lol, is UAW going to throw a tantrum and storm the Mercedes HQ in the US, because the vote didn't' go their way....a vote result is done, respect it
Of course the UAW says this every time they are rejected and the ideologues chime in.
What will eventually happen when automation comes along? The unions are just motivating the companies to ramp up investment in AI and robotics.
I KNOW! Imagine, things like Tesla's Bot taking over most positions! Not just here, but all over the place. UAW must know that the future looks like it will be wiped out. Honestly I hope so! I was in the UAW and they're great at taking money... they're horrible at doing anything for you in return.
@@galaxiedance3135 The Tesla Bot will be the Union Boss!
Those wonderful utopian futures in the Science Fiction books? They are for the rich and their children, NOT YOU.
Robots will make YOU unnecessary, and then you will have to put your faith in the basic humanity of people like ... Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Tim Cook, Larry Ellison, MBS, Donald Trump, ...
LMAO using "humanity" in the same sentence as ANY of those. Basically, unless you have some EXCEPTIONAL talent you are ALL SCREWED.
(No it doesn't HAVE to be that way, provided that list somehow turns into decent human beings. Really? You REALLY think that's possible?).
I was a member of the ITU when computerized typesetting and automation came along. When it did the workforce was gradually reduced as the new processes were introduced. Those in union shops, got early retirement packages, buyouts, reassignment to other departments with no decrease in pay. In my case in a group of 8 who worked, in the transition, to its final completion, a guaranteed life time job with the company. Those 8 jobs were so-bullet proof that they were in the sales agreement when the company was sold 5 times, to a succession of owners. Those who worked in non-union shops got a pink slip and two -weeks severance, if they were lucky.
@@galaxiedance3135How much are/were UAW union fees ? If a company is unionized , they are effectively paying a UAW charge on top of the fair pay they give their workers.
Lived near Detroit my entire life. The UAW peaked at 1.7 million members in the 70's. I've known several UAW workers and they're lazy, go to work drunk or high and brag about somebody clocking them out so they can take off early. The UAW cares about one thing.........the UAW and many of their leaders have gone to prison recently. When the UAW takes over a company the quality goes down, the costs go up and eventually they bankrupt the company. I use to buy their junk but quit that in 2012 and won't go back.
In case you missed it the UAW cleaned house in 2020 and those people have gone to prison.
@@oscarjohnson9156Ford makes electric cars at a loss, slowly inching to factory closure in the US.
Unions can do good work. Many times their leaders are either working to increase their own power or chaise their own political ends
Unions never do good work in 2024.
Getting staff is extremely difficult.
No need for unions.
@@whowhy9023 One reason GM & Ford are delaying EV production since there cost is to high due to Union.
Not only the top leaders- the shop stewards I came into contact with when I first started work in industry in the UK in the late 60`s (not car) were short sighted, narrow minded, power hungry little sh%ts. I`m sure there were some good ones but I didn`t come across them.
Unions need caps on leader compensation and they need to ban using union money for political lobbying or donations.
@@whowhy9023 Rubbish.
Top 3 reasons Tesla is the best car EVER: 1. Elon. 2. Non-union. 3. Direct purchase, no "stealership".
1 reason the car sells at all government incentives 😜
Just imagine anyone would have the gall to inconvenience Mr. Fain. So much for his strong arm tactics!
The unions at UK car plants did such a good job scewing the companies that the UK lost virtually all its home grown car production
I'd say 50/50. Between an arrogant, elitist management and intransigent unions.
but its better to make 2-3 quarters 20% more and go unemployed than work 2 years longer (for 80%) We`re just a product of democracy - aren`t we?
Or was it really bad management? Depends on who you ask ...and what YOU choose to believe.
Same as the ship building.
@@capnkirk5528 IMO it was both.
Good chance the average Factory worker in China is not Unionized and is working for peanuts.
China sells more new cars per capita than the US. Of course there are nuances to that but it is true.
Yep and then you get all the numpties in the West who wouldn't work for those wages/conditions complaining about not being able to buy cheap stuff from China and are then surprised when their own job goes overseas.
Unions improve working conditions but now often go too far and destroy jobs. Help...❤😂
It’s one of the main reasons why Car manufacturing in Australia failed… Unions are a double edged sword
Ummm.. 100% of car workers in Germany are union. 100% of Japanese car workers are union. In fact almost all car workers around the world are union. This is called reality.
@@nerdbikes3841 That’s why there are car plants in America- Volkswagen, Mercedes and BMW moved production to the US for cheap American labor.
Japanese unions don’t line the pockets of UAW leaders, so though their products are boycotted.
Unions don’t want every product made or sold, or every “worker” to be unionized- if everyone was “union” , they would lose their advantage in pay and lifestyle. Do you think they want McDonalds and Home Depot workers unionized and making $60 an hour in pay/benefits?
Unions operate as monopolies…why only the UAW for 100% of vehicle manufacturing in the US? Why do their leaders get a monopoly on their business, which is selling the workers to the employers?
@@nerdbikes3841 Ummm. German and Japanese unions are different than American ones.
Why is it that the expressions "Jimmy Hoffa", "Mafia control" and "Teamsters" are ALL synonymous (for people old enough to know about it)?
Why did the "Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company" (A&P) fail?
Why is NYC SOOOO corrupt?
"Show of hands" voting was also known as "broken hands" voting. If you don't show your hand when the "goons" want, they get BROKEN. Yes, still TODAY in your supposedly free country. Could US labor be cleaned up? Well, the sun "could" rise in the west tomorrow ...
Although admittedly Sean O'Brien is a far better human being than Markwayne Mullin, but that is a VERY low bar. Mullin is a United States Senator, one of the lowest and most corrupt people on earth (especially those with an R after their name).
@@Leah-ju8ht Yep… and they made some bloody good cars… anyways they are gone and we need to be prudent about local manufacturing we need to preserve…. These days your national security depends on it
Tesla Berlin not unionised
Unions should look after the best interests of the workers that they represent. Unfortunately this seems to be translated to just fighting for higher salaries. A high salary isn't going to help much if the job disappears. Perhaps better would be work with the company's management to ensure that any decisions are taken are in both the company's and the workers interests.
You have no idea what is in the negotiated bargaining agreement. It's not just a fight for higher salaries. Look at the non-union Tesla employees. There are some former employees saying how they sleep in the cars in the parking lot, taking showers in side the factory because of the 12 hour 10 day weeks they were forced to work.
Must be serious. They got you desk thumping.
Cheers mate
The UAW stikes in Fall 2023 were in response to members complaining Tesla employees had better pay and benefits, and many Tesla workerers were millionaires and they wanted the same. So the UAW set out to match Tesla's pay. Ford, Stilantis and VW UAW workers got MASSIVE pay and benefit increases. So much that it is INCREASING vehicle prices. Now MB workers say they are better paid WITHOUT UAW's plan. UAW's Execs are each paid over a Million yearly.
UAW contract adds $500 to price of a car. First decent contract in a decade.
Dealer "addendum" labels add $10K to the price of a car.
Conclusion: the UAW is bad!
Clearly YOU went to a Republican-controlled school!!!!
It's not just the southern rednecks who are Darwin stupid ...
B.S. Tesla hourly employees never had better pay and benefits that UAW workers. The hourly employees were not allowed into the stock purchase plan until 2022 and its requires 5 years vesting to be able to purchase Tesla stock. SO ZERO hourly workers are millionaires. You got the pay increase backwards. It came after the UAW contract settlements with the three companies you mention. The UAW President Shawn Fain earns $187,259 a year leading a UAW non-profit training program and another $160,130 per year in his previous role of administrative assistant at the union. Ford CEO Jim Farley received total compensation of $22,813,174 in 2021 for running the company. The vote for a union at Mercedes 2,642 to 2,045. Unfair labor practice charges have been filed against Mercedes. As we politely say in union meetings. Take a seat and shut up.
The Only tesla workers who became millionaire were top executives. The plan for production didn't begin until 2022 and it takes 5 years to have vested rights. Most hourly workers leave within 6 months. One who stuck it out be sleeping in his car because of the 12 hour day 10 straight days reaching a supervisors position was just fired. His story is in Business Insider. No reason given.
@@oscarjohnson9156 I call BS.
If you believe ANYTHING that Business Insider publishes about Tesla you are being conned. Their MASSIVE anti-Tesla bias is obvious, and is the subject of literally hundreds of articles and You Tube videos.
They have been debunked so many times they have less journalistic integrity than the National Enquirer.
@@oscarjohnson9156 I know NON executives who are stock option millionaires. Is their lavissh life style based on inheritance, even though they grew up orrphins?
Union companies cannot compete. So very bad idea.
It's only Justice for the workers (of the UAW legal teams).
We have a national labor relations board in the US so yes a government entity is looking into it. Also if you look into the stories of the workers at Mercedes you’d know they did put their fingers on the scale for the election. I can’t think of a company that doesn’t try to union bust
You can not sell cars unless people make enough money.
Because paying 1% of the workforce more is going to allow the rest of us to buy new cars?
This is union propaganda horse shite. Spin doctoring.
They are angry because they lost all of that union money.
Presales have the highest returns, and Revux is the best one I’ve seen.
the UAW and the auto industry in general knows there is major changes/pain coming their way . the UAW and auto manufacturers are in the early stages of total transformation, robots /automation don't belong to unions so no money coming in to fund them. the more manufacturers move to electric makes for less jobs, just think how much fewer parts are in a EV compared to a ICE , just the motors themselfs , and remember pretty much all components for a union assembled vehicle come from union suppliers the snowball effect is going to be massive, couple that with a american consumer that is out of money and you have a perfect storm brewing. and the USA government is in no shape to be bailing any of them out! nor should they! ✌
Wait aren’t the US legacy automakers that can’t seem to figure out how to turn a profit on EVs part of the UAW? 😊
UAW always makes these claims when they lose.
They will be replaced by humanoid robots

@@robertlarder1907 Exactly. I do understand that all aren't good, but there are good unions.
Just not the UAW
UAW will eventually have to admit robots as members.
Se&rch for Yahoo How much does an average UAW autoworker make?

Mercedes plants in the US are in right to work states so the federal government can do very little.
"Right to work" For Less.
@@oscarjohnson9156 - I comes are higher in those states because of better economic activity.
@@RagnarinVa Wages in RTW states are 3.1% lower than those in non-RTW states, even after controlling for individual demographic and socioeconomic factors as well as state macroeconomic indicators.
Workers in RTW states are less likely to have employer-sponsored health insurance and pension coverage3.
All being said, I support the workers. If the employer treats them right they might never unionize.
Well huge support in USA from $7,500 phev/ev tax credit vs some imports for local unions however defined… So wow huge government support for unions arguably🗽🤯
POTUS stood in a UAW picket line with a bull horn cheering on the UAW who was by their words making automakers bleed. No union support here.

The problem with the Viking's thinking is that you can
have a "race to the bottom" for the workers and a
"race to the top" for executives. I didn't hear
the Viking have any problem with Elon getting 50
billion for his part-time-work. In China, top
executives will order lunch at restaurants that
charge a quarter of a million dollars for a
sandwich. It is like the middle ages or like the
early industrial revolution, where there are a few super
rich people nd everybody else is supposed to celebrate when
a tiny crumb gets thrown down. One can protect union
labor with tariffs which the Viking will not like
either, but I see no other option. I want to be
paid a living wage even if that means taxing the
rich, tariffs, and unions. On the other hand, we can't
go to an extreme in that direction either.
You mean they used UNION TACTICS, 🤣 🤣 🤣
Thanks for telling like it is. I'm from the deep South of USA and remember what happened when just the Minimum Wage (forget Unions) was installed in my home town. I was a small boy but I recall how my Dad reacted when he told the family how things changed over night after the MW hit the local manufacturing mill he supported as its professional forester. Before, the mill had a number of casual labor keeping the mill yards clean of debris and trash that resulted from normal operations, but afterwards those workers simply disappeared.
Tell me did the owners of that mill disappear as well??
Revux is the hot topic in my crypto chats. Rising star for sure!
We are not promised tomorrow ……. Yesterday is history tomorrow is a mystery today is a gift that’s why it’s called th present
You sound like Komala Harris....in rhythms
Will the new humanoid robots be unionised while we go on ubi?

I've managed U.A.W., Teamster & Non Union. Not much different IMO. Use common sense & all is good.
If he is this upset about Mercedes, he might not survive the wall that Tesla will be for them to scale. He/the UAW just don't get it, they are not the solution to the auto industry's woes today, urgency, innovation and speed are....and those are all counter intuitive to the union experience.
at this point they are only covering their own jobs...yes i know about standing up for the workers etc...we are past that right now - standing up for higher wages is going to kill the local economy and drive manufacturing to cheaper areas = what then UAW? what then... you killed local economy...but no no one mentions that - so it is good that MB in Georgia voted them out. they will keep their jobs for a while longer - maybe 5 or 10 or 15 years.
It's not all about wages.
Hope those low cost Chinese will pay as much for a Merc as we do....
Never been a real fan of unions, some good but mostly only looking to line their pockets, more members the more revenue and they get paid more. they have probably screwed up the UK manufacturing because there is very little left, all big companies have gone abroad to set up. Only my opinion of course and others will think differently. My father was forced to join a union in the 70's as even his friends started calling him scum and trying to coerce him.
Actually most of the cars made in the UK were pretty pieces of junk.
👏👏👏 Well done Mercedes
Revux tip-off - this token is heading for the moon!
Not a fan of unions
Abolish unions
None of this matters in a few years. Humanoid robots will replace them all. Yes the UAW will strike the plants that try to do this which will just put their company out of business.
As soon as one car company in the US starts using robots then ALL must go down that route or they will not be price competitive. It will be existential for the company so they will have to do it no matter what the UAW does.
All manufacturing companies in the U.S. have been using robots since the 1950s.
AI would definetely destroy the UAW. But it is a myth that AI will create more jobs. So, who's going to buy the millions of cars manufactured using AI, if most people are going to be unemployed?
Sam, if employers treated their workers decently, there would be no need for them.
Some do, but they are in a tiny minority.
The Western auto industry has been sticking its head in the sand for decades, avoiding the replacement of the ICE for a clean alternative, and have run the clock out.
Who got Herbert Diess fired
Morning mate
To intimidate workers? And the UAW does. That union is a mafia
This is true. Toyota union is unique as Toyota helps workers with having them make a Toyota specific union to help workers. Maybe a good idea. ❤
Then Toyota don't need any Union.
I like workers having better pay and conditions. Sucks when the jobs get taken elsewhere but getting better pay is something to fight for.
UAW is a parasite that kills the host and jobs.
A factory where management works together to make it more efficient should be the goal. This allows for higher wages. The them and us Union attitude is bad news.
@@danharold3087 Where you ever in a union?? I was from 1958 until 2022. I took part in the transition in the printing trade that resulted in almost all printing now being done with an automated and computerized process. We worked (not without struggles) over those years to see that our people were not discarded, but got fair treatment when their jobs disappeared. Them and us is the attitude between management and all of labor. Not just the unionized. The major goal of a capitalist system is to maximize profits. One way to do this is the cheapest labor workforce possible. They did it at first with slaves, and they will finish it with machines. I'll bet that you didn't even think of slave owners as capitalists.
@@oscarjohnson9156 I have never been in a union but my brother was with the International Brotherhood of Electrical workers while I was growing up. He worked for a utility company and fixed what went wrong with the electric and natural gas system in a small town. I am sure it colored my distaste. The IBEW would send them out on strike on strike pay. When the strike was over they went back to work and had to fix the work that accumulated while they were out.
I am not saying all unions are bad. Some jobs need them more than others. Just that UAW is out of control calling to bleed the auto makers rather than attempt a timely settlement. As per internal UAW communication. Joe Biden should have been impeached or jailed along with Shawn Fain for taking sides. He works for all of us. Just plain pandering.
Lived in Colorado Springs so know of the Union Printers Home. I became aware of the dangers of the printers profession there. Hope you are not one of its victims. Now in the OK panhandle. Was on the board of the local museum here. We have the Linotype machine and the press that proceeded it but the older one never made it inside. The Linotype was lovingly restored. Museum was gifted with a smallish press that needs to be painted and reassembled. Have some original documentation. It was rained on on the way to us. Now a pile of rusty parts. Was going to paint and reassemble it but my health took a turn for the worse and I left the BOD. Have 3 building of buggies, trucks, cars and tractors. Nice REO Speedwagon if you are into cars.

Where are you getting your "facts" $300,000 in wages for a unionized auto working in the USA? Come on man! Bad, just bad work. That is a laughable and utterly rejectable claim, easily debunked.
Lots of overtime.
Union is something that has dragged down US and European auto industries
the UAW is so used to committing illegal acts that there first thought is to assume everyone commits illegal acts. what can you expect from a union?
In 2020 the UAW had a general housecleaning and those who were committing illegal acts went to prison. The new officers were all elected as reform agents.
Non unionized companies have shut down locations all the time. It’s much more likely to happen without a union
Qventi is everywhere now, just like Revux was.
It’s pretty apparent the electric Viking hates unions. That’s sad.

Do not understand your anti union stand. Anti union tactics by big companies in the USA and elsewhere is well known. The UAW has raisen the salaries of workers. Do not udnerstand why thats wrong. Do you have a history with unions? It seems you have been personally hurt.
You did not even try to confirm the outlandish claim of US workers making $300k / annum? Come on! They make more like $50k / annum. ($28/h). I’m now unsubscribing from your channel as you have lost my respect for the demonstrable bias and blatantly poor reporting.

"A free exchange of ideas" is not the same as an exchange of facts. Facts are universal and objective. Are you arguing there is a set of superior facts entailing that UAE workers (on average etc) make $300,000 per annum as apposed to the roughly $50,000 per annum they demonstrably make?

@@j-joe-jeans I was going to ask you to check my pro-union posts on this particular article giving actual facts that oppose the anti-union BS being posted. Citing names, numbers, dates and places.

Who killed the American Auto Industry? UAW.
Let's face it labour is the biggest cost in car manufacturing if the US can't get robots in their factories soon, they won't be able to compete, unions are there to push wages up not down.
All cars will be made where labour is cheap China, Asia, India and Mexico no unions.
Unfortunately robots in US factories will not be enough. Forget the US for now. Look how China is funding its automakers.
Lets face facts for a change. Raw materials and auto parts are the biggest cost driver in the auto industry, accounting for up to 57% of the total price. Also Research and development takes up about another 16% of the manufacturing costs.
Tell me Sam are you against all unions or just labor unions. After all there is an Manufacturing Australia (MA) union made of of the CEOS of Australia and the Australia Chamber of Commerce, made up of business people. And many more associations made up of people banding together to promote their common interest.
As far illegal acts by Mercedes. In the U.S. we have laws governing labor relations that are applicable to both sides in a disagreement. And both sides are free to file charges of violation.
You are also a little bit short on facts when it comes to Mercedes and unions.
Mercedes has been unionized in Germany since 1952. And in Germany have representation on the corporate board of directors.
The average pay for a German Mercedes worker is $67 USD, the U.S. Mercedes worker $33 USD. per hour.
Last year Mercedes posted a net profit of $4.6 Billion Euros equal to 5.28 Billion. USD.
Love your content, but you are a bit out of touch. You aren’t an American. You don’t live here. As an Australian, you have universal healthcare and a better social safety net than we have here. In the US, having a union helps to get you better healthcare, bargaining power for wages and benefits. They fight for things that most American jobs don’t have.
