UAW Strike

[Fodderwing]

All my experience with unions is sitting across the table from them.

Proud to say I never paid a sleazy, slimy business agent to negotiate anything for me.

The Ford CEO took home more than $22 million in salary last year. That’s over 300 times the average median salary of a Ford employee. The average cost of labor for a new car is around 5% or less. GM’s CEO took home $29 million, and the Stellantis CEO took home $25 million.

“Put another way, an hourly Ford employee would need to labor for seven working lifetimes to earn the same amount of money that Farley, between his base salary, bonus, stock options, and fringe benefits, took home in a single year.”

The workers generate the value, not the CEO. The cost of a new auto rises but not the factory worker pay. The CEO gets a sales bonus, but not the workers who make it happen.

Stop shilling for the bossman. They don’t care about you. Instead of slagging off other workers, start asking why your employer isn’t doing better for you. Don’t like that they’re asking for 32 hour weeks? Demand it for yourself instead of griping about how hard you work. YOU DESERVE BETTER. You hurt yourself by denigrating those that ask for better pay.

Get real mutant,
If I demand anything in wages or my work hours I will be shown the door and out of a job as most hard working Americans would be too. It’s a fact that CEO’s will always make more than the laborers, that’s life.

This is every job in America and we don’t strike, we go to work. You know why my CEO makes more money than me ? BECAUSE HE APPLIED HIMSELF ! He went to college, got multiple degrees, worked long hours away from family over decades to get where he is. I had the same opportunities but I CHOSE not to apply myself, therefore I make 100 times less than him AS I SHOULD !!! It’s called taking fiscal responsibility ! Some of y’all sound like democrats wanting rich folk to share the wealth to those that chose not to apply themselves but now want “Their fair share” !

Let me give you an example of Union jobs and what happened to my brother, back in the early 1980’s he was making $18+ per hour, most folks around here was making about $4.00 an hour at the time. The company my brother worked for was very good to them, but they tried milking the company for every dime they could, you see they wouldn’t work like they should during their shifts, they would drag @$$ around to get the work done on overtime pay or weekend pay where they were payed double, the company ran two shifts and eventually had to hire a third shift to get the products made. They got 8 weeks paid vacation and thought they should have more, they would go on strike and demand more and more. Their standard of living was so much higher than everybody else’s in our small town it was ridiculous. I told my brother ya’ll don’t appreciate your good fortune at all and just keep it up and all will be lost. Well after a few years and all their demands the company shut the doors and went to Canada. Now they all have to bust the butts making a living and lots of them will never be back to the wages they once made because of their greed.

Not to mention the defects on union built vehicles.

Just like the McDonalds worker wanting $25 an hour to make a damn burger. You don’t like your pay, you don’t like your position, THEN BETTER YOURSELF, don’t be the same old you and then DEMAND MORE !!!!

Someone suggested the big 3 just shut down. I suggest they do what Boeing did when they moved one of their plants to a right to work state.
But , as far as prices go, the auto makers that set up shops in the south have to pay their workers the same wages so the unions don't have a point for the workers to grip about.
