Tell the CEO'S to stop enriching themselves and give their employees a fair share
Meanwhile at the non UAW plants in the U.S., the foreign brands, time to expand. Remember that GM actually had 50% market share at one time! Now 17%.
This leader is making over 500,000$ a year to talk.
And what are the CEO's getting paid to talk?
YEP! It's ridiculous. Money, money, money. They want more. That's exactly why our cars cost so much
The Jeep dealers can’t give your electric Jeeps away. As long as it takes to get your way, the car manufacturers will love a long strike. Jeep dealers are not selling Any electric Jeeps.
The UAW is the reason why American cars are considered a joke and a big reason why everyone is buying up Teslas. The only thing this will lead to is the American taxpayer paying your salary.
Tesla is begging for more government subsidies as the liquidate their cars because Teslas are already out dated in this extremely fast paced ever changing car market. Toyota is about to release a solid slate sodium battery that will out perform Tesla and Tesla knows it so that’s why they been slashing the prices. This is next year these batteries are expected to hit the market
@@smithil8997Tesla outdated? Toyota pushing out EVs? Nice joke there. 😂
That's total BS@@smithil8997

@@phoenix5054I live in a metropolis and hardly see a Tesla. I see Rams, Silverados and F150s everywhere I go, everytime I drive. Tell me more about these Teslas 🤡
👍win !!
It should be called the Bend Over Strike!
With Big 3 management capitulation to the force-feeding the market with EVs, today's employee numbers for both direct assembly and OEMs will not be required thereby reducing the former power of the UAW. EVs require fewer parts and assembly steps to put them on the road in addition to overall maintenance. It will be interesting to see how things get resolved all within a period of economic and political chaos on the heels of a very divisive national election.
I like you that’s what I’m talking about. Come with facts❤️
@@truthhurts9246funny the same was said of gasoline by horse traders.
@@truthhurts9246no one wants to discuss that. The trillions of dollars it's going to take. America alone using 1/3 of the global resources for batteries. The majority of this country's grid is from the 60'-70's. Outdated as ever. We're somehow magically going to create twice the electricity? A minimum of 2 million quick charge stations being built. Quick being 25-30
Minutes. Constant power outages in this country all the time. That doesn't even begin to discuss the fact that the overwhelming majority of consumers DO NOT WANT an EV
Saddest part is that EV batteries pollute the environment. I thought they were supposed to make it cleaner? Even the production of the batteries pollute. There is no recycling plan in place for these batteries that I'm aware of, but if so, someone please let me know. Not being cynical, I'm curious about that
@@carlam3879 yes EV's are not the answer and no one cares and it's all about profit. Mining the minerals for these batteries is going to devastate (as usual) the poorest countries. Found this interesting article and quote. It's not a long term solution.😕
If Americans continue to depend on cars at the current rate, by 2050 the US alone would need triple the amount of lithium currently produced for the entire global market, which would have dire consequences for water and food supplies, biodiversity, and Indigenous rights.
So happy we broke our union at our plant and voted it out, now we get better pay less lazy people and not paying the union so the reps could take their yearly trip to Florida all paid by us. For nothing. And my company also gave us guys that been there 8 yrs up over a months vacation and I make over 70,000 a yr. New guys start off at 54,000.
My hero I hope they get everything they want! He's not just fighting for his union but for all workers in this country
You need to find out what Ford doing with Romeo plant like the Illinois factory.
YOU ARE FIRED!!!🔥☄️🔥☄️🔥☄️🔥
This is exactly why cars cost so much. WE live in Michigan. We know what the workers are paid and how they lay people off all the time. Both sides are ridiculous IMO. The workers are paid quite well when production is in demand. There's a long history of union demands and raises for everyone, particularly those in union office positions. Just sayin'
It’s easy to get in his court until he talks about the companies like they’re an evil. He’s got an issue with the CEO pay but the company serves many stakeholders… other unions, suppliers, salaried workers, communities that depend on the factories. These tactics may have worked in 1936 but by 1970 and 1980 the Big 3 faced huge pressures and those fixed costs almost killed them and the UAW with them. Good luck with these divisive tactics. It’s possible to win now but end up losing plants later.
I agree its getting scary now.
I work for the big three and I hundred percent agree with you
The company doesnt give a crap about any other stakeholders but the shareholders and the executives. Your a fool if you think otherwise.
Those parts supliers would be in china if the UAW hadnt fought and won US built requirements.
The salaried workers arent any better than the temps, and you would have the temps sacrifice DECADES working at McDonalds pay for a thin hope they might get to start a career at GM starting at the bottom, even after years of hard work.
And as for the communities, lol, look at what contracting worker pay has done in the neighborhoods around the autoplants. They used to be vibrant, now they are ghettos, and all because the UAW was a sold out scab organization for nearly 40 years.
Go find a boot to lick somewhere else.
No system is suppose to say the same. There should always be progression and fear shouldn’t dictate moves. There’s also anti worker trends happening within industries now. People need livable wages. At least the CEOs can afford to buy the products they make.
Sounds like he’s already made up his mind. There’s no maybe about it.
Made up his mibd to not bend over and take it like his predecessors
@@benjaminhenderson5025 my point being there’s nothing hypothetical about it. He’s using definitive language, meaning he’s already chosen to strike in his mind.
You make a good salary. Just do what your paid to do. The job isn’t that hard.
You do it then since it isn’t that hard
@@liveesunflower no one is forcing you to work for a car company. You can quit and go work somewhere else that pays you more. It’s all up to you
@@LucasJackson-i7eOr..hear me out..the job they currently have can pay them more
I hope they don't gove you guy's nothing your all over paid thats the reason cars are so expensive you get to much already the companies should fail and you all be replaced
I've detested unions my whole life. Parasites all!
My first job working in a paper mill was my first union job......and last.
Nice story chump.
You should have just pulled yourself up by your bootstraps.
@@benjaminhenderson5025 What'n hell are you talking about?
Amen
Workers wanting an eye watering 50% raise and then outraged they don’t get it, shouldn’t be so greedy.
Minimum wage jobs got a 100 percent wage increase across the country now make 15 to 20 an hour why should these people have to stay at 20 to 25 an hour on average and it’s 36 percent which would mean around $2 dollar each year over the next 4 years
BS@@kevinjackson313
BS---get real---can you do math? I doubt it---follow the union boss right over the edge of a cliff (like lemmings following the pied piper). If unions are successful, and the manufacturers close plants and move overseas, or move to 100% robotics, then you will be out of a job---not surprised you can't figure that out. Start thinking for yourself!@@truthhurts9246

Unions most times parasites.
Did you learn to put that sentence together in a non-union school 🤣🤡
@@garyfleming4101its cute you think he can learn.
@@benjaminhenderson5025 I'm kinda surprised he spelled parasites correctly. I think it's cute people can call someone parasite that goes to week 40+ hrs a week, pays taxes, and doesn't collect government benefits of any kind. I kinda thought thought us union workers were some of the last people paying a good amount of their income to pay for the actual parasites, not saying everyone collecting benefits is one either. Maybe if I was born rich and just sat in the lap of luxury and used my inheritance to become a shareholder and trade stocks while snorting blow and jamming tricks 40 plus hours a week I can work my way out parasite status.
My husband worked with a union I won't name when he was younger. I can confirm that what you said is true. All talk. Very little actual work being done by the union office workers (in general)
Stand with workers worldwide. Let the proletariat rise!
And be poor, keep following the democrat party orders.
@@LucasJackson-i7eRed States are the poorest and consistently need money from Blue States. If you wanna stay poor, vote red
There's not enogh cpu chips right now 2 build cars. The big 3 might welcome a strike.
🤔 go out on strike at the smallest plant with 50 workers🪧 but still build cars for the company at the other locations. Does that make sense
It makes a lot of sense because those plants won’t be able to build cars, if they don’t get parts from the other companies. People would just be coming to work and stand around getting paid for nothing. They will hit the plants that a vital to the big 3.
No one said they are only targeting small locations, he just said that they wouldn’t strike all locations at once, but most probable they will target major plants at first to show strength
Running out of parts could take a while in the meantime, as “knock out 77” said, workers will be busy in those factories making profit for the car companies. Not hard to understand
@@Summersoft88it doesn't take that long to run out of parts. Do you think they have giant surpluses of everything laying around? We literally run out of things in under a week at my plant if something happens with a dye, or a independent supplier and that's if the storage bank is full to begin with. They don't just keep months of fenders laying around 🤦
Actually it makes a lot of sense. By striking at strategic locations they make the big 3 shut down, causing them to pay unemployment rather than draining the strike fund.
