Just like we’re all about to earn 120 month financing on auto loans, right?

If they automakers were smart (LOL) they would happily trade 40% for better ability to fire terrible employees.

But they aren't, so the big three are likely to go the way of Sears.

Article says 20% now and 5% per year for four years.  

Article also says pay is $18-32 per hour - considering I can get $16/hour at chik-fil-a it doesn't sound as outrageous as thread title makes it sound.

I had no idea. I have a 2022 GMC with a 60 month GM Financial plan. When it’s paid off I’ll dump it and get a new one. Amazed people would lock themselves into a 10 year term.

$32/hr to $38/hr immediately, 5%/year per year over the next four.

$32 is $67k a year. $38 is $79k.

Automation is the biggest threat to the UAW anyway.

In 1986 they made $16 an hour.  

Adjusted for inflation they should be making $44 and hour.

I'd guess that is the Unions initial "Ask" at the start of negotiations,  and I wouldn't be surprised if the companies "Ask" is at or near 0% along with increases in shared costs on health care and other things...  

These are typical "starting points".  Always ask high and be willing to settle for less,  because getting above your initial ask rarely happens unless you lowballed yourself right outta the gate...

They will negotitate together and eventually meet somewhere in the middle...

Who the fuck does a 10-year loan?  As an owner of a 100K+ truck I would be interested in seeing the payment structure of that because interest rates are out of orbit currently.  Hell I would be interested to see how many of the current trucks coming out will be on the road in good condition in 10 years.  We did a 5 year loan and will own it 2-2.5 years.

This is GD.  Mention any union and the hate blathering goes into hyperdrive.

Most likely the UAW will not get that but something less.  MAYBE 15% then 3.5% each year but most likely nothing greater than 10% first year.  Where the gains will be could be on the non-monetary side.  People tend to ignore this, but non-financial gains can be quite good to have in a union contract.

Another knee-jerk GD reaction.  While some union leadership MAY have democrat ties, union membership is no longer a safe democrat vote stronghold. In fact, it is just the opposite.  I work in a union shop and while there are some dyed in the wool democrats, the majority are not, and some would make GD look tame in their conspiracy theories and .gov hate.

Agreed, Walmart was around $18/hr here with benefits. Not too crazy that a manufacturing job should not pay more then Walmart.
