You know they don’t want to ruffle those feathers.

your pay is driven by your value created, not others. A robot can do a UAW members work.

Do you work in robotics?

@@kevinulises9783 that would destroy so many jobs

Government are not the only ones increasing prices.

Yea I agree 100 percent, I was ready to go on a long strike but somehow the last 2 contracts passed 51-49. The only thing I can tell you about legacy workers is will be in charge of their contracts when they retire.

your pay is driven by your value created, not others. Just like you wouldn't pay a kid $100 to mow your lawn. UAW: U Ain’t working

@@kevinulises9783 you clearly need to read about the history of auto workers wages and how they affect ALL of manufacturing There are far more than just one factor that determines wages. Your statement lacks depth

​​​@@kevinulises9783Your lawnmower analogy doesn't fit the context that you're comparing it to. UAW workers are doing the work that makes the company wealthy. So to make your analogy fit it would be like me going outside to not only help that kid mow my own lawn, but also do MOST of the work then pay him as if he did ALL of the work by himself..Think about it.

@@tonyorob the analogy was in regards of their wage, UAW workers are unskilled, inefficient and low performing workers who want a big fat pay check with the least amount of effort required.

So are you just posting this on all videos relevant to this topic?

@@ZacBeansyeah because it’s relevant! Wake up, and put the corporate kool aid down.

Why should my workers make what I make or anywhere near it? I'm the one to build my company. They get extremely fair wage for the little screw. They put in a whole all day long. Skilled trade stops after the first fifteen minutes

@@dougalsip556 I run my own business, and am profitable, and pay my designers well. Nothing short of $40 an hour, and sometimes higher than that. If you have strenuous overhead, and can’t pay your labor force reasonably what are you doing in business anyways? We’re headed into a recession; liquidating some of your assets/overhead would help with that. Not rocket science bud; other companies do that as well. Just easier to regulate cheap labor to continue netting a high profit. That’s why they call it lucrative pal!

I'm not certain, but I think thats part of the strike.... either make all employees fulltime or give them the same pay and benefits.

@@woodspiritstudio nope, that's what the media makes it sound like when they say ending the two tier system. but that's for full-time people. temporary employees can be kept that way indefinitely and ford even was trying to make so they can have all temporary jobs only

Corporate greed, how about labor Greed I gotta raise mine cause you wanna raise yours.

@@dougalsip556 Did you Like your own comment? 🤔 seriously though no hate, I'm a illiterate but I think sometimes people think they're entitled to something even though they get 30 plus dollars an hour and benefits that most of Americans do not, greed runs deeper than just corporate if we don't like the job we're working at, we can quit we can quit and go somewhere else, that's the way capitalism works, in a dictatorship the ones in power dictate, like I said I think you miss my point, just truth

@@rickochet8346 Well, let's see, I know people that are unknown. Businesses and Union comes in and said you need a painter. I'm painting it myself. They go out in front in protest Union. Don't like anybody unless they Wani didn't even last. Say wanna get that little rat money. There was a purpose for a Union back in the day. Now it's a corrupt scheme when you retire. They promise you the world, and then they give you pennies. While the self-employed, non-union guys are living large. I pay some of my guys way more than any Union can ever afford pay. You want to talk healthcare? I don't provide it. What I do provide is $4500 per day. Take that non-union guy, I'm a non-union guy. I'm proud, non-union.

So sell me a vehicle at wholesale and I'll throw in $1k for a profit.

No, they're not. Salaried workers are not members of the UAW. They're the opposite of Union members. They're who the UAW protects workers from on a daily basis. AND they're not "on the line". The story mentions the parts distribution centers. It's not the same. Actually, that is something that is a world apart from building a vehicle.

@@terrym4593 so you’re saying the salary workers would build the trucks with no complaints

@@mont1994 , they may not complain much because they have no protection from being fired for no reason at all. No! They won't be able to build a vehicle. It takes a lot of people to build a car/truck. The people on the line are very busy doing their jobs. There are people bringing the parts that are used to build the cars. There are people who unload the semi-trailers. There are people who move the trailers from staging areas to the loading docks. There are skilled trades people who repair the machines that break. There are many more jobs inside the plant that all have salaried supervisors. Being a supervisor does not mean they are qualified to do our jobs.

I would love to see that...... It would be good for them to get a taste of what we do day in and day out

My boss said he was told to report to Kentucky Truck plant if the strike happens.

Wish i could see the out of shape GF who sits down for 7 of the 8hr shift on that line wont last a week

No fan of union excess but the idea that management could run the shop floor is always funny. I would say bring it on and see the mess that follows.

Excess 250+ Billion in profits in the last 10 years yet workers make less than they did 15 years ago so its not the union that you are not a fan of its simple math and humanity that you despise @@3markaw

Thanks for putting your words in my mouth. Typical useless union shill. I have a neighbor who was in the UAW and is now retired and he never stops talking about his career and the constant corruption and special favors as a way of life in the auto unions. Look around when you drive and you might see how everyone now drives a car made by a foreign company, mostly asian and mostly all made in NA in a plant without a union. I guess all those people who drive japanese cars hate humanity. With the brain you have you need a union because you would not get a decent paying job anywhere else.@@nicstone3141

@@benvaughn7482 so do UAW workers. UAW, u ain't working

It’s easy to say workers don’t work like they used to but remember that employers don’t pay as well as they used to.

They might even improve productivity, UAW is know worldwide for their inefficient and slow workforce.

Unfortunately you're wrong you see how many illegals are pouring into our country? Alot of those are cheap labor workers these companies know this they will gladly watch the unions fall apart then fill their factories with people that will work for 10$ an hour

FORD THINKS THEY CAN HIRE NEW SLAVES h ah ha

@@gerardomartinez3920 Really? Most employers are having to pay more just to get people who will come to work.

Union pill the office workers.

Any high School dropout can do factory work, they're over qualified and can probably do that work standing on their head. UAW, unions against work.

Would hate to be one of the unlucky ones who purchase a vehicle built by management lol. They do everything ass backwards are are more concerned which restroom fits their gender

@@Rscmgw23 Management wants numbers over quality all the QC and recall issues stem from bad management improperly organizing labor or forcing them to send shit out the door threatening them with a write up.

They tried that at my plant (Magna) where the office came out and ran machinery and they lasted 2 days! Ha what a joke! Now they think it’s funny to understaff us and still meet numbers for Lansing! We’re all about to fall over from 7 days 12 hours. 😡

Well said for sure 👏👏

​@@SPerryfevrthat is Criminal

And sacrifice quality as well. Don’t forget sweatshops and child labor.

Your an idoit. Mcdonalds pays more then a starting line worker at the big 3. Its time to pay up or shut it down.

This is how negotiations work. You start high.

The labor cost per vehicle is only 6%

It's people like you believing the propaganda of the owner class that make it so hard to protect the middle class.

Suprise, Don't forget those GMCH are making as much as that Burger King worker too, Because of the greed. It's way past the time to get rid of the tiers and eliminate GMCH and CCA language in the GM contract and have 1 GM inclusive contract.

The prices are because of corporate greed. Labor accounts for 3% to 5% of a vehicle wholesale cost. The dealer buys wholesale from the manufacturer (big 3), Then, the dealership raises the price again prior to selling Them to the consumer. Greedy!😢

I agree that that would suck to make 1/2 the amount of money, but didn't you know that when you started working there?

​@bradking2667 I hired in, in 2006 at roughly half scale. The UAW in our plant told us that we would be brought up to full wages in the 2007 agreement... guess what? They decided not to do that. We (about 30 of us) were the first group to never become "1st tier". I'm so glad I got out of there. The plant workers have lost so much over the years, while the CEOs make millions every year. I hope the workers get something back on this contract.

They can automate more of the production line 🤷‍♀️ that'll cut half the workforce if they don't move it south. There's many options the Big 3 have....

We can tell where the companies’ priorities are. They clearly think so little of the workers who make them the record profits that they boast about. I’d love to see these CEOs try and run these lines. Chasing cars up and down the line trying to make the builds. Maybe once they’ve developed the same back, hip, shoulder & elbow issues that the workers suffer through, maybe they’d have a new perspective? Wishful thinking on my part.

No money they will get desperate

Tell it to the Chrysler plant, moron.

Yeah I work at a Stellantis plant in Michigan. They literally went blue in the face for weeks about a strike. Today comes, no strike. So pretty hilarious how hypocritical these people are.

im shocked!!!! you left to find a better paying job. bravo sir! congrats on your success!

Quality went out the door a long time ago. Will not buy american cars.

They actually compensate better then the big three.

It's not about liking the job, it's about fair wages for what we've done.

Prices already sky high. The relation between worker wages and car price is not the case in this one chief.

It would take a 20% raise up front just to catch up with inflation.

With the current level of inflation, that's not that much

@@RobertL.Peters you don't know my hourly rate. 😉

@@grumpycricket I wasn't talking to you. I am a UAW member Dingus.... my comment was for the original post..... 46% is not that much because of inflation.... How did you not get that?

If you look online you can find wha they make. Ford or gm It ranges from $29,$40 a hr. Thats 60k to 83k a yr with no overtime That’s a lot And if they work 60 to 70 hrs say a week They’re making well over 100k a yr If they just work 20hr each week overtime They make around 104k to. 120k a year 😂 if not more
