I recall watching Charles Payne on Fox Business suggesting that GM has a lot of inventory for this time of year and could last for quite a while. Just sayin.  You have to have vehicles that people want to buy in stock, having 58 days of stock doesn't mean that you can hold out for 57 days. You have to take every trim level into account, and while they may have enough vehicles total to last that long, if someone goes to the dealership looking for a specific model and trim, and they're out of those, that person may go to a competitor to get the trim level that they desire. Some vehicles sell out more quickly than others, and on top of all that, the Teamsters union is refusing to move any vehicles until the strike is over. GM is going to be in a bind very soon if this isn't resolved. GM will also be paying lots of overtime to make up for the lost production. Meanwhile, Ford and FCA are cranking out all they can get in case of a strike, if there isn't one, they'll have a surplus of vehicles. |

Story w/video
SPRING HILL, TN (WSMV) - A woman made a wrong turn on the highway and ended up in a situation she didn't expect. She claims picketers in front of the Spring Hill General Motors plant blocked her car and that wasn't all. Heather Langley told News4 she was getting off the interstate to visit with some friends before a business meeting in Nashville. She took the wrong exit on Friday and ended up in the middle of the UAW strike. Langley was coming from Birmingham, AL. Cell phone video captured a man walking in front of Langley's car. She said all she wanted to do was turn around and leave the Spring Hill GM plant. "He wanted me to get out of the car and talk with him and I wouldn't do it. So I turned the camera off and called 911," Langley said. During that 911 call, Langley said someone hit the bottom of her windshield causing it to crack. Her daughter with cerebral palsy was in the back seat. She started screaming. "Another man, which I did identify, hit my window with a strike sign and busted it sending glass in the car," Langley said. She now has hundreds of dollars in damage to her car. An incident report from the Maury County Sheriff's Office said a deputy was at the plant. It said he saw pieces of wood fly in the air and heard the crowd saying the car hit someone picketing. "I did nothing to provoke them except for to refuse to get out of my car and speak to them," Langley said. Langley said she still has injuries from that day. "I have scratches on my face from it and then I have it in my neck and then I have glass in my lip and then I have this in my arm from the glass," Langley said. The sheriff's office report also said the deputy reviewed his dash camera footage and it showed the man hit Langley's car with a wooden sign. He was later arrested for vandalism and assault. A judge ordered strikers to not block the entrance to the GM plant, stop cars, or engage in rowdy behavior.

Deputy’s dashcam? It’s just a woman with a cell phone, and while it does show the guy walking out in front of her, it doesn’t show anything like vandalism. Still, it’s clear that he was trying to intimidate her, ETA: seems pretty clear then, like I said, I’m not at all surprised. |

Story w/video SPRING HILL, TN (WSMV) - A woman made a wrong turn on the highway and ended up in a situation she didn't expect. She claims picketers in front of the Spring Hill General Motors plant blocked her car and that wasn't all. Heather Langley told News4 she was getting off the interstate to visit with some friends before a business meeting in Nashville. She took the wrong exit on Friday and ended up in the middle of the UAW strike. Langley was coming from Birmingham, AL. Cell phone video captured a man walking in front of Langley's car. She said all she wanted to do was turn around and leave the Spring Hill GM plant. "He wanted me to get out of the car and talk with him and I wouldn't do it. So I turned the camera off and called 911," Langley said. During that 911 call, Langley said someone hit the bottom of her windshield causing it to crack. Her daughter with cerebral palsy was in the back seat. She started screaming. "Another man, which I did identify, hit my window with a strike sign and busted it sending glass in the car," Langley said. She now has hundreds of dollars in damage to her car. An incident report from the Maury County Sheriff's Office said a deputy was at the plant. It said he saw pieces of wood fly in the air and heard the crowd saying the car hit someone picketing. "I did nothing to provoke them except for to refuse to get out of my car and speak to them," Langley said. Langley said she still has injuries from that day. "I have scratches on my face from it and then I have it in my neck and then I have glass in my lip and then I have this in my arm from the glass," Langley said. The sheriff's office report also said the deputy reviewed his dash camera footage and it showed the man hit Langley's car with a wooden sign. He was later arrested for vandalism and assault. A judge ordered strikers to not block the entrance to the GM plant, stop cars, or engage in rowdy behavior. https://bloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com/wsmv.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/3/50/35039478-de82-11e9-b8ae-a374e7c2ffdb/5d8998d2c53ba.image.jpg?resize=1200%2C675 https://bloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com/wsmv.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/3/21/321efedc-de82-11e9-a370-9b729d75092a/5d8998cde8bc4.image.jpg?resize=1200%2C675 https://bloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com/wsmv.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/3/3d/33d1cebc-de82-11e9-8a05-c71a17860c07/5d8998d0c3fe5.image.jpg?resize=1200%2C675 https://bloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com/wsmv.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/3/40/340fa638-de82-11e9-9ed4-c377713b62e3/5d8998d132c90.image.jpg?resize=1200%2C675 Objectively, it could be true, or maybe or not, but I’d not be surprised if it were.

I read today that Ford has tentative agreements on 11 of 20 major issues, FCA is also reporting that they’re making good progress, but didn’t give specifics. Both of those deals are dependent upon the GM contract being approved. They are patterned on the GM contract, so until the GM contract gets the nod, Ford and FCA are in limbo. The union only really has one strike card and they played it. They're going to stay busy, but they're going to maintain pressure on GM to see who blinks first. |

The union is a cancer eating away at the company. Time is like radiation and chemotherapy. The question is the same as always... can you kill the cancer without killing the patient. |

If you don't want to work or don't like the job, quit. I'll just buy a Toyota Tundra instead. At least I know the people at the Toyota plant in Texas aren't the ones that were protected from being fired despite work quality, and 10% of the money I pay for the truck doesn't go into some fund to support Democratic candidates, socialism, and mob bosses.

Dues are taken from employees paychecks, not from the manufacturer. In 2012, "on top of any discount, each GM car or truck made this year will carry about $1,900 in pension and retiree health care costs" (https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/a9590/pension-costs-drive-gms-discount-prices/). By 2018, "health care costs of $1,525 built into every vehicle made. Add another $675 per car for pension costs." (https://www.drivingthenation.com/general-motors-a-legacy-of-problems/) Average price of a GM vehicle was $35,974 last year. (Source) 15% of $35,974 = $5,396.10 in UAW labor cost plus $2,200 in pension and healthcare costs. |

You're right, but a significant percentage of the purchase price goes to pay for those UAW members healthcare and retirement, and even more goes to pay the overpriced UAW labor (which in turn contributes to UAW through their dues). All things considered, he grossly underestimated the percent of each UAW built vehicle that contributes to the UAW and their membership. Quote HistoryQuoted:

That $55 an hour, or whatever they call it is an extremely misleading number. The old guys may be averaging that, but they old guys aren’t the majority any longer. Newer employees make far less on the hour, and their benefits are not nearly as good. Union dues also make up 2 1/2 hours of pay per month, when you consider that each individual builds or contributes to thousands of vehicles per month, that small amount is inconsequential. Even indirectly, very little money from a vehicle purchase will ever make it to the UAW. |
