Default UAW may strike!

UPS union settled…auto makers will hve to settle too.

Lol…stupid unions…they will get their raises while management will use AI and robotics to replace all those mindless non-educated union dolts.

Only people that will benefit are the overpaid union officials.

Just a matter of time before AI replaces management. AI works for much less than a fortune 500 CEO at 300x the average worker.

Tesla is building a multi-Billion $ factory in Mexico. UAW made cars won't be able to compete on costs.

Amazes me that union uneducated skells think they need more than minumum wage to put a tire on a car.

Just like paying McDonalds burger flippers $15 an hour…oh wait, where did those kiosks come from?

Wow. just wow. You could have a valid point. But is completely lost in the condescending insulting words. And I am not even a fan of unions.

hmmm. You would think that before entertaining a strike that they would make demands that "sell" to the general public. If their wages have not kept up with inflation, then demanding a wage that has seems like something you could sell and be publicly supported. (Unless the public thought you were way overpaid before.) Stating that we are working 60, 70, 80 hours a week and we need to be paid 40 hours for 32 hours of work is non-sensical (in my opinion). 40 hours per week, with inflation adjusted pay seems like reasonable demands that you might get support for. (Although, the unions all proudly support certain folks, who might possibly be responsible for inflation). This could be a case of you get what you voted for. Not intended to be political. If anyone thinks that is, please advise so I can remove it ASAP.

OK let them go on strike. Since we are not in the need for another car they can work out their differences at their own pace.

This may a long strike.

Ford said that the UAW's proposals would more than double its US labour costs.

And the members 97% of the union's members voted to authorise a strike.

Hard to see common ground there.

This is why I don't like unions, they are greedy powerhouses and make a mockery of all the hard working Americans who keep plugging along every day. And I would never vote for anyone who promotes them. We all get screwed in the long run. Except the union heads who get richer..

So you will be paying 30-40% more for a Chevy, ford, or ram, which are already overpriced for the quality you get. Every job in these plants are anlready automated so the worker doesn’t have to lift anything heavy, robots help carry, or actually do the more demanding physical work. I hope all of these car manufacturers go broke after they. Implement this and all the workers go from making good money to $0. There are much better made cars here in the US that won’t be affected by this and I hope they all thrive.

Let them strike. Time is our side. Let's see how long all those union workers can survive with $500/week of "strike pay"; can't collect unemployment; no medical benefits. And how long can the union keep up with strike pay before they run out of $$?

I already see some of them crying on national television lamenting about how they are going to survive a strike; already looking to flip burgers or bag groceries.

This will impact many more people than those who may want a new car - restaurants, hotels, grocery stores, etc.

Default Rates of pay

The average employee in the union makes $33.00 per hour about $67000 annually. They want $40.00 per hour which comes out to #80000 annually .
