but they won't grill CEOs the way they will Union Leaders. They'll give them a platform for their Point of View, and give support and Fear Monger over the economy in those segments. Where when they have a Union Leader on, its all questions, and attempts to trivialize the needs of the workers, as it always is.

For real. And the auto guys are on the top of the industry. All the lower wage people who “don’t have real jobs” are really get left behind.

The companies owe them for concessions given up during the recession too...do your homework or don't speak about things you don't know.

edwardsavela: absolutely, unions created prosperity in the 50s. Since the 80s, the pursuit of "trickle down economics" has created a dangerous wealth gap. More than overdue to fix the mistakes and go back to a model that we know can work for working class people.

The strike by GM last contract lasted 40 says, workers were fools taking that one! It's laborers time!

@edwardsavela it's spelled shawn fain. not sein fain LMFAOOO 🙃

We had a group of postal carriers join us yesterday on our picket line in Toledo!!

Your in a socialist union

I wish the postal workers delivering in my neighborhood had your esprit de corps. They fall short of every expectation for timely and accurate delivery.

the non union shops benefit from UAW wins with higher wages as well. And they don't have to pay union dues. If Toyota in the south doesn't raise wages, the workers will have an incentive to unionize.

not only the ""the right-to-work states,,, "" is the golbalized capitalism that not alowed the unionize jobs... and the new electrification era of XXI. ,,, the other car fabrics honda toyota,,,, pay more and give lot of benefits to their workers,,, they take care of workers....

It doesn't. Tesla employees get paid less than the union shops because they are already at 63 an hr (according to a Ford line worker). But Tesla employees make out with stock options. And they have decent Healthcare. 63 an hr is alot

Riiiight. That's not how it works.

Go in and ask for a 40% pay raise, see how that works out for you. I do not believe in the ceo's getting 22 or 29 million in pay at all. They can give some of that money to the workers. The uaw asking for 48% is stupid.

​@@fmgmackYep, like spoiled children kicking & screaming they want their way, cause they had their way for so long now, completely without gratitude, just want more. Wealth hoarding speculators.

Unions are only fighting for themselves, not the common people.

Unions will not close the wealth gap, the costs always trickle down to the end consumer. Do you seriously think that any massive hike in wages isn't going to affect the future sticker prices? The government should have let them sink instead of bailing them out years ago.

​@@ClarenceSladeWhat exactly are you a supporter of foreign car markers? At least could let or allow the consumers to choose, not propose to eradicate the car-makers here in the US via corporate greediness & leave no choice(s) in the matter where a person's dollars are invested, by their own standards of prioritization. Firstly the government primarily bailed out the mega-corporations, using tax-payer dollars to do so. One point is this the auto-workers industry being somewhat higher earners than some areas of employment. These payouts being reduced in-effect, is monetary paid compensate basically an investment back into yourself via intervention governmental agency's on board to do so. Point being for the government to lend a hand is an investment into continuance an enormous tax base. However very notable is responsible parties. The workers never made the decisions to bankrupt the company. They opted concessions in a show of good faith or desperation, likely both, but you pic your poison. The CEO's kept paying themselves enormous incentives knowing full well the market wasn't providing that compensation to themselves, & if not to know what excuses ? How to Captain or hold such a position of steering the company's assets...into liabilities is permissable on any level of business competency? Gross incompetence or fuckery? I say the latter, though I think evil intentions of the stupidest proportions any mind can pursue, for who can retain anything in this world they beg, borrow or steal from? Not taking it with us upon departure, is my humble opinion. Yet, these so-called top-notch thinkers clueless the warning signs posted on economic bubbles to burst..showered in persistency to be heard, still they proceeded as deafened, it was either fuckery or totally incompetency to run a company, not to heed the cautionary signs & sail the ship over a waterfall onto the rocks of mayhem's destruction below. I venture knowing full well where they were headed & they continued on course raping the finances of the company. Doing so, allowed a speculation they perceived their rescue beforehand. Evidence that corporate America, thru legal channels paid for by the mega corporations, bought a politically favored standard & achieved a personal bankruptcy status. A corporation is not a person, it a 'thing' comprised of 'a group of individuals in league with one another with an agenda in hand to overcome all individual resistance to themselves,' & does not warrant a personal bankruptcy status nor violate excuse to pay themselves enormous amounts completely irresponsibly & avoid accountability. What are they but glorified accountants to begin with as heads of corporations. Parasitic inventors in this case. Incidentally, this corporate pack formation to wield immense power, as affluence over lawful conduct is nature's equivalent to a pack of wolves or a lion pride. A group that serves the isolate center at the top, in short & nothing warrants under true law, this position of indemnity for bad financial decisions. Who thru political affluence ( via campaign donations) merely enacted legal mandates posing, as Laws. Before this if a company fell into insolvency, responsible parties assigned restoration thru removal their assets, the assets were sold to pay debts, it was dissolved & personal assets seized to pay debts. However they were allowed to walk free with bonuses paid in hand. Forgiven all, because that changed thru this paid for legal standing beneath a curiously farce 'Law' to preserve, even under notoriously questionable conduct a pathway out was provided & the tax-payers were forced to foot the bill for corporate greed, plus worker's forced to take concessions for this ultimate heist & kidnapping of tax monies at the uppermost echelons of government, by politicians beholden to corporate donations, provided hand in hand the means for corporate greed to flourish abundantly while everyone else did with less. Not a single vile crook was punished for their crimes of corporate thievery either is despicably how the political wheels turn.

​@@RajDeelishThe Unions are part of the common people. That is an underestimation of how much effectiveness the Union jobs reflect on other workers, their combined dollars support many businesses, supportive private mom & pops & other companies. If the Union had it their way, all would be represented, but some places don't wish that or being to small to afford payment likely & manage effectively on their own keeping fair practises or violations at minimum & that's their choice to do so respectively can't force & that wouldn't be Independence at work. Unions where suitable, still reflective the positive thru monies of taxation paid & purchasing power.

The workers are the greedy ones.

​@@SeekingAlfalfaYes, there's literally polling data supporting this. Google is quick and easy to use. But you already know that

Unions are responsible for incredible leaps forward for the working class. The weekend, the 8 hour day, child labor, living wages, pensions.. For decades the American people have witnessed the unbridled greed of CEO's and "Right to Work" beneficiaries... I hope this sets a precedent for the entire working class, without us nothing happens. People deserve better, the country deserves better.

Why do you blame the billionaires and not the government? If we turned 100% of all the US billionaires' wealth into cash, and issued it all as one big tax collection, it wouldnt be able to fund the government by itself for more than 8 or 9 months. Youre being wilfully lied to. The source of economic destruction lies with the ones who print money, not the buisness leaders. Power rests with those who wield guns and cages, not the ones with money....because the money itself is controlled by those with guns and cages.

The interview with Representative Dingell was very helpful. One of the things auto workers gave up in 2008 while trying to help save these mismanaged auto companies was their Cost of Living Adjustment. Therefore, they have been going backwards for over a decade. The auto companies are doing very well now. It's time to restore the cost of living adjustment (COLA) and provide wage increases that match the bounty the CEOs have been enjoying. That's only fair. Period. These companies owe a debt to these workers, pay your debt. Period. Yours in solidarity. 🗽

Can't wait to see what those cars look like once the CEOs roll up their sleeves and try to build them by themselves. Lol Would you drive a car built by a CEO? Solidarity with UAW all the way.

Average General Motors Assembler hourly pay in the United States is approximately $21.42, which is 39% above the national average. Average Tesla Assembler hourly pay in the United States is approximately $22.01, which is 43% above the national average. Avg salary is over 50/hr. What's this guy talking about 'pitiful' Tesla pay' & 'greedy' Musk shooting rockets into outer space (with goal to colonize Mars)? When assembler positions go virtually extinct, this will be amusing to look back on.

The fact trump is earning tons of money and pay no taxes. Yet 100 millions Americans loving him. Soon all these workers are dead meat. All hail trump the great one

And in the end the unions can shrug their shoulders and walk off into the sunset with no more questions.

The bias of the interviewer is blatant.

@johnwright9372 what do u expect? Plus have u noticed that Donald j trump get away scot free. He will be next president. And usa is as good as.......long live p

They keep talking about how they want to be 'competitive', yet they dont compare their 'competitive' CEO wages to that of competitors. Compare the CEOs salary of Toyota and Nissan to the Big 3. Then compare the company earnings and profit. Makes you go hmmm

Where he derailed in his interview is mentioning ELON who takes a $1 salary at Tesla and relies on the performance of his stock alone, so he is in a better position to do battle with the workers in relation to the Delta of pay. Mary Barra and the other CEOs need to be taking a $1 salary. As she says 92% of her compensation is tied to performance, then great. She will be rewarded handsomely based on her stock holdings which is how many of great companies are run today. If the leadership team gets a 40% pay increase, then the workers should too, but they did not think about that.

​@@SlumberSource

If the CEO walked off the job the company would still function... if there are no workers the the company stops... these CEOs need to realize they aren't gods gift to everyone.

Something more that's untold..not disclosed in all of this. It must be about power acquisition, money equates power if people can be bribed, if a person refuses to be bribed money has no power over them.

Have you even been in one? I was. My first shop over 20 years ago. Been non union since. They are worthless. I am a Diesel mechanic. We can find a job in one day with the shortage the last 10 years. We get to call the shots these days. Seniority is the worst with unions. You have to be close to retirement to get all of the overtime and holidays off. Everyone makes the same. My sister shop is union. Because of my skills. I get paid 4 dollars an hour more. Also. I don’t need the company insurance. Being non union. I can demand to get money every month for not using it. I get 350 month extra. Unions you pay the same union dues and insurance regardless of your job.

You can take 0 Shawn ... thats 0 pecent of any job. All of this has been systematically shifted from the US to low cost corporate friendly countries. You don't have anything unique or special to sell.

Unions are outdated. They served a purpose back in the industrial revolution. Now all the leaders do is steal money. I use to work with a company that has a union. The most mediocre people ever. Do the bare minimum, smoke break, bare minimum, smoke break.

But Unions have also added to the issues since the days of Hoffa; and no one is really factoring that into all of this. Problem is both sides are trying to recoup as much as they own BS as possible in one Contract and that’s foul on both sides.

Very true assembly lines make 450 cars in 8 hours. 450/8 = 50 cars an hour. An employee makes 30 an hour so do the math. An employee gets paid just over 50 cents per a car he helps build. At my plant where I build transmission we make 1,000 every 8 hours. I get 20 cents for every part I help make. I know we have a lot of people to help but guess what when you break it down our wages account for a very small percentage of the cost. It's not fair that we make pennies to the dollars when we're the ones who are the essential workers.

Yep the ceos don't want the world to know that but now the truth is coming out.

Agreed 👍
