Quoted: 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. View Quote You have a very valid point on the issues of letting people go from in house unions. Protections are there for a reason, but a lot of times those who are the problem and need to be escorted out are the ones using the protections. It is one of the big upper hands that trade unions have versus these in house unions. Fuck around and you get laid off on a construction site without issue, but an in house union goes to a whole other level with arbitrations and such. |

Destroy the skilled middle class with all this drive-thru and trainable labor making 20-40/hr.

Quoted: 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. View Quote 40% raise brings pay to $25.20 - 44.80 per hour. That’s starting at $50,400 and topping out at $93,184. That doesn’t seem so unreasonable given inflation and current prices of vehicles that resulted in a 2022 profit of 10 billion dollars. |

I hate unions too but didn't we just have like 50 million percent inflation over the last few years?

Quoted: 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... View Quote Most guys on this site don't know what negotiating is |

Quoted: Do you want $150k base model F150? Because this is how you get that. View Quote Wrong. For the entire "$15/hr minimum wage!" debacle, the MSM has repeatedly told us how wrong it is to believe there is a link between wage hikes and price hikes, and that it never happens. All those fat cat millionaire CEO's just pull those extra wage costs out of their own wallets and prices stay the same. They promised. |

And also why, other than some IBEW folks, I've seen the unions consolidating leadership/locals in the trade unions. They're trying to remove the locals ability to control the finances, etc. As the money pot gets cut off to the powers above don't be surprised if a lot of unions slew towards the right if, and this is a big if, they can break that chain. The Dems only want them for their donations because most of the blue collar organization donations have been replaced by the tech class and leftist organizations use unions as a training ground for various other leftist organization recruiters. The trade unions are a mess thanks to the same issues afflicting the rest of the country. |
