjesuschrist. I am a believer in Jesus. It's not a good testimony to try to hijack a discussion about union activity to force some Scriptures down people's throats. What would be a good testimony would be to go and give some food and water to the men and women on the picket line.

Thank you.

Greedy bosses? The average American can work in a factory. The average American can't become an engineer and design cars. The average American can't be a CEO because they don't have the talent. Why is it greed? Would you pay me 22 million to successfully manage a 2 billion dollar corporation?

We appreciate you

​@firecrotchrighthere2982 go get a real job looser. Unions are garbage

How about the 90% of thf population that is struggling while the union thinks its entitled

​@@SuzyEHSuzy, a guy who puts tires on a car should earn 320k annually?

Well, what the plan when the cost is passed on to the consumer? What's the plan when the Big3 realizes its cheaper to manufacture in Mexico? What's the plan when investors decide to sell their stocks and look for a better investment?

If they do the american auto industry will be finished .

Except they don't.

The average American doesn't have what it takes to be a CEO. That's like saying every ball player is LaBron James. Lol. Of course a CEO should be based on performance. Would you pay me 22 million to successfully run you 2 billion dollar corporation?

We the People will leave their products on the showroom floor because we will be priced out of their brand. A 320k annual salary for a guy who puts tires on a car? Buying Toyota. It's a better made product, retains its value and pays its factory workers 24-42 an hour. You think the cost won't be passed on to the consumer?

​@@youtubesucks1499Where do you get $320k? Production workers make around $110k in good times.

@@dannydaw59 Danny, they are asking for a *total compensation* package worth 320k per factory worker. They want pensions with a 6.5% company match, work 32 hours a week and get paid for 40. They don't want any plants to close as B3 transitions to EV. They want job security. Their demands are ridiculous. A 40% pay increase over 3 years is insane. It will absolutely bankrupt the company. Will the people who support this strike trade in their cars and buy a brand new American made car? If the answer is no, I can't afford it... what do you think car prices will be when the cost of labor is passed on to the consumer?

​​@youtubesucks1499 prices going up without wage increases anyway. 200% past 2 decades. People just now seeing they can no longer just go buy a new car. They have been going up slowly for years without wages going up. The workers making them can no longer afford them average Americans can no longer afford them. Along with everything else middle and low class America is being priced out of goods. Because wages are not going up but prices are or the profits of the 1%

You are a joke

And a lot of us will never forgive.

Unions don’t care about the people they say they represent. The high demands usually end of catastrophic for everyone. What stands in the way of the US being the best educated country - the teachers union.

Completely flawed and no evidence provided but let's project that logic; the reason we have a poor policing outcomes is because of the police unions? It is interesting that all these people who hate unions otherwise, somehow accep the police unions. Cons love to bust up unions except the police and firefighters unions.
