The words from a true socialist.

They want a 40% pay increase and the work week to drop from 40 hours down to 32.

Unions got us the 40 hour work week 100 years ago, it’s only fitting.

@@888strummeras they should

@@888strummerit’s collective bargaining

How about a 24 hr work week that sounds better 😂

People in the south just hate the word union You’ll do much better in a union in your trade unless you’re the top 5%

this is gonna go about as well as WGA.

Bootlickers

Union leaders definitely don’t look over the contract to see if it’s a fair deal your so right dude 🙄

They haven't had a raise since before the financial crisis. I'm an auto worker in Canada. Yes, our union is nothing but a bunch of common criminals. They got money from the government to push the companies into mandating the Covid gene therapies and than didn't file a single grievance in the entire country. But the company can't get people to work for them. They go to job fairs and don't receive a single job application. We actually have people quitting to go work elsewhere for 50% increases in pay and benefits. These jobs suck and these companies suck. I tell younger workers to consider looking for work elsewhere. No sense getting trapped in a health damaging job because you have so many years towards your pension and retirement benefits. The 32 hour work week makes no sense since we're mandated to work 6 days/48 hours by the government anyway. I think these companies are preparing to disappear. Not go bankrupt but to actually just close their doors. The level of technical incompetence in the company is beyond what you'd think possible. At my plant we just got approval to update a few more cells and the guy put in charge is an MBA. It makes no difference since even engineering is totally incompetent. Our level of productivity is so low that the plant shouldn't remain open. It's one mistake after another. Management spends all their energy lying to corporate about what went wrong. Legacy car companies will never transition to EVs because they aren't vertically integrated and therefore can't figure out how to get an electric mirror or electric seat to talk to the main computer. All these systems come from suppliers and are black boxes. EVs make zero sense environmentally but if we do push those by mandating them than Tesla and Chinese companies and probably Toyota and Honda and Mazda will be the only survivors. VW got 40 billion Euros from the German government to go electric and now admits their cars don't work and they will rebadge Chinese EVs instead. They're already starting to admit EVs make no sense and cannot be done. Not enough electricity, copper, lithium and much worse for the environment and too expensive. EVs are probably being brought in because we wont be allowed to have cars at all. 15 minute cities and cricket powder for all of us mindless cowards.

And they are too dumb to realize 60% of them will lose their jobs because of Democrats forcing EV’s on Americans. Almost all of the dumb Union workers vote for the party that’s trying to destroy their jobs.

I’m sure it’s a good deal harder to run a multinational company than it is to screw in a bolt on an assembly line.

Those CEOs run companies, any high School dropout can do factory work. UAW, unions against work.

none of this is relevant, unless youre a commie suffering envy.

It may be a bit more complicated to run a company but not to the tune of 30 mill a year pay check; and that's not even counting pension, perks health care and severance packages.

@@jayhawker03 In 1965 the pay ratio was 35-1; now it's over 300-1. That is why the middle class has been left behind in America. And because of people like you who support this horrible wage difference.

Especially with the build quality

I wont be their junk anyways

$75-$90k + worse quality.

Anyone else hear more robotics coming? They make premium trucks now, charge more and make less, so it inflates the price. why make 10 when you can make 4, make ‘em “premium” and make just as much as making the actual 10

The same, the profits aren’t going to the greedy executives you doped

The average pay for an assembly line worker is over $37 an hour base pay. I wish I could be so poor.

Finally, a smart person in the comment section.

Yea I see you don't care about your fellow Americans making livable wage, you just care about the price of "mUh tRuCk." Go move out of the country then if you dont care about Americans making livable wages.

Exactly! Make a quality vehicle first, then we’ll talk about pay increases.

People like you obviously don't have a clue about what you're talking about. Quality issues are RARELY THE RESULT OF POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP. GENERALLY IT'S THE RESULT OF POOR ENGINEERING, POOR MACHINE WORK AND TOOLING, AND POOR JUDGMENT IN MANAGEMENT, PUSHING THE GARBAGE OUT OF THE DOOR KNOWING THAT THE PRODUCT IS SHITTY. BUT LOW MINDED PEOPLE LIKE YOU AUTOMATICALLY WANT TO BLAME THE LOWEST PERSON. THERE'S SO MUCH INVOLVED IN IT BUT YOU IGNORANT PIECES OF SHIITE COULDN'T CARE LESS.

Why do dude with the people doing wage theft? Wage theft is 2/3 of all kinds of theft

@@GoatedAtNFS please! I can rebuild the 90% of my own cars by myself.

You think if you built your own vehicle and someone took it for a dollar would that be fair to you? Cause that's practically what the company is doing to its employees.

That's right

that was 80 years ago. unions haven't done anything since.

Okay, but we’re not living in 1930 anymore. Unions are a parasite, feeding corruptly off the workers to foster maximizing discontent.

There's no labor without a company to work for.

@rubinruiz.....said the CEOs & shareholders as they counted their cash in s locked room.

You couldn't do it for a day. 😂

Get a monkey to do it. The monkey would do a better job and would be more reliable

@@MrDavisjonesBecause it’s such a monotonous task that robots should be doing it. These workers are really gonna speed up the big 3’s efforts with AI.

@jayhawker - it's always "these workers"...these workers caused factories to move to China & Mexico. These workers caused companies to switch to robots. These workers caused health care premiums to increase. These workers caused consumers to pay more. These workers caused inflation. WHERE DOES the BS STOP? Wake Up American working classes IT'S NOT the workers, it NEVER WAS!

Nobody deserves anything. They don’t like it, go get another job.

Free trade is good. Makes goods cheaper which helps to deflate our economy. Provides labor that grows the manufacturing country’s economy. Win win.

I blame made in USA folks! NOT AT THESE WAGES!!!

provides labor in other countries. free trade killed most of our industries in the US@@jayhawker03

@@FishFace1776-mi7ceyou want Americans to be paid starvation wages?🤨

Free Trade removed tarrriffs (taxes) on imports and therfore destroyed our domestic American industries. Plain and simple fact read your American history and you will learn that some tariffs are warranted and NEEDED. The problem is the new Globalists (esp tech.) own your govt and set policy. Policy setting was done with the American people in the past. That is now corrupted. The Bush family and the Clinton's were greatest supporters and corporate tools.

Yeah because people like you NEVER get an opportunity to be shown how much the salaried workers make. Only the CEOs. But how much is the CROS personal assistant is making. How much are the other execs making 2, 5, 7 MILLION!!! BUT you're saying that the workers who bust their asses everyday are driving up costs.

BS Joe Biden is not the future either!

They actually do in many Euro countries. They're called NATIONAL strikes and they scare hell out of Corps and Globalists.

Even the UAW isn't exempt from bribery...

My understanding is that they think they can be effective with selective plant strikes and it also helps their strike fund last a lot longer.

Because if the big three are bankrupt, no one wins. They are doing this 2 years too late when interests rates are at several decades high, repos at a 10 year high, credit card debt at the highest its ever been, and student loans starting back next month. Its basically a perfect storm for a giant economic slowdown and they’ve been told this. If even one of them goes under, they lose all power they currently have.

The strike fund would not last long if all workers from all 3 plants went out at omce

@@stratdad3539 My next thought is, how long are they planning on keeping this going? How long will they without a new contract / raises?

Then why don’t they go get jobs at those places?

At Taco Bell they assemble the whole taco. They don’t jus put a lug nut on cry and bitch wanting a 32hr work week. FO.

This is what unions do though. They make their members become self entitled and they demand what they want and if they don't get it l, they threaten with a strike. Teamsters started this wave with UPS. If labor becomes more expensive, so will everything we buy. Next fast food workers will want to unionize

That’s the point the work there doing deserves more pay

Or... “ yew want friez wit dat?” CB

You can't stop people from hiring new people or working. Bring in the Mexicans 👈. These poor stickers making 35$ and hour and want 57$ an hour. Notice they don't tell you that part. As the union mob bosses are greedy. They aren't getting a big enough cut? Their new cars suck anyway. They break down every two weeks.

then ZERO American car manufacturing careers, MORON!!! CB

No, it's just that you don't realize that you have a slave mentality and think that working people shouldn't have A RIGHT AND OBLIGATION TO DEMAND MORE. EITHER THAT OR YOU'RE AN ELITIST WHOSE PARENTS GOT A LOT OF MONEY AND DON'T HAVE A CLUE ABOUT WHAT REAL WORKING CLASS PEOPLE SUFFER IN THIS CORPORATOCRACY.

Hey Clark: Plush is a $30+mill a year pay check! There was a time in this fair land when corporate tools were routed out. Before the Elon Musk and Bill Gates worshipping began and before the "new globalism" was promoted. There was a time when corps could run their companies, pay living wages to workers provide benefits and pension reinvest in their business and give bacj a crumb or two to their local community and still make a profit. Now those were Company Presidents to emulate! Today's CEOs own govt politicians, have open borders a global market place for exploitation few to no employee benefits and stagnant wages. They need not invest a penny in the local community and in fact demand Tax Abatements and threaten leaving for Mexico if their demands aren't met. They have bbled the economy dry and continue to do so. Gee, no don't quite feel sorry for these corporate scammers across the spectrum.

@@hermanmunster714 AMEN. But these people have been conditioned to not see what's RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEIR FACES. That's because these same Elon Musk and Bill Gates that they worship and admire so much control the media that they feed on.

Unfortunately the union plan does not resolve the issue with their demands. Many people in the country have gone without pay increases and lack the benefits the union is demanding. Two wrongs do not make it right with what the union is doing. It just sounds like the unions are out of touch with reality as to the state of the economy and country. If you don't like your CEO pay, then everyone has a right to leave. But to ask to be elevated to their level with pay increases is just propagating the problem of overpaid management.

@@clarkz5613 Wow the only thing worse than this outright DUMB STATEMENT is that I WASTED TIME OUTTA MY LIFE READING IT AND REPLYING TO IT.

Yeah Throw canned food at strikers. CB

They can't compete with competitors because all their money goes to the top executives and stock. Workers wages only account for 4% of the cost. You should watch more of the uaw livestreama then you will know why workers demand a 40% raise. It's also because the executives gotten a 40% raise when the company was breaking record profits.

They pay into that. It's literally their money they saved for this.

Pay about 80$ in union dues a month from every member. Also give union dues out of any bonus we get.

The ev push and joe biden have done this to you! So keep voting democrat union workers!

F u @Amykelley - seen your corporate-tool-bot signature all over the youtube pages. Not worthy of response.

AI has the potential of taking over many jobs, this is already the path we are on and already on their minds because that is our culture. The hope is we can begin changing the culture on how we view workers, as people deserving of a better way of life. Hopefully then when AI is truly implemented, we’ll have people in power caring about people and not just simply looking to get rid of all the workers they no longer need.

"this type of stuff" = fighting for your kids & family to have a piece of the pie you helped bake.

Such a beta attitude

Hey Just me does being a corporate tool-bot mean you get to buy your Taylor Swift tix before anyone else? 😆 🤣 😂

And here I am thinking that all of the low minded elitist assholes were extinct. Tesla keeps its costs down and keeps the union bug down by giving their employees the biggest most generous compensation that a thriving company could give- COMPANY STOCKS.

Excellent points. We'll stated.

Yeah Rest In PIECES. CB

@@EmmyPierz-ek7hi CB ?

CEOs have to set the direction of the entire company. They do way more than answer emails. CEOs answer to shareholders first and if the company is missing revenue targets they get canned. It’s a very high stress job that is very high risk because CEO’s are thrown out every year and are never hired again. Compare that to an auto worker that only has the stress of screwing in a bolt on a car and id say the breakdown is fair. This economy is based on risk and reward.

Yeah you go and get those assholes to take less. Meanwhile a SMART UNION WORKER IS GOING TO DEMAND FAIR WAGES BASED ON THE HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS THAT THESE COMPANIES ARE PROFITING AND GIVING TO ALL OF THE CEOS AND EXECS AND SALARIED WORKERS .
