When you adjust for inflation the autoworkers have had their pay cut over the last 10 years. But that’s not enough for the greedy corporations. They also stratified the workers to create a lower class of employee who does the same job but gets paid less and gets less benefits. Car prices have increased much higher than inflation would dictate. CEO salaries were already incredibly high and they have been increased nearly 50%
The union is asking for 36% wage increase over four years after not having a wage increase over 10 years. Mary Barra got a 34% salary increase in just one year so sorry if I'm not feeling any sorrow for the Big 3 CEOs. Stand strong UAW!
im retired from GM.....all i got to say is, if you have never experienced working for these people..or watched them break the contract over and over..and yes the UAW has to intervene from time to time...well i cant explain it..and you wouldnt get it if i did......STAND FAST UAW BROTHERS AND SISTERS
Currently at my plant, they have emails and papers all saying there is mandatory Saturday work and that it’s cancelled and both threatening if u come on and your not supposed to and if you don’t come in you will get fired lol
I’m not saying it’s the hardest job. Or takes the most training but it takes a good six months to a year to get into the cadence and not be in pain for months at a time. Us asking for the same type of wage to afford the life style we fought for isn’t like we’re trying to get rich. We wanna make the 2023 equivalent to 1997’s 28.00 per hour
They also paid back those loans. Are you ok with all of the PPE loans they received during covid? How about the all of the corporate welfare the government is giving for EV vehicles that nobody wants. The tax break given by the last president. These companies can pay the workers a better wage. 150,000 workers x 33 and hour = 4,950,000 x 2080 = 10,296,000,000 in wages if everyone was maxed out. 40% pay raise 33 x 1.4 = 46.2 150,000 x 46.2 = 6,930,000 x 2080 (total hours) = 14,414,400,000 total wages for all 3. difference 14,414,400,000 - 10,296,000,000 = 4,118,400,000 difference over 4 year. 4,118,400,000/4 = 1,029,600,000 a year for all 3 companies. current PROFIT for the last 6 months $21,000,000,000 difference from the first 6 months over the difference of 4 year increase. $19,970,400,000 with 2 quarters to go this year. These companies could give a 40% raise and pay all workers for 4 years in advance and still make $19 Billion just in the first half. These companies can afford it.
GM and Ford got bailouts that they didn't have to pay back. FCA now Stellantis got loans and paid them back in full within a couple years. Right after GM was bailed out they shut down US plants and moved them to Mexico.
The taxpayers bailed them out to recover! The union agreed to give up cola! Pensions! And allowed tiered workers to support that recovery period. Now here they are profiting billions! And not one of these companies are willing to give anything back to the workers that made them their ridiculous greedy millions of dollars!!
My family has a restaurant 2 miles from the GM wentzville plant, I would love to have the people in our community have more spending money, it surely would help us to have more money flowing around our community
Without government intervention, Ford and GM would be closed now. The harsher they will treat their workers, the more their customers will turn to reliable quality car manufacturers like Toyota 🤷♂️
@@harrychu650 EVs are unaffordable for most Americans. Hybrids are the way to go. By the way, Tesla are low quality vehicles. The only reason it is relevant, it has the best charging network. I haven’t talked to a Tesla owner who told me that he was getting the advertised mileage 🤷♂️

10% of 16 dollars a hour is a 1.60 raise gtfoh. I work for teamsters and they gave us a 7 dollar raise last year (23 to 30) so it’s definitely possible. I hope they get their money

I worked for the Michigan Department of Corrections for 28 years. My coworkers and I put our lives in harms way more than a few times. There were times when I thought we might not make it out alive. Never did we get a 34% wage increase. I have seen myself how easy some of their jobs are inside car factories. Another 34%? I don't think it is necessary considering the average wage in Michigan. When will it be enough? If they got a 100% raise, they would still want another 34%. What the heck people.
The UAW survives by creating discontent, resentment, and jealousy about what a CEO makes. Anything to perpetuate their corrupt, parasitic existence. Without the UAW we would see happier and more prosperous employees.
FACT: EV's require 40% less labor to manufacture. 40% of these UAW employees will eventually need to find new jobs. UAW democrats should be mad at Joe Joe.
Doesn't mean the jobs should not be well paid jobs with good benefits...unions are the only democratizing Force the general population has left..... Either lead or follow or get the hell out of the way
@@buddy7136 Sure, but the numbers are not even close. EV's are 10 times less likely to catch fire. Yes its true if the battery starts burning its a more dangerous fire than a normal fire. But the idea that EV'S burts into flames all the time is massively over blown. On average there are over 100 vehicle fires a day in the US, but they are not all over the local news every night.
@wisemanofsorts6068 less likely by what metric? Volume of cars? There's how many more opportunities for an ice vehicles to catch fire by pure Volume. I'm questioning the scale used for your EV claim.
Amazing vehicles? No. Buy a Tesla, cheaper now with the tax credit and amazing performance, safety, efficiency, total cost of ownership and no maintenance.

No wonder new trucks are 90,000 dollars. The workers think they should be paid like rockstars. The CEO should send their jobs to China and Mexico if they don’t want to work
Y'all overpaid the way it is. How many manufactors you think only give a raise once a year and it don't cover the cost of living going up every year. Or the health insurance that goes up

If I were the big 3 automakers I’d move my operations down to Mexico and the UAW employees can move to Mexico and re-apply for their jobs starting at $5 an hour!!!
