This was the plan of the UAW. Rather than have their entire 150,000 membership go on strike all at once, sucking the strike fund dry within days instead of weeks, they only had important sections of diffent plants officially strike. The rest of the plant can't function without that section so the company is then forced to layoff workers, making them eligible for unemployment benefits instead. This will help the strike fund last longer, and give the union the ability to weather a much longer battle with the companies. The companies are forced to pay out unemployment benefits so this strike is costing extra on top of lost productivity. It's a brilliant strategy.
I bet if the Board of directors compensation was determined by the workers like the workers compensation is determined by the board of directors, things would be a lot different in this country.
The worst part is Ford CEO might only make 20 million this year. My gosh, how will his family eat? Those ungrateful workers making $16 an hour that can't afford the cars they built should be ashamed of themselves for wanting one extra penny from the trillions of dollars they've played a key role in making for multi-millionaires/billionaires. So glad some media are exposing their selfishness.
If it's so simple, why don't the union workers just build their own manufacturing plant and make their own cars. Then they can 100% control their own wages🙈🙊🙉
No doubt that's part of the UAW strategy. Strike at only certain places so that the auto companies have to lay off those who are affected, but the auto companies pay for it.

Over the past several decades, the UAW forced many factories to close down, down-size, or move to non-union shops or source from overseas. Surely, many of those union members on strike now will see some of their co-workers get pay/benefit raises while they themselves will lose their jobs.
@@rblongfellow unions are for the oldest and often laziest performers. When the layoffs come, the newest union members have to be fired first no matter what. Those are the rules.
@@explorermike19 unions are your only defense against corporate plutocrats that would just as soon turn you into a slave if it were legal. Staying united and striking proves the point in and of itself that workers are the ones creating the wealth of the ruling class. If the workers don't work the money does not flow to the top 🎩. I don't care about who is lazy and who is not. There are lazy old people and there are lazy young people. There are lazy rich people and lazy poor people. Laziness can be the product of many things but a common cause is apathy. Apathy is often the result of feeling powerless. When your working class is powerless it leads to apathy, resentment, laziness, self destruction. When you empower the working class around a common goal you'd be surprised how motivated a lazy man can be. Stay united and fight the bloodsuckers. Don't put your fellow workers down. They want you divided. They want the carpenter to look down on the custodian.
Being in a union may help the members, but it never helps the rest of the workers. Usually they end up not working too cause there's no movement within the plant. Thats the downside. Its not really a win win situation. Not everyone can afford to be in one. People just want to work. Plus, taxpayers should never have to bail out these mega corporations either. They have been in business since man existed. They should have more than enough money to last them and their families a 100 years.
Idiotic move for the UAW. Nobody can afford new cars so the supply is starting to get back logged. Now the manufacturer can shut down production and let their supply diminish. This will keep inventory low and prices high. The manufacturers will reap all the benefits, blame it on the strike, and the union employees are going to get shafted 🙉🙊🙈
The strike doesn’t affect all factories, only 3. Affordability of new cars is not the fault of the workers, it’s actually the dealers that forced prices up hence why ford threatened them in 2022.
I wonder where they could find hundreds of thousands of workers to work for half that? Imagine the price of a new car if they get a 45% raise over 4 years.
First im going to eat. Then im going to shelter I may buy 1/2 tank of bugout gas. If theirs anything leftover i might ponder paying some taxes....but i doubt anything will be leftover.

@@davidrobertson6014 , Thanks, I had heard that some states don't allow unemployment if your layoffs are the result of strike action elsewhere. Thought that was kind of a lousy statute. But if true, then if uaw is trying to keep members at least partially compensated - and conserve strike fund at same time, it should enter into their decisions on strike targets.
It is about time a major strike is here. Unions are very important, and I have been a union worker foe decades. Unions protect the workers rights, safety regulations, working hours, and fair wages. A 40% increase over three years is extremely low and is needed for workers to catch up to inflation. Corporate greed is not capitalism.
Economy works better when middle class has more money in their pocket to spend in their community, rather than the 0.01% mega millionaires/billionaires hoarding all the wealth from the American people
@@jacoblee9455 that protection is temporary and limited, with enough pain, Ford will be able to get around it...especially if Ford shows that the union isn't making a good faith attempt to negotiate
If the union walks from an engine or transmission plant the company's will shut it all down. In a week or two they'll settle on a number for a raise, maybe get the tier system modified but they'll never get that 32 hour week with 40 hour pay.
At that point, the auto plants may as well hire the millions of illegals in this country and they'll certainly take those jobs at those pay the big 3 wants to pay!!!
@@donna8243 They do. Even the workers agree that that's an unreasonable request. It's just part of that presidents game plan. He seems to be doing well, and sticking to his word.
if your pay is 21 million a year, i'm thinking you can afford to take a pay cut. If the average worker can get by at 50k, 60k a year... I'm thinking that the CEO can make it with even 150k a year.
Wentzville for GM. Proud to be a striking member of the UAW so we can claw back some of the fair compensation we gave up to keep the auto industry afloat. Now that they're making record profits year over year it's time for them to fulfill their end of the bargain and make us whole once more.
STRATEGIC: Strike where it will also result in the halt of production at other facilities. Workers that are laid off still get partial pay via unemployment insurance!
Exactly. Rumours are the big 3 wanted everyone on strike to deplete the strike fund to bleed Union members dry. This makes it so the strike fund can last indefinitely and the big 3 won't know what plants to idle. This costs them way more in time and resources, great bargaining stance for the Union.

@@count-ivannightly8933 It doesn't make sense to pay unskilled and uneducated workers the pay that they are asking for in this strilke. Besides, Chevy, Ford, and GM vehicles are junk. This last decent cars made by the big 3 were in the 1960's and 1970's.
And here's the part unions don't like telling people. "If the company doesn't want to give you what you're asking for, then we can't do anything about that"
The Union kills jobs. They ask for too much and the employees end up losing their jobs all together. Be thankful you have a job and make a decent living because it can dissappear in an instant.
Don't ask enough IMO. They look at the math and saw the record profits making. While we get peanuts. Time for these business to learn its place. Without workers they are nothing. Love that we are at last putting these business in place.
A lot of people fought very hard for these basic human rights. Corporate plutocrats have been gradually stripping them from honest hard working people because of ideas like "just be grateful you have a job". These corporations should just be grateful they have access to a highly skilled workforce, roads, high speed internet, and government subsidies. It's time to get their greedy snouts out of the communal bucket
So? Why does it matter to you since you're clearly not a UAW member? If the companies wanted to stay in america so badly they should've paid them fair wages.
I work in the other buildings. They stopped production. Ford stopped ordering parts so they can lay off the 600. We can't do production due to paint being shut down. Paint can't because final is shut down. All sub contractors were also laid off. That's including the uaw 900 ones that won't ever reach 20$ an hr
I'm actually at work doing 12hr shifts. Working isn't the problem. The problem is the new people hired in that immediately gotten laid off hoping to eventually get the pay including other 900 departments being told they'll get the same pay as everyone else is being lied to. They're staying because of false hope to surpass fast food, to live off of 1 income & are believing in lies. That is a real issue that should be fought for the same way fast food fought for higher pay. When they were fighting everyone told them go work for the big 3. Now the big 3 are fighting everyone is telling us go work for fast food. Clearly there's a problem that needs attention. I do feel bad while I'm working They're only getting 500$ a week that will be taxed
Those already overpaid strikers are already making on average $31.50 (average salary of auto assembly line worker). They are doing they are doing the same simple task over and over, it's nonskilled labor. They now want 6 weeks vacation and a 40% raise?! Lay them all off and hire replacements or better yet do what Tesla and Toyota did and move to non union states. Their is a reason that Auto in Texas is growing rapidly. These strikers are going to go from people overpaid 60k a year to working fast food. You can't just demand more and steal your way into a comfortable upper middle class lifestyle. The raise they want would put them at 89K for a non skilled job! How about work and apply yourself. Sacrifice and make the harder choices in life to get there not just demand the life for no more input. LAZY!
NO ONE deserves to work for 32 hours and get paid for 40! However, if the CEO can get a 30% pay raise, then the employees deserve the same. As far as pensions, today only city, state or federal employers offer a pension. That’s primarily because the tax payers will ALWAYS get stuck paying for that. Corporations operate differently. They’re more concerned about their bottom line (stock prices). That’s just capitalism and how it works. Bottom line, they should pay the UAW workers a fair wage for the hard work they do. Management and the CEOs cannot do this work. The employees deserve a raise, profit sharing and excellent medical benefits while they are employed.
why not, thats normal in switzerland since decades. the issue is people are nut using crypto and instead continue to use the pyramid scheme fiat currencies which all are doomed by their nature. but this requieres first grade mathematics to understand, so 99% do not understand that and cry and point fingers at individuals. there are too many old people and the system will always crash inevitably.
32 hour 4 day work week is exactly what this country needs, we are all tired and haggered of working so much for so little pay only made worse by high inflation. We need time to rest and strategize how to deal with inflation. I can barely schedule doctor appointments or run errands when i have to do grocery shopping and pay bills and im single! Theres people out there that have to take care of families ontop of all of this!
😂 Taxpayers will always get stuck with pensions, my guy there were decades where pension systems functioned just fine, and even allowed companies to grow and *gasp* have loyal employees proficient at their jobs, who were bought into the company through it's continued success via pensions after retirement. That's been replaced with a 401k plan, where I'm now instead of getting 70% of my wages, I'm now getting a matching 3-7% capped at like 20k. The math leaves a massive margin on the side of companies. Moving to 401k plans is what killed the stability that created the middle class, lead to long lasting retailers, and the bypeoduct enforced the Quarterly driven mentality.
There is zero dissent in the union. These layoffs are done very publicly and blasted through corporate media to impact public opinion. The big 3 is well aware that majority of people hate the auto workers.
This is exactly what the Union was aiming for. By forcing the company to layoff employees means that they'll get UE instead of depleting the strike fund so the Union can strike indefinitely if necessary.
CEO pay largest carmakers GM $29M, Ford $21M, Honda: $2.3M, Nissan $4.5M, Toyota: $6.7M. GM CEO sounded indignant about how much she makes! $26M more than Honda’s CEO and Honda reinvested in the company also!
They should lay off the CEO who makes 22 million a year, replace him with someone who makes 22 million over their whole career and redistribute the wealth to the workers who actually make the products at these facilities.

Rather than have their entire 150,000 membership go on strike all at once, sucking the strike fund dry within days instead of weeks, they only had important sections of diffent plants officially strike. The rest of the plant can't function without that section so the company is then forced to layoff workers, making them eligible for unemployment benefits instead. This will help the strike fund last longer, and give the union the ability to weather a much longer battle with the companies. The companies are forced to pay out unemployment benefits so this strike is costing extra on top of lost productivity. It's a brilliant strategy.
I bet if the Board of directors compensation was determined by the workers like the workers compensation is determined by the board of directors, things would be a lot different in this country.
The worst part is Ford CEO might only make 20 million this year. My gosh, how will his family eat? Those ungrateful workers making $16 an hour that can't afford the cars they built should be ashamed of themselves for wanting one extra penny from the trillions of dollars they've played a key role in making for multi-millionaires/billionaires. So glad some media are exposing their selfishness.
$16/hour??!! Which plant are you talking about?! I don't know any plant workers getting paid that low
If it's so simple, why don't the union workers just build their own manufacturing plant and make their own cars. Then they can 100% control their own wages🙈🙊🙉
They get paid 40hr. Keep spreading lies

The union is billion dollar industry, they can do it
@@JohnSmith-xu7evhmmm?? 40 an hour
why spend the strike fund when you can get the company to just lay you off... still get the same outcome...
No doubt that's part of the UAW strategy. Strike at only certain places so that the auto companies have to lay off those who are affected, but the auto companies pay for it.

This is bad timing to be on strike. People are still being layed off as we speak. Its bad enough they got to compete with AL on the job application.
It’s just speeding up the transition. Unions are a liability in modern times and will be the downfall of American made vehicles.
There has to be an incentive for a company to be in a particular part of the Country. They can afford to move to another State.

Good. They need to stop reaping the benefits from corporate welfare
@@garrettmetting6938 but notice Governor Whitmer supporting the strike, but it's her ass kissing Bidens EVs plan that has these businesses all messed up.
Over the past several decades, the UAW forced many factories to close down, down-size, or move to non-union shops or source from overseas. Surely, many of those union members on strike now will see some of their co-workers get pay/benefit raises while they themselves will lose their jobs.
Wouldn't happen if workers stayed united.
@@rblongfellow unions are for the oldest and often laziest performers. When the layoffs come, the newest union members have to be fired first no matter what. Those are the rules.
@@explorermike19 unions are your only defense against corporate plutocrats that would just as soon turn you into a slave if it were legal. Staying united and striking proves the point in and of itself that workers are the ones creating the wealth of the ruling class. If the workers don't work the money does not flow to the top 🎩. I don't care about who is lazy and who is not. There are lazy old people and there are lazy young people. There are lazy rich people and lazy poor people. Laziness can be the product of many things but a common cause is apathy. Apathy is often the result of feeling powerless. When your working class is powerless it leads to apathy, resentment, laziness, self destruction. When you empower the working class around a common goal you'd be surprised how motivated a lazy man can be. Stay united and fight the bloodsuckers. Don't put your fellow workers down. They want you divided. They want the carpenter to look down on the custodian.

I have question. Is this new contract for all ford assembly locations in America?
Being in a union may help the members, but it never helps the rest of the workers. Usually they end up not working too cause there's no movement within the plant. Thats the downside. Its not really a win win situation. Not everyone can afford to be in one. People just want to work.
Plus, taxpayers should never have to bail out these mega corporations either. They have been in business since man existed. They should have more than enough money to last them and their families a 100 years.
Meanwhile they run commercials about how they make vehicles in America and employ the most "hourly auto workers".... laughable
They walked off the job.
Can’t wait till they need to rehire and have to hear “no one wants to work”
Idiotic move for the UAW. Nobody can afford new cars so the supply is starting to get back logged. Now the manufacturer can shut down production and let their supply diminish. This will keep inventory low and prices high. The manufacturers will reap all the benefits, blame it on the strike, and the union employees are going to get shafted 🙉🙊🙈
The strike doesn’t affect all factories, only 3. Affordability of new cars is not the fault of the workers, it’s actually the dealers that forced prices up hence why ford threatened them in 2022.
They only had 4 days of parts? I find that difficult to believe.
"no choice but to lay them off."
so we just gonna pretend profits don't exist?
You can only house a certain amount of large parts before you gotta shut it down
I ain’t paying 75,000 for a mustang just cuz a worker wants to get paid 100,0000 for a manufacturing job😂

Under federal law, you cannot be fired for participating in a protected strike or picketing against your employer.
They aren’t being fired Aristotle, they are being layed off. It’s different. If a strike ran a company bankrupt and closed its door… would that be illegal too?

Does Michigan allow unemployment benefits due to layoffs that are strike related?
They should, these people didn't walk off the job. I doubt ford will be giving sub pay if that's in the contract per usual layoffs lol.
@@davidrobertson6014 , Thanks, I had heard that some states don't allow unemployment if your layoffs are the result of strike action elsewhere. Thought that was kind of a lousy statute. But if true, then if uaw is trying to keep members at least partially compensated - and conserve strike fund at same time, it should enter into their decisions on strike targets.
Yes they do. They will get money, but unemployment in Michigan is crap.
In Michigan. A layoff is a layoff no matter the reason
Not true. In Florida and Michigan workers are not entitled to unemployment if the layoff is the result of a strike.

STRATEGIC: Strike where it will also result in the halt of production at other facilities. Workers that are laid off still get partial pay via unemployment insurance!
Really smart, helps the union fund last longer.
Exactly. Rumours are the big 3 wanted everyone on strike to deplete the strike fund to bleed Union members dry. This makes it so the strike fund can last indefinitely and the big 3 won't know what plants to idle. This costs them way more in time and resources, great bargaining stance for the Union.
Strikers don't qualify for unemployment. The worker laid off were on strike so no unemployment

These strikers are going to go from people overpaid 60k a year to working fast food. You can't just demand more and steal your way into a comfortable upper middle class lifestyle. The raise they want would put them at 89K for a non skilled job! How about work and apply yourself.

NO ONE deserves to work for 32 hours and get paid for 40! However, if the CEO can get a 30% pay raise, then the employees deserve the same. As far as pensions, today only city, state or federal employers offer a pension. That’s primarily because the tax payers will ALWAYS get stuck paying for that. Corporations operate differently. They’re more concerned about their bottom line (stock prices). That’s just capitalism and how it works. Bottom line, they should pay the UAW workers a fair wage for the hard work they do. Management and the CEOs cannot do this work. The employees deserve a raise, profit sharing and excellent medical benefits while they are employed.
Several organized construction trades still have pensions for their members, that’s about it in the private sector
Even though not a related field nurses often get paid what was called the Baylor plan 24-36 hours pd for 40 and anything above the 24-36 was OT.

there are too many old people and the system will always crash inevitably.
32 hour 4 day work week is exactly what this country needs, we are all tired and haggered of working so much for so little pay only made worse by high inflation. We need time to rest and strategize how to deal with inflation. I can barely schedule doctor appointments or run errands when i have to do grocery shopping and pay bills and im single! Theres people out there that have to take care of families ontop of all of this!
😂 Taxpayers will always get stuck with pensions, my guy there were decades where pension systems functioned just fine, and even allowed companies to grow and *gasp* have loyal employees proficient at their jobs, who were bought into the company through it's continued success via pensions after retirement.
That's been replaced with a 401k plan, where I'm now instead of getting 70% of my wages, I'm now getting a matching 3-7% capped at like 20k.
The math leaves a massive margin on the side of companies.
Moving to 401k plans is what killed the stability that created the middle class, lead to long lasting retailers, and the bypeoduct enforced the Quarterly driven mentality.
If any UAW voted biden, you got what you deserved. You helped usher in a push for your own demise.
Not a knock off effect, but a response from Ford that will undoubtedly cause dissent in the union ranks.
There is zero dissent in the union. These layoffs are done very publicly and blasted through corporate media to impact public opinion. The big 3 is well aware that majority of people hate the auto workers.
This is exactly what the Union was aiming for. By forcing the company to layoff employees means that they'll get UE instead of depleting the strike fund so the Union can strike indefinitely if necessary.
CEO pay largest carmakers GM $29M, Ford $21M, Honda: $2.3M, Nissan $4.5M, Toyota: $6.7M. GM CEO sounded indignant about how much she makes! $26M more than Honda’s CEO and Honda reinvested in the company also!
