Lol and if you deadbeats get what you’re asking for, you’ll finally be the only ones who can afford to buy them. It’s funny, Henry Ford made that comment well before the unions existed…. He was the first major employer to offer a 5 dollar day, it was ground breaking and world news. That’s when he made the referenced comment.

What’s more likely: The workers were really underpaid, or were simply getting greeedy because some manipulative politicians whispered in there ears… not for the workers benefit, but for the politicians benefit. When will they learn, the union leaders don’t give a damn about the members, it’s all about political power and the union members are happy to be bribed while the companies lose their ability to compete and will eventually go bust.

I’m glad yawls union is staying by your side. I was a member of the united association, local 100 out of Dallas. 96% of our members voted to go on strike. 100% of our board agreed to go on strike over our contract negotiation. It was very similar to y’all’s situation. The united association fucked us though. They threatened the board of our local with termination. They said that as long as it was a minimum of a 10% raise over three years we had to accept it. They told us if we did not except the deal that they offered, which was about 12% Over three years even though we agreed to not negotiate in 2020 during the pandemic when our last contract was up. We are supposed to collectively bargain every three years and we all agreed to forgo our ability to bargain in 2020 to help the contractors out during the pandemic, now it’s time to pay us back and they didn’t want to and the united association told us if we didn’t except the deal, the contractors offered they would replace all of our board members and assume ownership over our local and except a 10% offer. They completely fucked us moving forward. There is no point in as ever collectively bargaining again as long as the contractors offer 10% over three years every time, I left and started my own business after that. That happened just this year in May.

The big 3 made 21 billion in profits in the first half of 2023. UAW Labor costs which are 5-10% of a vehicle breakdown like this...we'll use a topped out employee making $32 an hour as an example. which WE ALL KNOW not everyone makes that lol 146,000x2080 hours = 303,680,000 hours worked full time for the year. 303,680,000x$32= $9,717,760,000 So the total labor cost of 146k workers at fulltime MAX PAY is not even 10 billion dollars for the entire year! (I know there are some skilled trades and SBU workers who make more but there are groups who make less as well) So what would happen if you gave every single person a 40% wage increase? well let's do the math because that's what intelligent people do lol and for arguments sake let's do it all up front to make it easy numbers wise $9,717,760,000 x 1.4 = $13,604,864,000 for a grand total difference of $3,887,104,000 (for all three companies combined) oh and by the way this is for the entire year of wages!! So to make these numbers more accurate, let's break it down so it's also in line with the first half of 2023. $13,604,864,000 / 2 = $6,802,432,000 or an increase of only $1,943,552,000 So...These MORONS in the media who can't even do basic math are over here saying our companies are going to go bankrupt these companies with our ludicrous proposals and yet here it is people right in front of you the broken down math on a full 40% pay increase if every single worker was making at least $32 an hour assuming tiers are wiped out and everyone was full pay plus the pay increase all up front rather than spread out over 4.5 years of contract. Furthermore let's also breakdown the rest of our benefits for fun, because nothing drives me more nuts than hearing our AVERAGE wages/compensation currently cost the company $64-72 an hour (depending on the source) and the non-union shops only cost their companies $50-55 and Tesla is $45 Healthcare according to Ford cost them 17k per employee, Stellantis tax info says 19k and change. Lets round up to 20k per employee for healthcare or $9.61 an hour. Let's add in the FICA tax for SS and Medicare OF 15.3% / 2 = 7.65% X 32 = $2.45 an hour 401k contributions of 6.4% and $1 an hour = $3.05 an hour Dental, Vision, Disability, Life Insurance are all extremely negligible costs probably only adding up to about $1 an hour but let's be friendly and say $2 an hour. $1,500 bonus yearly (for those who get it) is like 0.72 an hour So what are we at right now? just a hair under $50 an hour....you can't count vacation and sick days etc. because I based the hours formula on full 2080 hours which is 40 hours a week by 52 weeks in a year. So what else is there? profit sharing? overtime? those aren't guarantees and could just as likely be 0 so you can't include those...You have to include things that are guaranteed to show it's an actual yearly cost towards compensation. But hey even if we added in profit sharing of lets say 10k for the year that's only $5 an hour. So we are at $55 an hour for a maxed out employee. NOT AVERAGE...MAXED OUT! I mean...even if I was forgetting a few fringe benefits...after seeing the math do you really think we are missing enough fringe benefits and costs that are as expensive as HEALTHCARE?!?! no way lol AND even if there was, $32 is not the average compensation that's top pay for the vast VAST majority of members. I hate it when you sit around and everyone says we are going to bankrupt these companies or that we are going to cripple them somehow. Nooooo I've done the math and now you've seen it. We would need a lot more than a 40% raise to cripple these companies.

And yes at 4 months in he deserves fair wages, no one anywhere should be getting paid pre-covid wages in a post-covid world. With current wages, the only reason to take a job at the big three is for the hope that getting in the door will pay off when wages go up and you become a full-time worker and get bonuses and profit-sharing - things you don't get when you're hired in as a temporary/supplemental employee.

These hourly workers need a raise especially the lower tier $17 an hour workers. The implications on the economy will be harsh especially at this time, but they will make it up by claiming low inventory and raising prices once again since somehow Americans absorbed the price hikes a few years ago. JUST MY OPINION.
@@JamesDeWalt909 I believe pro Athletes are the worst example of rediculouseness,, I regards to compensation. But I think we have to put the blame on fans. Team owners and advertisers know how to sell tickets, hot dogs, beer, and products. As long as fans will pay the prices the team owners will continue to pay the high compensation to put big name players on the field. All the while Police, firemen, teachers and lower tier hourly workers barley get compensated enough to make ends meet. It’s a sad situation when some Americans put games before education and safety in this country.. JUST MY OPINION.
Who in the hell needs to make millions a year to throw a damn ball around and then act like degenerates when they score a touchdown. Emitt Smith in my opinion was the perfect example of a class act that we will probably never see the likes of again. He made an 1/8 of what these guys make now and NEVER acted out or celebrated a touchdown. And he has more yards and touchdown records then any of these players will never have..
@@JamesDeWalt909 yes I’m saying pro athletes are over paid and I’m also saying that team owners are greddy and take advantage. Team owners make way to much and take advantage of players as well. I also believe that these team owners should provide some type of retirement compensation and long term benefits for all players and they should do this on their own without the NFL forcing thier hands to do so. Some of these players end up damaged physically for life and when they are out of the game the pay stops. But then again maybe most of these players should invest more wisely on their futures and not throw thier money away on 5 houses, 10 exotic cars, hundreds of thousands worth of jewelry, and so on. Sometimes I wonder if they realize that when the game is over they still have to pay taxes and payments on all the shit they can’t afford anymore. But then there is always a Tv job or college coaching job that MIGHT compensate them enough to continue their lifestyle at least for the foreseeable future.
@@JamesDeWalt909 I’m not saying set a minimum wage. I’m saying that there needs to be some type of equation that compensates them based on cumulative earnings from the team ownership based on profits on all proceeds taken in over the entire year. Like maybe do an upfront bonus at the start of the year to all players along with a signed contract payed at the end of the year to all players as total yearly compensation. In other words put all the money in the pot and at the end of the year compensate all players the same amount. I mean after all it is a team right?? Why should the quarterback make more than the left tackle?? A team can only be a true team if they all believe in the goal they are trying to accomplish even if they fail they still worked as a team. You can have no team or true team when dissension over pay and value of a player exists. No one like to feel like a tin can being kicked down the road while other cans go on the trophy mantle.
@JamesDeWalt909 hell yea they are greedy but why are you comparing uaw workers to pro athletes ? You can’t give a ceo 29 million and leave the workers with Pennie’s the workers deserve more money by far
I guess I will buy more TSLA shares this morning. And maybe some GM & F puts. Short-term and long-term expirations. I saw unions put Mcdonnell Douglas out of business in St. Louis.

I feel for the auto makers, they're gotten so used to operating with the concessions the union has given that they don't know how to operate when the concessions are gone. I remember when the fight for $15/hr was going through the food service industry and everyone was screaming "they're crazy, it can't work". Then came covid and restaurants like taco bell started offering $15/hr to entice people to come to work instead of collect a government (unemployment) check.
@dogeared100 I want a paid day off every week too, but I'm a business owner and understand that's not realistic. If they want better pay then go find a job that will pay better. All these dudes are doing is extorting the business using labor as leverage. If these guys get what they want they will all be out of work within a decade. Theres no way any business could survive those demands.
Adjusted for inflation, wages for the overwhelming majority of workers in the US have stagnated for 40 years. Literally four straight decades of wage stagnation while astronomical gains in profit and productivity accrued to less than 1% of the population.

A four day work week is all well and good, but your shift is now 10 hours. If you work overtime past that 10 per day, (not past the 40 per week), that’s double time! This gets both management a 40 hour week and protects the UAW from being over worked, as well as creating more positions.

Number crunchers are figuring it out and it won't be pretty for the average American.
@@youtubesucks1499 dude you literally don’t even do your research, and it shows. Posting pure assumptions without knowing! You do realize if COLA is re-established it would put a per diem cap on rising vehicles to help combat that for consumers, and the workers as well. Like do some research before speaking! The most downtime/repairs in shops come from poorly regulated robotic machinery, and most robots can’t even do complex tasks in the shop let alone operate small compartmental jobs. More cost effective to have an actual able bodied employee doing it than robotics, and that’s what these companies know. Why they pay for cheap labor; you’re a statistic to them just like the consumer is!🤦🏻♂️

Good. American workers have been losing for 50 years. I haven’t purchased an American made car due to the poor decisions made at the executive level. If the big 3 will adapt and make better cars they wouldn’t have money problems.
Local 51 support our leadership
I’m glad yawls union is staying by your side. I was a member of the united association, local 100 out of Dallas. 96% of our members voted to go on strike. 100% of our board agreed to go on strike over our contract negotiation. It was very similar to y’all’s situation. The united association fucked us though. They threatened the board of our local with termination. They said that as long as it was a minimum of a 10% raise over three years we had to accept it. They told us if we did not except the deal that they offered, which was about 12% Over three years even though we agreed to not negotiate in 2020 during the pandemic when our last contract was up. We are supposed to collectively bargain every three years and we all agreed to forgo our ability to bargain in 2020 to help the contractors out during the pandemic, now it’s time to pay us back and they didn’t want to and the united association told us if we didn’t except the deal, the contractors offered they would replace all of our board members and assume ownership over our local and except a 10% offer. They completely fucked us moving forward. There is no point in as ever collectively bargaining again as long as the contractors offer 10% over three years every time, I left and started my own business after that. That happened just this year in May.
Support your unions! Cap CEO compensation at 100X their lowest paid employee.
LMAO yeah and watch how fast the employees are dropped.
There’s a thing called write offs, Equity and assets in a company that they justify since the beginning of time, so you can pay them the lowest wage you want that’s not where they make their money.. is the union rep getting paid?
@@rgrn220stock buybacks, and dividends paid out have increased exponentially, and CEO pay is up 40% in the Last 4 years yet I don’t hear anyone complaining about the 30 million they walk away with, but somehow this will “bankrupt” the company. Wake up; stop sipping corporate kool aid!
23.00 x100= 2300 per hr? X 40hr =4784000. For 80 hr, that's 9568000 per week. corporate stock options. Uncertain what C.E.O work week is, so can't calculate. Are you serious? With stock options. Hmm. Corporate C.E.O might make better salary with your idea than there current base salary your corporate ceo might make less than that. Uncertain. You might be giving them a raise in base salary. Uncertain insufficient information.

Local 249 is with you!! We will STAND when we are called!!!

So when the company goes bankrupt...
Wish we could strike here in Arizona for nurse wages.
Wcatlan@ you probly fell for the "right to work" state bs that the Koch bros crafted years ago to deny fair wages for workers. People fall for all kinds of bs. Had a nurse friend used to say 'I don't need no union' then after covid her hospital brought in nurses from India on work permits. Lol. She is whistling a different tune now.
Why can't you? I've seen healthcare professionals strike.
The big 3 made 21 billion in profits in the first half of 2023. UAW Labor costs which are 5-10% of a vehicle breakdown like this...we'll use a topped out employee making $32 an hour as an example. which WE ALL KNOW not everyone makes that lol
146,000x2080 hours = 303,680,000 hours worked full time for the year.
303,680,000x$32= $9,717,760,000
So the total labor cost of 146k workers at fulltime MAX PAY is not even 10 billion dollars for the entire year! (I know there are some skilled trades and SBU workers who make more but there are groups who make less as well)
So what would happen if you gave every single person a 40% wage increase? well let's do the math because that's what intelligent people do lol and for arguments sake let's do it all up front to make it easy numbers wise
$9,717,760,000 x 1.4 = $13,604,864,000
for a grand total difference of $3,887,104,000 (for all three companies combined) oh and by the way this is for the entire year of wages!! So to make these numbers more accurate, let's break it down so it's also in line with the first half of 2023.
$13,604,864,000 / 2 = $6,802,432,000
or an increase of only $1,943,552,000
So...These MORONS in the media who can't even do basic math are over here saying our companies are going to go bankrupt these companies with our ludicrous proposals and yet here it is people right in front of you the broken down math on a full 40% pay increase if every single worker was making at least $32 an hour assuming tiers are wiped out and everyone was full pay plus the pay increase all up front rather than spread out over 4.5 years of contract.
Furthermore let's also breakdown the rest of our benefits for fun, because nothing drives me more nuts than hearing our AVERAGE wages/compensation currently cost the company $64-72 an hour (depending on the source) and the non-union shops only cost their companies $50-55 and Tesla is $45
Healthcare according to Ford cost them 17k per employee, Stellantis tax info says 19k and change. Lets round up to 20k per employee for healthcare or $9.61 an hour.
Let's add in the FICA tax for SS and Medicare OF 15.3% / 2 = 7.65% X 32 = $2.45 an hour
401k contributions of 6.4% and $1 an hour = $3.05 an hour
Dental, Vision, Disability, Life Insurance are all extremely negligible costs probably only adding up to about $1 an hour but let's be friendly and say $2 an hour.
$1,500 bonus yearly (for those who get it) is like 0.72 an hour
So what are we at right now? just a hair under $50 an hour....you can't count vacation and sick days etc. because I based the hours formula on full 2080 hours which is 40 hours a week by 52 weeks in a year. So what else is there?
profit sharing? overtime? those aren't guarantees and could just as likely be 0 so you can't include those...You have to include things that are guaranteed to show it's an actual yearly cost towards compensation. But hey even if we added in profit sharing of lets say 10k for the year that's only $5 an hour.
So we are at $55 an hour for a maxed out employee. NOT AVERAGE...MAXED OUT!
I mean...even if I was forgetting a few fringe benefits...after seeing the math do you really think we are missing enough fringe benefits and costs that are as expensive as HEALTHCARE?!?! no way lol AND even if there was, $32 is not the average compensation that's top pay for the vast VAST majority of members.
I hate it when you sit around and everyone says we are going to bankrupt these companies or that we are going to cripple them somehow. Nooooo I've done the math and now you've seen it. We would need a lot more than a 40% raise to cripple these companies.
Amen! Medicare 4 all!

I initially thought UAW and it’s members where just being greedy, but after I found out that MARRY BARRAS the CEO of GM made 29 million in 2022 I have changed my opinion. These hourly workers need a raise especially the lower tier $17 an hour workers. The implications on the economy will be harsh especially at this time, but they will make it up by claiming low inventory and raising prices once again since somehow Americans absorbed the price hikes a few years ago. JUST MY OPINION.
@@JamesDeWalt909 I believe pro Athletes are the worst example of rediculouseness,, I regards to compensation. But I think we have to put the blame on fans. Team owners and advertisers know how to sell tickets, hot dogs, beer, and products. As long as fans will pay the prices the team owners will continue to pay the high compensation to put big name players on the field. All the while Police, firemen, teachers and lower tier hourly workers barley get compensated enough to make ends meet. It’s a sad situation when some Americans put games before education and safety in this country..
JUST MY OPINION.
Who in the hell needs to make millions a year to throw a damn ball around and then act like degenerates when they score a touchdown. Emitt Smith in my opinion was the perfect example of a class act that we will probably never see the likes of again. He made an 1/8 of what these guys make now and NEVER acted out or celebrated a touchdown. And he has more yards and touchdown records then any of these players will never have..
@@JamesDeWalt909 yes I’m saying pro athletes are over paid and I’m also saying that team owners are greddy and take advantage. Team owners make way to much and take advantage of players as well. I also believe that these team owners should provide some type of retirement compensation and long term benefits for all players and they should do this on their own without the NFL forcing thier hands to do so. Some of these players end up damaged physically for life and when they are out of the game the pay stops. But then again maybe most of these players should invest more wisely on their futures and not throw thier money away on 5 houses, 10 exotic cars, hundreds of thousands worth of jewelry, and so on. Sometimes I wonder if they realize that when the game is over they still have to pay taxes and payments on all the shit they can’t afford anymore. But then there is always a Tv job or college coaching job that MIGHT compensate them enough to continue their lifestyle at least for the foreseeable future.
@@JamesDeWalt909 I’m not saying set a minimum wage. I’m saying that there needs to be some type of equation that compensates them based on cumulative earnings from the team ownership based on profits on all proceeds taken in over the entire year. Like maybe do an upfront bonus at the start of the year to all players along with a signed contract payed at the end of the year to all players as total yearly compensation. In other words put all the money in the pot and at the end of the year compensate all players the same amount. I mean after all it is a team right?? Why should the quarterback make more than the left tackle?? A team can only be a true team if they all believe in the goal they are trying to accomplish even if they fail they still worked as a team. You can have no team or true team when dissension over pay and value of a player exists. No one like to feel like a tin can being kicked down the road while other cans go on the trophy mantle.
@JamesDeWalt909 hell yea they are greedy but why are you comparing uaw workers to pro athletes ? You can’t give a ceo 29 million and leave the workers with Pennie’s the workers deserve more money by far
