If the auto makers made 21 billion in half a year, they should be able to outlast a six month or longer strike.

Fords offer is a complete joke to Auto workers.

Leave it to greedy ford ceo to add overtime to paycheck amount. Who tf wants to work 7 days a week 12 hour days to make 90k. $90k to give up ur family is bull crap.

boob hoo 10 day strike. Were prepared for 3 months or longer.

Stay UNION strong, don't settle for peanuts! The CEO's sure as hell didn't! ✊

In 2007 or so, GM laid off thousands and/or offered them buyouts. They said they did it to save costs. Well, the prices of GM products skyrocketed, and the top exec's got huge salary increases. They lied to us--and made even more money

Awesome

Car companies would rather shutdown production and lose billions than pay fair wages and benefits. Pathetic

The government gave the manufactures billions for transitioning to EV so this claim of it being expensive holds no water.

And they just repeat what these big 3 are saying WITHOUT STATING THE OBJECTIVE FACT THAT THEY DO IN FACT NOT TRY TO ADVANCE IN THESE NEGOTIATIONS. SHAME ON YOU MEDIA!!

Just walk out and see what happens

Terrible deal from ford your joking saying it was good..

corporate greed

What the ford ceo isn’t mentioning is that the average worker basically LIVES at a plant to make anywhere near that amount of money, and that’s the issue! Auto workers don’t want to waste away working 12hr shifts 7 days a week just to make 70-90k. What the greedy CEOs don’t understand is that autoworkers actually want to have lives outside of the plant.

why does the teleprompter say "there are some big numbers in this ford deal "? Does he work here?

Also, FORD workers do not have a pension plan. That was bargained away

Instead of asking what economic impact a couple of months of striking could mean, why don't we ask ourselves what DECADES of AWFUL TREATMENT AND EXPLOITING OF WORKERS causes!?? 😤😤 THESE QUESTIONS ARE ALL WRONG AND IT'S BY DESIGN. BE BETTER, MEDIA!! 😤😤😤😤

A WHITE MAN fighting hard for something JUST is a shock in and of itself. Im glad to see FORD trying. Everything will be fine.

A good deal???? What a joke!! LMAO...

The elephant in the room is that the average person cannot afford a new car.

More pay for less work. More benefits. Just add it to the price of vehicles that most people can't afford. Do you see any problems in the future? I do.

Let them strike 46% pay raise 32 hour work week??? Good luck getting.

Even the CEO has said the ford economics is with overtime. Most people don’t want to work 60 hours a week to make 98k. Their statement is very misleading

Shawn you are right keep up the great work you're on the right track hit the big plants. that will make everybody fall to their knees and give you all what you all asked for . Shawn be strong stand up Whatever you did say what you going to do to the plants the big plants put down now... And I know this you will get what you ask for they will be trembling and shaking and give you what you ask for. Believe it Shawn.Look, watch and see.

UAW, unions against work!

I love how people go well cars are too high-priced now which they are however almost 30% of that price is government imposed.

By the looks of some of these UAW bellies, walking that picket line would do them some good. 😅

We don't want evs

Look at Shawn Fain man, so inspirational. ❤

Greed greed greed. Now you why the auto companies are moving to right to work states and other countries where people aren't afraid to work.

More automation coming

Local 931....Roop Raaj just said Ford gave a seemly good contract?....what is Raaj talking about! Theirs nothing seemly good about Ford's contract proposal...record profits equals record contracts!!! And that one definitely NOT it!

It is not hard to transition to E - Vs. That's bull. It is easy. Just getting an outsole on board to drive an electric vehicle is. The 3 washed to keep the profits and lie, to news and their employees the backbone of the company. Who works remotely, vacating or takes a break 6 to 10 times a year, not including lie on being sick. Can't pay your employees a living wage, stop buying mansions, going on expensive lux vacations, on YATCHS clubs and ect...

The automakers are gouging the consumers and the workers!!

Are you kidding?? We make nowhere near $80,000 per year and we would only recieve 9% wage growth over the life of the contract. Bonuses don't count. Inflation is up like 18%. They have a long way to go!

Fire them all, 32 hour work week and paid for 40? Are you kidding me?

So important that the union remains strong! The power is always with the people, we must always hold big corporations accountable! #unionstrong

slap in the face. smfh

Fire them all.

Poor excuse, ev is failing. Extra cash is going up their noses.

Solidarity forever!

Shawn the billionaire will help you at Ford,p general motors and Chrysler and the high CEO keep believing , trusting , and. keep and keep the faith.

Screw the phony EV's and get back on track for the USA

Just because they offered doesnt make it adequate. Maybe watch the UAW video yourself rather than count on the news which skews towards the interest of the Boss.

COLA adjustments to the base pay rate are necessary because the real inflation rate will likely persist for longer than anyone suspects. The companies are paying the workers with dollars that are rapidly losing their purchasing power due to the devaluation of the US dollar in real terms. Meanwhile, executive compensation has been increasing at a high multiple of the proposed increases to the UAW workers compensation. They make sure that they are not falling behind in real terms. UAW workers have fallen far behind in real terms over the last four year contract. They do not want to get locked in to another four years where nominal wage increases are only a fraction of the real inflation rate. This is a guaranteed loss in real terms. Do not be fooled by the numbers. A 15 percent increase over the four year agreement is less than 4 percent per year. The real aggregate compound inflation rate in the US will likely be far higher than that over the life of the next four year contract.

These companies say it's a huge cost to transfer to ev..they get government monies to do that shit .

notice how fain always says he wants a fair contract. he never tells what he is asking for because his demands are ridiculous. he keeps those facts to himself because he knows the public would find his demands offensive and absurd. Ford lost 4.5 billion on their electric car production, but you wont hear that from fain. higher wages, yes. no two tier, agreed. CEO pay too high, damn right. but health care for life, a pension, a 32 hour week, a 46 percent pay raise ? what fain is doing is pushing all the jobs to mexico. he wont lose his job, buy you may lose yours.

I'm curious how MASSIVE dealer inventory and a slower market effects the strike. It seems FORD & GM would value a strike right now. They don't have the head ache of shutting a plant down, it will be shut down for them.

Hope the strike goes well this contract could be life changing 🙏

What these CEOs ain’t talking about is their fat bonuses and their take home! Tick Tock

WHAT GOING TO HAPPEN IS THEY WILL SEND THE JOBS TO MEXICO

NOONE WANTS TO GET STUCK IN AN EV IN A SNOW STORM. COME ON. MOVE SLOWER. FEED THE POOR WORKING CLASS

Good idea guys let's go on strike and send more jobs to other countries. Unions are a thing of the past and they were needed back then. Now its just about putting money in pockets. If you think you should be paid more just because you pay out of your pocket to be a member of a club you are way wrong. If you think you should be paid more because the company made so much then go start your own business and pay yourself as much as you want. These union people are pathetic...If you don't want to make $70-90K a year go elsewhere and work part time. Let me know how that works out for ya...O i'm sorry you do wanna make that kind of money but just don't want to work for it. Gotcha!!!

Time to get rid of labor unions!!

the average line worker makes $32 an hour plus benefits. how much is fair for someone to bolt on tires? in my opinion thats fair wage. the uaw is looking at profit of the corporation, this is as bad as professional sports . and you wonder why a pickup is $100k . if this goes on you wont be able to afford a car at all. new or used.

Just think what would happen if people stopped buying cars what the auto industry needs to do is a massive scale down don't need to build 10,000 cars a min a bit out of proportion here lol I'm saying scale down and less labor work better pay for some most of today's cars bulit sit on a lot for months and dang near a year old before someone buys it ??

Very “expensive” To transition to EV’s. Funny how it’s expensive when these companies are getting millions from the government to get EV’s going. Funny how the “News” never gives the full story. Anyone else notice the companies trying to eliminate more combustion engine models? Eliminating these jobs will have a massive ripple effect on the American economy. But corporate as always is only concerned with continuing to line their pockets. Who cares if those of us who really keep everything in this country moving can barely afford food, shelter,a reasonable quality of life.

How can someone afford a new vehicle?

I have a mixed opinion about the UAW from some of the leadership that has been charged with embezzlement in the past. But man, Sean is making some great demands here and is a strong leader!

Henry Ford believed his employees should be able to afford the company's product. UAW believes no one else should.

I'll be directly affected by this, assembling components for them across the street and I was in the same boat last strike. When GM runs, we run, When they stop, we cant work. I do find it to be BS they lowball when making so much in profits, I hope they can ease up on a few dollars, a lot of us struggle, so I dont think its too much to ask to give back to the people that gave you those profits.

I am a union worker. My job cannot be done by a robot. An awful lot of UAW employees have been replaced by robots and every year that number increases. It's all due to wage disputes with the employers. But there has to be a balance. And the UAW President talking about actual dollar figures when he talks about profit is a false argument. The only factual number is percentage of sales. $26 billion sounds like a lot but if it is only a 4% profit margin then it isn't healthy. Now I don't know the actual number, but just the fact he is using a dollar figure throws his whole argument into question. Just use real numbers and then let's see if the employers are doing the right thing or not. If they are and the union still gets a wage increase, then eventually all these businesses will be gone.

In solidarity with the auto companies, stay strong and don't be bullied by the UAW gang. Strike Buster's local 69 🇺🇲

Media these days are seriously out of touch to even remotely to say that deal ford came with was a good deal. They want cola to stay suspended when you get time and half an double time pay on that and get it every week and if it’s better for the bonus then why wouldn’t the company just say oh ok ya want this instead and that’s cause they know it’s better and it’s really simple if it’s so expensive to go over to ev how about they don’t try to become another Tesla as we already have one of those type of car companies and no one really wants electric cars not in the numbers they are bout to be attempting to build and if the government is so hell pressed on pushing that agenda then maybe we need to vote some new individuals in there places cause just cause it’s good for California don’t mean it’ll work in northern Michigan or Minnesota.

Uaw must go

His demands are absolutely ridiculous 32 hour work week 46% more pay, full free retiree healthcare. The automakers should just move their plants to Mexico.

The UAW (United Against Work) want 46% more pay and only work 32 hours per week? It’s nice to want things….

Well there goes the american auto industry along with whats left of the us economy. Cars are too expensive now and interest rates are high as hell. Raising the prices of cars will be terribly destructive to the auto industry. Mexicans however will end up in much better shape with the new high paying auto jobs heading to mexico.

Just shift production to Mexico. Case closed

A "GOOD" deal?? What made you determine this was ANYWHERE NEAR A GOOD DEAL?? SO GODDAMN DISINGENUOUS. BE BETTER MEDIA!! 😤😤😤😤

The Only Effective Answer To Organized Greed Is Organized Labor.

I quit buying from the big three years ago because of their poor quality. I really don’t care if there is a strike or not. There are too many other manufacturers that are producing a better quality product.

Yes the CEOs are WAY WAY WAY over paid. As for the unions, most American workers are not in Unions and have no chance of joining a union so they have to pay benefits to others which they do not have. Unions are nothing but government sanctioned labor monopolies. The only way a union works is to get in and make sure the door closes behind you and no one else gets in. The only answer it to get rid of the overhead of union management and unions all together and make the minimum wage 40 dollars an hour and make social security pay what union pensions pay. Monopolies need to be shut down. Anyone ever heard of inflation?

Your just an employee! If you want to get paid make up your own plan instead of sticking out your soft hand. You don't lift you don't turn a wrench and if something is wrong you call the line leader "cause it's not my job". Henry Ford created the living wage of $5hr but you had to have skills like a mechanic or engineer or just effective with a wrench today big 3 employee have automatic tools and lift machines but keep on wanting top dollar and forcing others to buy an affordable import vehicle like I had to do and I wanted a Ford.

Yep, these workers deserve more than 4 year degree jobs like nursing or engineering. The joke is the UAW.

Don’t act like Ford offer was a good offer!! It was a insult to all auto workers of a offer plain and simple!!!

We have 7 million new immigrants in the country and they will work for the auto industry. Start training the immigrants as soon as possible so that we will not run short on cars and the cars will be cheaper because the immigrants will work for half the cost and still vote blindly for democrats just as the unions do now. It’s a win win
