Stellantis fires THOUSANDS of UAW workers after HISTORIC contract!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 май 2024
- Does Record Contracts = Record Layoffs? Weeks after agreeing to a new deal, Stellantis has informed Stellantis they will lay off over 3,000 UAW workers from plants that currently employ 10,000 workers. The UAW leadership pushed the Big 3 Automakers and now they are pushing back when the cameras aren't rolling.
With the UAW's support of the industry push of electric vehicles, did management secure long term job security for themselves over the job security of thousands of workers?
0:00 UAW LOST
1:29 UAW got screwed
3:58 UAW phony friends
4:35 THOUSANDS LAID OFF
5:33 Hurricane & 4xe a SCAM?
8:41 A merger of layoffs

Any union management that has photo ops with A0C & Corey Bush should have been a BIG RED FLAG.
They should support anti-union candidates instead?
Brainwashing.
@@pulsatingsausageboy2076 with toothless, shortsighted imbeciles like those who run the UAW, who wouldnt be anti union. Socialism and corporatism did this, not free market capitalism.
They should support candidates who are pro economy and capitalist not socialist.
@@JM21999 A labor union is literally a socialist construct. And the capitalists are the same ones that want you to work your ass off for $14 an hour and no benefits.
Not just record layoffs. 100% job loss.
I remember when I worked in manufacturing and our unionized plant hired some former UAW workers. They were among the sorriest examples of workers that we'd ever seen and they only lasted a week because they were so lazy. We were so happy to be rid of them because they made things extra difficult for those around them.
They were happy to. Happy to leave LOL
The laziest workers I've ever seen are Union workers. Overpaid and under worked. My uncle was a UAW worker in Flint. 30 years on the Job, retired with a full pension. He didn't own squat in his lifetime. A little 2 bedroom shack was his home that he bought in the 60s for less than 10 thousand dollars back then. I have no idea where all his money went.
He was lazy because he lived modestly... Wow ok. 😂@@gregorylyon1004
I’m a current 10 year Uaw worker. Your observations may be askew. I work my ass off and have been injured at this job more my than 20 plus years in construction. To compare yesterday’s work force to todays is intellectually irresponsible. There a “lazy” workers in every single job available on this planet. Your one sided assessment is just that, one sided and biased.
Many channels warned that stellantis was going to destroy Dodge, Jeep, and Chrysler after they took over
Chrysler has never been known for high quality. They make a lot of nice looking junk.
The auto industry is the last big manufacturing apparatus we have in this country. We sold off all of the American pride companies we had. If those foreign owners decided to stop making for us we would be SOL!! They love money so they are not going to do that, but they will reduce quality for the same or higher price. Who else we going to buy from?? Japan does not have this problem, they protect their markets.
Stellantis has raised prices, as a percentage, more than any other car company. They absolutely are killing Dodge, Jeep, Ram.
Who has $100K+ laying around to buy a truck! That’s like a 60% hike and very little to show for it.
I will never buy a Chinese GM or their other junk names either. The 90% of GM is in China now and China as good as owns their plants over there.
Very well done exposition on tha UAW. I belonged to to unions as a welder and for the thousands that got picked out of my pockets I had to put up with corrupt coworkers who deliberately slowed down progress on job projects. Formalized Unions are a good idea whose time has passed. They breed corruption and incompetence.
Unions protect the lazy and the incompetent. Good workers don't need a union because the company values their productivity.
Or when one of the lazy and the incompetent try to make the valued ones look bad, its still a "screw up move up" pyramid in most cases @@LoveClassicMusic0205
teamster here and 100% agree that unions as they now run are outdated and need to reform or GO away
I worked in 4 different workplaces with unions . I worked in a hotel as busboy then roomier ice waiter and we had Bob White as president of Canadian UAW . Well my pay back then was only a few dollars above minus wage and so many deductions I was taking home a lot less than if I was working without a union . Another restaurant I worked as a cook we had teamsters union and the union for restaurants rated me out to bigshot chef w
AMEN UNIONS ARE ALL ABOUT DUES!!!! ALL DOES PEOPLE VOTED FOR BIDEN
The new contract will now motivate the big3 to: a) accelerate the automations to reduce the workers b) reduce future USA plant expansions and instead expand in Mexico instead.
You forgot something. c) Big Three file for bankruptcy.
Agreed! Or in my case for multiple jobs, you want a raise or get a raise that money has to come from somewhere, if not an increased budget than a lay off. Normally as the "newer" employee I got the axe, because making your team of designers work OT is WAY cheaper than having a entire employee, with benefits, etc. Thats why I went freelance almost a decade ago. Other designers say I over think the "head games" that are played. Well here we are with this. games are being played.
Those big contracts are not sustainable if you try to sell cars people can’t afford or don’t want. Ask an airline employee. Heavy jet maintenance went to low cost countries.
China
I worked with unions and was betrayed by them the very next day boss knew and so did everybody else I went to the union only asked them please make checks ate done correctly and on time . The next time a guy I knew from highschool worked for government run unity told me all these unions stick up for all the lazy people you can never fire them unless they murder someone. He told me that's why when I went to all these government offices and institutions I never got hired they make sure only their kids get hired .
Time will tell whether or not this is a real win for the UAW workers. I do know that it will be a big loss for those of us on fixed income. Many of us, who retired middle class, are already priced out of the new(ish) car market. We're cutting back as much as we practically can on our car usage to save money and stretch as much life as we can out of the cars we currently own.
My daily driver is now at the point where coworkers are saying "I got one for my kid".
How's everybody gonna take when they shut the car off on demand. "Oh your social credit score dropped below the required standard. I'm sorry your vehicle is disabled until your score improves."
The big 3 went broke paying pension funds for retiree's. They are still paying workers who retired in the 1990s. That's why the vehicle is 80 grand for a half ton junker today
Where I worked one of our union factories went on strike, and the union leaders wouldn’t compromise. So the company caved to the union, they became the highest paid workers in the company. That lasted for two years, the company expanded two other non-Union factories and closed the union factory.
I am a member of a great union. I make really good money. But the one thing my union does that really pisses me off is they protect workers who are absolute garbage! If the big three auto makers had workers who produced quality products, they would be doing a lot better. Now I’m not saying they are all bad but the bad always give the whole a black eye! And the politicians they give their money to don’t give a rats ass about them! I hate the Democratic Party! The republicans don’t do any better. I’m a third party voter and I don’t see that changing any time soon!
My dad had multiple supervisors that wanted to keep him. But he didn't have the seniority to survive layoffs. Quality of work is not allowed to be calculated as part of determining employee retention. This is why I refused to join his union or my brother in laws.
When the union protects the scum harder than the cream it's a wonder when union members are surprised that some of us can't handle the stench.
Ask who does the hiring ?
@@jeffreyrudolph5061 Hiring is a single choice done in a single moment. Once they're in and inside the union they can drop their performance and fester like cancer. Unions protect their bad eggs as if they're gold because if they allow companies to get rid of the poor performers, they know the union leadership will be next in line.
A little off topic but, police department around the country use that same formula with their officers.
@@spyder61man I disliked unions because of my childhood. I absolutely detest them because of teacher and police unions. They're a pox upon humanity.
Honestly, when I heard what the union made per hour and all their benefits, I was surprised that every vehicle manufacturer doesn't make their vehicles in Mexico.
Spot on! The average Joe is the one that is gonna get screwed. I don’t blame Stellantis, I blame the UAW management. They knew what would happen once the deal went into place. Stellantis upcoming business model is the nail in the coffin for the UAW workers. On a side note…I will never buy a car that has paid subscriptions. If I buy the car then I own the car and it has the options in it then I EXPECT to be able to use the cars. One more view on this…if they plan on making fewer cars and jacking up the price then and subscription fees what is the over cost going to be to the consumer? The average Joe will never be able to buy a car again. So only the well off and elite will be able to own a car? Makes me wonder if they have a backroom deal with the socialist side of the government. Just hit me….if say 3/4 to 4/5 of the population cannot afford a car then making pure electric vehicles isn’t so far fetch…wouldn’t require has many charging stations and less stress on the grid…my conspiracy theory. 😂
You will own nothing and be happy. It's the democrat way
Tesla has been steadily lowering prices so more people can own a car. They plan to release a $25k car in the next year or two. They at least have an eye for producing cars that average Joes have a chance of being able to afford.
After the huge "win" for the UAW, GM spent $10 billion to buy back stock and increase share holder payout. Clearly the UAW left a lot of money on the table.
It a was a shell game. They delayed evs and took billions. Then bought 3 billion in debt. The execs are selling out and getting a golden parachute.
I was in the union for decades but learned that they cut their own noses off to spit their faces.
Corruption in management of unions is also a problem is some groups.
I agree about the part where "I support the union worker, not the union!"
The Unions voted themselves a lifetime pension fund. That's really what has bankrupted these corporations. Pensions
I work with Union Pacific, and I have to agree with the fact that the higher-ups won’t give us 7 days of sick leave. I only get 3 sick days for the whole year. I don’t even get vacation days unless I reach a certain amount of mileage, which is very difficult. On top of that, I can’t use the vacation days until the next year. I have to put in a bid for a time period to use them, which can be displaced if someone with higher seniority wants that time period for their vacation.
I only get 3 sick days. Dont like it? Your free to leave. Find a job that gives you 30 sick days
@@fozzybear9114 what’s your occupation?
Sounds like your union failed you.
Everyone hates unions until their pay goes up because of the one across the street from where they work.
Our generation of workers is not going to have those 30 year retirement jobs anymore. We will have to be ready to move every 10 years and eventually 5.
The whole point of a union is so the executives can’t make you into one of them boxcars out there. It doesn’t sound like yall have had one for a long time.
I run my own business. I haven’t had a sick day in 4 years. Quit crying.
Exactly, this last round of negotiations will cost the auto makers so much. They will move out of the country, just as I predicted. This was not a win for the UAW. They’re putting themselves out of work. They make more than doctors do nowadays, which is completely ridiculous and nobody can afford the cars they build. I know I won’t be buying any UAW built cars for the rest of my life and I will advise my entire family likewise.
You think Americans will still buy from the big 3 if they move out the country?😂
So Ford has made it be known they are losing over 30K on every BEV they produce, it is also likely that GM and Stellantis will also be similarly underwater on theirs, all before the recent UAW settlement. Latest date shows that BEV sales are not slowing as the media has been saying for the last few months, but have now exceeded 1 million units in the US this year for the first time ever. The handwriting is on the wall, US UAW membership will decline, auto jobs will decline, BEV or BEV component manufacturing will move to China absent government intervention to restrain imports and this will harm consumers because US BEV prices will remain high. This will also result in a slowing of adoption of BEV technology increasing pollution. Sounds to me like a pyrrhic victory.
@@clarencepreston573 Unfortunately, yes they will. People aren't loyal anymore, they will just buy on price and offshoring means cheaper labor even if it eventually kills our economy.
@clarencepreston573 Guess why Harbor Freight is (by far) the biggest tool store in the USA. Every USA brand is either gone or made in China.
All Americans care about is price. That's it. The same ones that wrap themselves in the American flag shop at Harbor Freight which is a celebration of Chinese disposable products.
Cars are no different.
@@clarencepreston573 yes they will
We knew it was coming, it alway does, every time and if you are low on the seniority list you get laid off.
Charger and challenger are American muscle icons. They sold a LOT of those things. While ev’s DO have a market-don’t race a Tesla, especially a plaid-they’re not the answer for everyone.
Yup, the Union Screwed the Line again.
A Pyrrhic victory. The UAW won but it cost them everything.
Am now retired, had a 22 year stint in the military, went back to college, then went into industry. Had several years of employment in a union, sorry they limited my income. Moved on to a non-union position and did much better. All I saw was the union supports the minimum-performance worker while shitting on the skilled worker that has years of technical training and skills. Saw this where a entry-level, unskilled worker gets within several dollars of a journeyman tech gets.
I also had a 22 year stint in the Navy, joined the Operating Engineers Union. The Corporation and Union just completed a 3 year contract agreement the negations were contentious but both sides signed the agreement. Covid showed management the skill union labor provides. My family and I are happy with our lot in life. The decline of Unions in this country is a big reason for the wealth gap in this country .My income is not limited there is a lot of overtime which is distributed fairly .
My Union has about $ 5.00/ hr gap between skilled trade classification. I just looked up apprentice pay scale it about $ 26.00/HR less than skilled tradesmen. God bless America and the Union.
It appears to me that the UAW has negotiated themselves into oblivion. I do think the auto making industry will be far different 4 years from now….which means far fewer workers…
Think about it....Not only did they cancel the Challenger but also the 300..
The Charger wont sell in the numbers it did in the past....
Furthermore,people are forgetting they also quit the RAM 1500 Classic and it was made in the USA,the low production single cab was made in Mexico but the 4 doors in the USA that alone in 200,000 plus units per year! Most truck 1/2 ton truck sales were the Classic!
Plus the Cherokee is gone as is the old version of the Grand Cherokee they still sold along with the new body for the last couple of years!!! 10k less people sounds about right!
Ram classic crew cab were assembled in mexico at least my 20 was
Add to this all the Hornets no one wants; the overpriced/underpowered Jeep Gladiators sitting on all the lots; and now the 4XE hybrids sitting also on the lots and some recalled for catching fire.
Of course not, they are fossil monsters. Replace them with a decent mediocre EV and everything will be ok.
@@wolfgangpreier9160 A decent mediocre EV from a company known for electrical gremlins, corrosion issues, and random body components not sealing water out properly. Yeah, should be OK. 😆
@@yarrik701 The company selling more vehicles than ANY OTHER COMPANY ON THIS EFFING MUDBALL YOU NINCOMPOOP!
Unions should’ve also put a Dave Ramsey “Total money makeover “ book for every employee in their contract! Or, some other kind of financial management course. 🤔🤪
Employees got hung out to dry!
Butter we support you greatly and thank you for the valuable information. I know they're trying to silence you for revealing the truth...we must stand behind Butter and drain the swamp.
After watching auto manufacturers reap mega profits in covid & chip shortage. I was also watching the UAW stand in line to make an average of 84-86K per year full time from what Google said. I still cannot afford to replace my 2005 Ram 2500!! I will always try to buy used to keep what money I have in my pocket. And out of the hands of the big 3 & UAW. The UAW is working themselves out of a job. The striking worker's have no clue what they have done unfortunately.
You had a lil mischievous ghost running around in the background 😂🤣🤣
Striking is never good for long term employment. The only one that might benefit is the union. As you pointed out the worker gets the short end of the deal. Lets face reality, a laid off UAW worker is only worth about $20.00 an hour in the job market. They have skill but its not worth much outside their job.
the maufactures will just automate more of the plant
I dont get sick leave or overtime or 85 000 dollars a year like a UAW Worker. I would eat a turd every day to make a UAW salary. 40 hrs a week for $ 85000!!!
Just another day for the UAW. Press releases over workers.
They asked for it…
Simple rich people aren’t going to take a pay cut. So either layoffs and consumers paying more for vehicles. The top brass still going to get their money.
Lots of rich people are taking huge pay cuts. If nobody buys the inferior products at the inflated prices, they lose money.
@@davidbeppler3032Putting demands on the company that kill it isn't good business accumen.
That leaves alot of EMPLOYEES without jobs to pay the bills with.
Seems like everyone is hell bent on growing the dependent class in America. I guess they are getting fat and lazy. People will give up everything for nothing as long as they don't think they are paying for it.
Dumb dumb dumb...
Hard to understand the logic of working for an employer that under pays you by so much. If you are so valuable then man-up and prove it. Go find a job that pays you what you THINK you are worth. That would be the best education any union worker ever had-Education by reality check. Actual Americans see union workers as cry babies who scream and stomp around in circles when they do not get what they want- No employer values that.
Those people are not worth it. My Dad has been retired since 1999. The Union has been paying him ever since. He's collected over a million dollars in pension checks and medical insurance. That's why cars are being built in Mexico
The contract is great for the surviving workers, but in the end the UAW will have tens of thousands less members by the end of it.
What did they think was gonna happen? They ARE NOT wurff what they gettin paid for the position. Market will decide, NOT socialism
Money talks and bullshit that the union leader was talking has made his employees walk 😂😂😂
I'm a uaw workers just curious, what do you think we should have done?
@@rickeyw8137Should not have hired your leader. The UAW really punished the Big 3. You do know that big companies try and carry jobs when they can afford them
@@rickeyw8137The raise that clown Shawn Fien was extorting from the big3 was just stupidity. So you think that these raises that werent going to get paid by the way, and after any contract that is as stupid as yours is now layoffs always come? Union management will go back to their 6 figure job and tell you when you get laid off or fired there is nothing we can do lol. Unions have become greedy, unrealistic and really have no place in today’s work force. There is a reason Tesla wont have a union 🤷♂️
@@rickeyw8137Did the union provide you with comparatives in your industry in your city or state? Did your union provide you with what the private to union wage difference was? Oh corse they didnt. Because if they did then your raise would have been more realistic. If your wage is more go after better pension contributions, better benefits, paid time off? All of these are better options than pricing yourself out of your labour market.
Fain has pulled me out of poverty and the company was keeping me in poverty despite crazy profits. I think I should be able to make the cars that I build . The past leadership was has be caught being corrupt multiple times. I did not want to vote in more people who would work with the company to screw over the people who build the cars
Loving the uploads and information Butter! You rock man👊
Christmas Layoffs. Thanks Tim K!
Stellantis did this. Not Dodge ceo.
Layoffs don't start till February
Not Tim’s call
I was brought up in Coventry, England, the Detroit of England at the time. Now? Not one automobile (car) manufacture exists! Overpaying unskilled workers took its toll!!!
The exact same thing happened in America
Wow! Gangbuster stuff Butter! You've really got your facts & figures down!
Twenty five years ago I had a relative that worked for a GM plant in Baltimore, Md. and he told me that the janitors at the plant were paid $25.00 per hour. At the same time I had a friend that was a janitor at a school and he said that was at least $15.00 more and hour than he was making!
My thoughts on that was they both were pushing a brooms
CEOs and UAW salaries are part of the reasons cars cost is so expensive!!!
To me the auto industries are doing it to themselves!!!
Regan busted the flight controllers union!?!?!?
The problem is the politicians and the FEDERAL RESERVE!!!!!!
I support TERM LIMITS AND ABOLISH THE FEDERAL RESERVE !!!!!!
It was ILLEGAL for the flight controllers to strike if you recall, but they did it anyway and they left themselves no way out. Don’t blame Reagan for legally firing them for what THEY did ….if you forget it doesn’t mean that it didn’t happen 🤔
self checkout lanes, automated car washes, self driving cars, automated customer disservice, autonomous delivery robots and soon to come completely automated vehicle assembly plants ......problem with this is they are dumping workers .
Your videos are spot on! Congrats!
Check out the total compensation that the President Shawn Fain will receive this year! His salary and UAW Chrysler Skill training Program? Will total $454,385.00
I would guess he’s not too worried about where his next meal is coming from!
You knew that was coming. It's just the beginning!!! I tried to tell them but they did not listen!! Hope you saved some of that money!!!
Shawn said one thing that caught my attention. He said, "We"(international reps) need to focus on what we can get internationally and "we", will leave the other up to the locals. I work at Centerline Packaging and we were sent home the first day back after the holiday then were told don't return until Jan. 8th,2024 because the Stellantis management outsourced all of our work, and locally, they are fighting through a grievance to get some of our work back. I just want to keep things transparent. Thank you!
There’s a whole bunch of people that came through the border looking for work…
Price gouging is going to catch up with you. Example After driving Chrysler products for 45 years I went to get a Challenger and was facing a huge Markup, Well I just walked away and will never ever go back neither will any of my family. You just threw away loyal customers over greed. Now your Employees will pay the price for your shaddy business practices.
You didn't know they would do that?!? Yes u did...
The quality of workmanship in the big three is so bad right now it makes the 80's look like a top tier decade in auto making.
This was a great video and well in-depth
I knew that the strike last year was going cost job loss the union was asking...no DEMANDED too much got it and now layoffs, really shot themselves in BOTH feet
Realistically the manufacturers need to be more automated to lower prices and upper management isn't worth the money they are making.
To be fair they are being fired due to all the 300+ day inventory they have on their Jeeps and Ram Trucks.
At the end of the day for big companies, it’s nothing but profit! They can never have enough..
Thanks for the analysis. Companies only concern is the “bottom line” and workers are just another variable in the equation.
The paint runs, awful panel gaps and the hood scope trim not installed correctly on my luner TRX makes me not feel bad about them losing their jobs.
I would blame the Dealer for not correcting those defects. Sometimes vehicles are damaged in transport and the Dealer takes the cheap way out. I don't think it left the factory that way but if it did, then the dealer is supposed to correct the problems and will be reimbursed.
I remember a Cadillac ad on TV about 8ish years ago, they didn't even hide the orange peel on the paint job... on a freaking Cadillac.
That's not true if you were a chrysler worker you would know you're lying yourself.
They all crooks
I LOVE IT
"We're excited, energetic" and now Unployed
I just discovered this channel, and I must say this gentleman speaks the truth
Record layoffs The electric vehicle isn’t going to work and they are sitting in lots and now laying off employees becouse of greed way to go
You think paying $9 to drive 300 miles will not work? Having a 0-60 under 4 seconds will not work? Having a truck that turns like a sports car will not work? lmao
@@davidbeppler3032 it won’t when there not enough chargers to charge them and people don’t want government to force them what to buy and also ford slowed the lighting production down and so had others They aren’t selling they are rotting in lots
Wake up into reality
Let's have a show of hands for those who did not see this coming.
LOL! The little girl in the background is adorable.
For anyone watching this that might have missed it. Michigan’s governor signed a law at the end of November to make the whole state green, aka wind and solar by 2040. That puts the auto companies OUT of business. How do the Democrats expect to run the auto plants? Think about that this November.
I don’t know about it anymore. I worked at Saint Louis north from 1984 then Warren till I called it quits in November 2006. They want cars and trucks to build themselves. From what I’ve been told the offices at Auburn Hills is up for sale.
And I'm sure that with 22 years on the Job, you got something out of them. Partial pension check
I work in an office now and they no show for sick days All the time and yet the same people come into work sicker then a dog for the entire duration of the the bug they're fighting. When you tell them that we have sick days for that. They've already burned them or they reserve them for personal days. Unless you have health problems no one is down for more than a week a year with a legitimate sickness. I belive if you've been with the company for 10 years or more that you should have privileges that are afforded to you and not everyone else.
I think the AMC Jeeps were better than the first ones now.
Just Saying your bang on point mate.
Cheers 🇨🇦
Sad, but true! Very good video Butter!!
Dodge is in trouble…
Dodge has 400 days of top trim level trucks sitting on dealership lots. If they cut the prices from $76k to $35k they would sell.
@@davidbeppler3032 true
I belonged to a union once. Now i look out for myself and make more money 😊
just retired one month ago from chrysler they pay me to stay home.love it
Anyone that knows anything about the auto industry understands the variation in year to year cycles. I worked for GM for 32 years, then FCA for a last year. I knew in 1985 that layoffs will occur. The job was the only one I ever had with benefits, and I doubled my pay and qualifications by apprenticing iinto skilled trades as an electrician. I fully retired at 54, doing 70-84 hrs/wk was no longer needed, and I have young kids to raise. The free time let me start my own business in international travel, which I am training my kids to take over eventually. It has been a great ride! Working the line was not as easy as non-industrial people think. I wanted to use my math/tech abilities.
You were right! Stellantis just laid off a bunch of engineers! 💯💯💯
My JEEP SRT has been sitting in service since OCTOBER 5th.
It's still waiting for a cylinder head install.
I've had their loaner since November 5th. I've put almost 2000 miles on it. (A Jeep Cherokee).
My service advisor QUIT.
My Service technician QUIT.
New vehicles are junk
Has that union working for you? 23 years with mine and they left me high and dry when I got hurt on the job! Unions protect their buddies and the shitbags!
4xe = Four times the explosions 🤣
Due to "Big Three" business practices, I no longer purchase their vehicles. Recently purchased Mercedes-Benz and Toyota
How does a manufacturing company shift to software sales?
Lots are full with Chrysler, Dodge, and Ram vehicles. Prices will be going down along with jobs
To much Greed in the Auto Industry if you ask me.
Great job!!!
It's a global marketplace and Stellates is a global company, There's no benefit for them to produce vehicles in the Untied States. They have nothing to lose by giving the American Unions everything they want if they don't intend to have any American workers in the future.
In a true global market the American worker has to be just as productive and less expensive than a Chinese worker.
I'm older than some of the people here... and I've worked on a lot of cars over the years... So I can confidently say that at one time American cars were the best in the world and worth paying more for. Now, I can't honestly say that with a straight face. If people won't buy the crap cars US automakers dump on the market, it's just a matter of time until there are no more American cars or UAW jobs.
When these workers find a new non-union job ad find out it pays half what they used to make, maybe it will finally dawn on them that they were never worth what their union demagogues said they were. It is a rude awakening to realize someone took your money for years and just blew smoke up your a$$ to get your money. The national average pay for factory workers in the US is $34K/yr with minimal benefits. Abut 50% more than a fast-food worker, which is generous because the jobs are comparable. A Big Mac has 7 ingredients and hundreds of variations people could order, while an assembly line auto worker has ONE part that SHOULD always be done the same way. Thinking you are some sort of elite because you are an auto assembly line worker is delusional.
UAW 685 here. I don't get people saying uaw didn't get enough in this contract but also saying this contract will/is causing layoffs. I'm really confused
So the penalty was levied... Was it distributed to the workers or was it sucked up by the court, lawyers, politicians, union leaders.
It's their business philosiphy that does'nt work....Tesla rewards and values their employess makes them feel like they are owners not just a worker for the CEOs. Only those companies who choose to change will survive....
Tesla is a Ponzi scheme invented by Elon Musk. No retirement plans for the workers. It's all for him. No dealerships. He wants all the profits
Hell Ya! They should have been fired before the contract was signed.
Yep. Most unions are like this. I was a teamster for several years and it’s the same thing there.
Congratulations, you played yourself.
No tears here for UAW workers, nor management.
UAW worker STAND UP FOR YOUR PINK SLIP! RECORD CONTRACTS = RECORD LAYOFFS
I know a situation where a person had spoken up about working conditions at his job and his Operations manager, with the help of the union, itself, pushed him out of his job. Management (Ryder Integrated Logistics_Spring Hill, Tennessee) and the U.A.W. actually worked together in order to get him out of his post. The Operations manager was supposed to be disciplined by the union for harassment and abuse. However, to my understanding; the complaint was never processed. The real bitch about the whole deal is that, technically; he was never officially fired, or relieved of his employment.
If Fain wants to talk about real "Solidarity", then he first needs to prove himself and make that situation right. The system that he claims he is going to hold accountable stole this man's job for no other reason than his honesty and his dedication to his fellow union brothers and sisters.
Priced themselves out of a job..
Use to be a die hard Mopar fan. But sadly with the behavior of the parent companies since 1998 Daimler and especially since the FCA purchase and now with this Stelantis fiasco. I will never buy one again and as soon as financially feasible I’ll parting ways with my current dodge product. It’s sad and despicable what has happen to this once great brand. Mr. Chrysler & Lee Iacoccca whom help save the company once must be rolling over in their graves.😢
How can I support either side if I don't know the "numbers"?!? Give us the salaries, benefits and the company's profits so we can make an educated decision!
Bad take.
If you offer someone a job, it should enable that employee to live a comfortable life. I'd rather 268,000 workers get paid right than 271,000 workers struggle financially.
3000 jobs is literally 1% of their workforce.
Thanks for the video
Good editing! Keep it up
