    Didn’t the UAW win the strike?

    Unions/management have not figured out that it's a GLOBAL economy. Visit anywhere outside the US and one will note the absence of US cars/trucks. Sad

    The UAW and the president had a choice, they chose higher wages now and to hell with the future.

    Painful. Seems like I've spent my whole adult life watching workers get hurt, with the exception of technology workers. Not sure how the US survives without a bedrock of manufacturing and trades jobs.

    Ha Ha Ha! Greedy UAW cost themselves jobs. I knew this was coming. The car makers will just shift more production to Mexico.

      @hugomendoza7292 UAW demanded unreasonable wage increases, far beyond what everyone else is getting. Plus, market forces, competition, blah blah, blah...

      @the_rubbish_bin unreasonable? So the CEOs of those companies got 40% increase, we are talking about millions of dollar ofc, is it that unreasonable too?

      the ceos raise their pay by millions every year, is that reasonable? now let’s use our brains

      @@hugomendoza7292if you take Mary Barra’s income and divide it by all GM UAW workers, the result is about $800 per year increase for each worker. The CEO is always going to have a salary based off profit made that year. All this strike did was drive up prices.

    maybe if their vehicles were of better quality which would equate to more sales, on top of getting rid of the UAW, this would not be a story

    Well I believe these jobs will never come back. When and if car sales return, these jobs will be in Mexico because of the strike. They will whittle down the union employees until there is just enough to say they are an American company and that will be it. I said that when that strike started that Stellantis would be the one sending all this to Mexico and it will. And I'm being proven right. And they will come for that guys job. Especially since cars sells have dropped, it is the perfect time to do this. Now you may ask why I'm not mad about this and just a matter of a fact about this, well that is because they were used to justify the calls for the "High Cost Of American Labor". They were making $21 an hour in the late 70's as the media called for sending jobs over seas. They just watched as all that unfolded. And now globalization has come for them. Plus I did try to get on at the GM plant and was turned away. So welcome to H UAW.

    in 1973 a vet was 6,500.00 and I was making 3.00 per hour.. 50 years latter and a vet is at least 10 times as much.
    minimum wage was 2.00... in 73 and now 7.25..... do the math..... I feel sorry for our youth.
