I believe that I heard that more US cars are made in Mexico than in the US. That may be good for upper management, which gave themselves 40% raises (on top of already BIG salaries) - but is it good for middle America and America in general? I would say.....NOT.
.........Was it NOT Henry Ford who said he wanted to PAY his workers well so that THEY could afford to buy a new Ford? If the US is helping Mexico and the Mexican worker, then maybe we could ask them NICELY to please control the illegal border crossings.
.........Funny how Japan and Toyota can make vehicles profitably here IN the US of A, but we CAN'T. Might have something to do with profit and GREED.

Would most MIT graduates be good at putting a tire on a car?
.......Imagine a society where everyone was a Medical Doctor or a rocket scientist.

A 4-day workweek has advantages. It would be good for teachers because it would cut down the costs for school buses. And for auto workers or other factory or office workers, it would decrease the gasoline used to commute and cut pollution. Also, cut down on traffic accidents and slowdowns, which waste gas and waste time.

They could lower their labor costs by making E-vehicles, which have fewer parts.

Tesla makes a lot of its EVs right here in the USA and makes a very healthy profit. Also huge plants in Shanghai and Germany. And planning more. Not unionized and apparently workers are very busy and happy.

Unfortunately the legacy car firms here in the USA cannot compete easily. Volkswagen and Toyota will be in serious trouble in a few years- laggards in EV tech. Matter of fact all car firms in Japan may be in serious trouble within five years.

Disruption in the auto industry worldwide. Beware when Chinese EV makers sell in the USA. Many are very very good and can undercut others. Just like in the 80s when Japan came to USA. Luckily Tesla will flourish here and other countries.

Unions and management work it out well in Germany. Why NOT here?

Please take into account my other posts on this matter. I do not want to repeat them.
1. How many of their own dollars have the unions put at risk, i.e. invested into business and stood the chance of losing?
2. Which workers that are the subject of this thread are making $18 per hour? I did not see anywhere near that figure, but I may have missed it.
3. Corporate Greed. How much of your money do you invest for the purpose of making the lives of the workers better rather than getting a good rate of return?

I am for smaller government and support capitalism. But, I think (without putting time into studying the pros and cons) I am completely in favor of tariffs on those goods that are outsourced to countries and then brought back in for sale when those countries have tariffs on goods being sold there. I believe the American worker deserves for the goverment to provide them with a level playing field within which to compete, not guaranteed outcomes or income.

EVs are 8% of new car sales in the US. They are about 20% in Europe.

1.Should they get paid the same for those 4 days as they do for 5? if so, why?
2.Is it better for the students? Quite funny when analyzing education practices, the effect on students (the primary mission of schools) was not mentioned.

After you posted this last time, someone else said it had been rising and just reached 6%. Do you have a source?

If E-vehicles have fewer parts and labor costs are lower, why are e-vehicles more expensive than the ICE version of the same vehicle?

How then to explain why unions are so popular in Germany?

Imagine a society where the person putting the tire on a car made the same amount as the people who risked their money to build a factory to build the car that the person was putting the tire on with no risk to their money.
