You tell me, can those autoworkers freely choose to not associate with the UAW and still keep their job with the automakers?

Surely the door of freedom of association should swing both ways.

There's a hundreds of thousands of employers in this country and countless opportunities for self employment.  There is absolutely no reason to suffer a shitbag employer.

Of course people should be allowed to associate with other people or groups freely.

If you don't let them associate freely, it's so much harder to find socialist enclaves and communist sympathizers.

No, and you know well and good that isn't what I said.

But some socialists and communists associate freely into groups, often known as unions.

What about those workers that would choose to associate freely with their employer, but who are barred from doing so by the union? What about those wanting to work, but who often receive threats of vandalism, property damage, and even physical harm if they dare cross the picket line?

Do those people have freedom of (and/or from) association, too?

If GM could shed the UAW they could lop $5.00 per hour off of every legacy employee's hourly rate and people would line up around the block for those jobs. It's not like the UAW members are doing jobs nobody else wants, no need for illegals.

This is a headline for "eff unions"

Same Union has 850 million in strike funds, the interest of which will cover these members insurance. The UAW will get paid back for whatever they spend on strikes. It's a no win situation for GM.

But hey, it sounds like a zinger right!

One would think that employers would get it through their skulls that if they simply treated their employees fairly, and decently unions would probably go away....Nope, you get morons with "God complexes"  that get their jollies off fucking with their employees......and there  are hundreds of thousands of businesses in this country with atrocious turnover rates, and stupid owners that can't figure out why.

Short of shuttering all of their plants and reopening elsewhere, GM can't get rid of the Union. The Union is going to force new members to join one way or another, because they like money and power.

So it's a Catch 22 for car manufacturing companies... spend billions moving equipment, or spend billions on unions.

What federal law?

Nothing prevents GM from hiring a bunch of temps, sending salaried employees to the production line, and resuming operations as normal.  Union gets locked out, strike goes on for years, and the UAW runs out of money.  The few remaining picketers can either retire or go back to work at 1/2 pay.

Cat defeated the UAW in the late 90s this way, and so could GM - if only it had the balls.  Without a contract in place, GM has no obligation to use union labor.

Nope. The loan has been satisfied.

The problem is that the .gov wanted the company to pay them back with a certain percentage of stock shares. Those shares are underperforming so the .gov has not recovered the full amount of the loan. But that’s their own dumb fault for asking for stocks instead of actual money.

GM has fulfilled their end of the loan, and did so a few years earlier than expected.

GM was not bailed out, the UAW was bailed out.

Today's GM is not your father's GM.  Only the name is the same, (well, other assets also).

GM bondholders got it driven deep and twisted, they would have done better in a conventional bankruptcy court.

The old GM shareholders lost it all, which is as it should be, but the bondholders lost part of what should have been theirs to the UAW.

You know who to thank.
