I'm so proud with all UAW members for all the incredible work and sacrifices you all made to STAND UP against corporate greed, Reaganomics has beat the working class folks for 40 years but organized labor is finally turning the tide against the greed of those who think the working class aren't worth the hard work that makes them rich. THANK YOU
Reagan certainly didn't help us, that's a given. But why not mention Bill Clinton signing off on NAFTA too? That's been a much larger dagger into us American autoworkers than Reaganomics. Why not mention Obamacare? It penalizes us American autoworkers for having a "Cadillac health care plan." Why not mention all the inflation caused by Biden's policies? Or Biden allowing millions of illegal immigrants into our country, depleting our resources we use to take care of our own poor and downtrodden, and all but destroying our standard of living. I've been an autoworker nearly 27 years, and no one has done less for us, and done more to hurt us, than Democrats. Doesn't matter how much money we get up front when Democrat policy and/or inaction takes most of it our of our backsides.
How does reduced federal income taxes, reduced federal spending, reduced federal government regulation, and a tighter money supply hurt the working the class? It helps the working class. Doing the opposite hurts the working class the most with higher taxes, more overhead, and high inflation
@nafnaf0 we have been trying to explain to conservatives this shit for decades. Yall picked your side and sided with billionaires, destroying the middle class in the process, we don't need to explain to you morons anymore. Your ideology is dying with the youth and it cannot come soon enough.
'organized labor is shrinking by the 1000"s especially in the building trades. its all but gone except for a few areas. new york which used to be the stronghold is now only about 65%. then again cities as we know it will rever be what there were before the flu hit .

Yeah you really locked down that job security. Just wait until they come for your job and you’re replaced by some other UAW unit. You’ll be saying so much for that career I thought I had.
Well done, good and faithful servants. I am responding to you on behalf of my husband Jerome Smith, who worked 30 yrs for Chrysler. Now retired, and in a wheelchair. He thanks you for your leadership for the workers of today. God bless you.
I want to congratulate you Sean and your team . You definitely hit them good and best ,for all of are members. You also keep us really informed unlike contracts in the past. Thank you
You’re leaving out the important things in our contract language the IUAW paid ZERO attention to. There’s a shit ton left on the table. Our grievance procedure is a complete joke. We have members all over the country wrongfully terminated and held hostage by the company and the IUAW due to the contract language and abuse of power on the unions side of the equation.

They haven’t ended tiers. Second tier workers won’t receive retirement healthcare or a pension. Also by returning workers BEFORE a ratification vote loses leverage.
I am so grateful for the heart that drives UAW members. My husband is really glad to be a GM employee because of the camaraderie and meeting dear friends there. He hung in there, as many many many of you have, as a temp, and was fortunate to be hired in. It feels AMAZING to be a part of this family, a union of workers who MATTER. Thank you so much, UAW workers, for enduring being on strike, hanging in there in the uncertainty, and for fighting for what is right. You are worth SO MUCH MORE than you have been compensated for and we have laid waste to that underpaid underappreciated garbage that was. Upon ratification, that garbage DIES. The effects of its stink over the years cannot be overstated, and my heart is with those who were treated so poorly for so long. Thank you to the President, and his Team, and the local Leaders who get s*** done!
This is a great contact for new hires, temps, and in progression workers, not for the legacy workers who got basically nothing for the last 16 years. For us who are about to retire, it’s a slap in the face.
Been saying the same thing. We are expected to continue to eat crow. We gave up everything, we struggled, we moved, we sacrificed. Yet we continue to bargain for temps and in-progression. I get it to a point, but enough already....
Ill be waiting for the white book. If everyone's on our payscale now. We should be able to transfer anywhere now. If You want to transfer to a parts depot or warehouse in Florida and retire. You should be able to, i heard no mention of this. Raise their wage and continue to block us from transferring to these locations, is in my opinion BS
Why wait four years? We are not in progression. What about medical retirement? What about time half over 8? What about the attendance program we had in the 1990s? What about the point system for a 401 retirement?
Yes all of us will be crying when we retire with no medical benefits. They took it away and just gave us more per hour putting us in a higher tax bracket. Genius! @IAmACheeseBurger @@IAmACheeseBurger
Glad all back at work. A union man said it is a good contract if each side walks away a little unhappy. Shawn Fain gave up the 40% raise, defined pensions, and the 32 hours work week, but won battery jobs and a 25% raise. The company wanted 11% and settled for 25%. Both side gave something up and settled. Good to see all the men and women back to work.
Please do not ever vote for our country. If you think this is a good thing it just shows what an idiot you are. I hope all the car manufactures go broke so they cannot give the union what they’re asking for that. Shawn is a true idiot.
Soon you won't be, you think ,GM is going to take a 30%/40% profit cut? They will pass the loss onto the customer and shut down plants to make that money back.
When did we unite? They divide us all throughout this contract. They never have us come together to talk about what this union really needs and they use your local leaders to facilitate what the government what’s and that’s a controlled workforce.
Please remember the workers at UAW represented privately owned tier 1 parts plants that make half or less than big 3 workers but make ALL the parts necessary to build the big three vehicles. Great job UAW team, keep it up!
Next time maybe add in something to stop them from this 12 hours notice on Halloween to report to our shift that day. We should at minimum get 24 hours notice 😡 …local 602
I am happy for the big three great job to the negotiators on getting this done. I hope that uaw international will come fight for mack trucks. We need you.
Glad you said 'the working class' rather than in the US usually 'the middle class'; for many, many, reasons; e.g. they are two completely different things; and meanings; on nearly every level. Thank you to all those who were on strike and held fast; that doesn't just help you, but everyone, in the US and WW. Solidarity and Best Wishes.
@@Doug8D3 it’s plenty enough. It’s actually too much in my opinion but rather have it at ratification then wait another 3.5 years since I’ve already waited 8 years for top out. *Edit* 17 years here
That is GREAT for the Temps !!! What about the SENIORITY EMPLOYEES that have went 10, 15 yrs.... and longer WITH OUT ANY RAISES??? 25% witch is really 15 ,% and you make it sound good
Inflated wages for inflated ego's of the union membership. I worked for GM for almost 8 years and a lot of those people had ego problems. One of the worst experiences of my life. Solidarity my ass
Why we aren't, workers hired after the bankruptcy, participate in the VIBA, which is own and run by UAW same as seniority workers? We are paying the same union dues like others, but we don't have the medical benefits for retirement like others. Why the UAW made us second category workers?
How about personal days for life family, How about real contribution for Health care after retirement ? 1.25 hr worked is ridiculous . Need more than wage increases
Not sure why we go back to work before the vote. Also didn’t get any info from the local on when report to work. Revived a email and text from GM 16 minutes after I was supposed to be at work. 🤷🏻♂️
Team work- sticking together for each other till contract is settled is the winning ticket. Not like my IAM Union 20 - 30 years ago- weak from the top to the bottom in Fresno California.
The company I work for is wanting to help make EV batteries. We are not unionized. Hopefully it will be written in that they gotta come from unionized companies.
This is the proof that in Solidarity we always win...peoples that had said negative things about union are the ones that are job scared and are company loyal
Compensate us for the product we build @400 units x3 300 plus days a year critical7s mandatory overtime no sick days Unit goes on to the earth with monthly payments for the next 10 years. END CORPORATE GREED NOW.
@79glane928 you don't have to, my job will be fine. Remember, once they start doing layoffs to save the company money, low senority will go out first, enjoy your $44 an hour but I wouldn't buy anything big until you're safe from layoff.
When I started work in 1999 I started at 11.67 23 years later I’m at 32. A dollar a year?!? You think that’s fair?? Body beat the hell up and I am worth nothing to this place? The government got paid back, the CEOs got paid back. Everyone buy the traditional worker. This contract is life changing for some, but for others it’s another confirmation that no one gives a damn about you if you’re at top rate. Damn shame
I worked at GM Lordstown had my job stolen by are union Ben Strickland worse chop chairman but he got a job with the international union he helped management eliminate jobs
That’s all nice and good for the temps and new hires that they are getting up to 150% wage increase. But the people that have been here and gone through the bankruptcy and gave everything up get 10% year one and 25% total in 4 1/2 years? I am all in favor of everyone making the same money but the last 2 contracts have favored the newer people and not the people that were there while the bad times were happening. I don’t know what the answer is but just doesn’t seem right to me or the guys I work with. Local 2209
Lies, Lies, Lies! Part-Time temps with 1and a half service to 3 years get nothing but a raise. No path to get seniority. So not all temps only full-time temps. Stop lying.
Agree with everything aside from a 9 month probationary period for the temp workers that just seems far too long and could open the door to further abuses. 6 months at a maximum.
I don't understand why Fain in talking about the salary workers getting pay raises because they are not UAW members and have nothing to do with UAW. Were the salary workers on the picket lines , NO ! Are they on our side , NO ! I guess the UAW does have salary personnel , I didn't know that , sorry to all !
I work for Stellantis and us SBU employees do the testing from design to the plants building the vehicles. We test parts and vehicle prototype things before they get put on vehicles and then sent to customers.
If we're back at work, when will there be a q and a? How would that happen? After each shift? 2019 we did that at a hotel way before we went back to work. Why go to work before it's all done ? If no comes back do we stay working or back on the line? Thats too much if so. Doesn't make sense. Please explain the process
American people research the products you buy see if there dependable and reliable and price point it’s your hard earned money you’re spending on a car don’t buy garbage products remember you have choices
It’s a no for me. You didn’t do anything for trades. $1.50 an hour for tool allowance? It’s not like the company won’t use that against us constantly. $60 a week? That would barely buy the kind of tools we need to work on this garbage equipment this company buys. I expected better.
They had a pay scale for trades on the GM negotiations website a week ago. But they took it off. Average pay for journeyman was between 47-50 hourly before shift premiums and tooling allowance. Idk why they took skilled trades off, but its outdated info now anyway.
2 contracts in a row for temps and new hires, all the crap our uaw leaders should have never allowed to happen 13 years ago. Now i gotta wait until my retirement year to get this full raise?
Legacy workers ate the bullsh#$, but we keep eating grass. I agree we need to bottom up but us legacy guys cant keep being stuck in the mud. Say im being greedy but i gave and im still waiting. If Gm cells are under out master agreement, i should be able to transfer anywhere, anywhere GM period.... Parts Depot, GMCH, anywhere...
Without a defined pension agreement they haven’t got anything. Pensions are worth millions. Wages are worth thousands. If I was a UAW member I would have rather taken less pay and got a good pension. Very little is being said about the pensions or lack of them.
GOD BLESS YOU & KEEP YOU SHAWN FAIN! 🥰💯👍🏽Thanks for all your hard work. Now, take a month off, take you fiance Keesha someplace warm for the 2 of you can have a nice holiday, then *COME BACK & RUN FOR PRESIDENT, PLEASE!* The American people need a leader like you. Esp. us folks who can't unionize.
Working conditions? Newsflash: its not 1920 anymore. They want $100 bucks an hour for a 4 day work week. Stop lying. Stop the greed. I been to the factories. They dont lift a finger and move slow as molasses. Its all done by robots today. @@testacals
As if the price of cars aren't crazy expensive already. Just kicking the poor and middle class even further back. Way to go America, that's what this country is all about!! Stand proud!
Once again, trades got screwed. Production workers have nearly caught trades in hourly wages. And a great contract if you're a temp worker. So congrats to them. On top of that, we basically got back what we were owed due to lousy contracts and caving negotiators in the past...and have to wait another 4.5 years to get all of it. No for me.
I need to vent. First off we have to go back to work even before we vote on the contract which is total BS. Secondly you give me just a 3 hour notice to report to work? Come on people. A minimum 24 hour notice would have been nice but a 48 hour notice would have been even better.
Its seems temps are high priority. Donr get me wrong was a temp myself, but I worked. Didn't miss a day did what I was told to do without complaint. No lip service. And yes we should be paid same for same WORK
His goal was never all of us. His goal was to get more membership under the UAW umbrella. There is no way those that are topped out received the "justice" that's deserved. Notice he didn't mention a percentage for those employees. 2 contracts in a row.
I'm so proud with all UAW members for all the incredible work and sacrifices you all made to STAND UP against corporate greed, Reaganomics has beat the working class folks for 40 years but organized labor is finally turning the tide against the greed of those who think the working class aren't worth the hard work that makes them rich.

Here’s another key takeaway, the rest is up to you!! No!!!
Lies, Lies, Lies! Part-Time temps with 1and a half service to 3 years get nothing but a raise. No path to get seniority. So not all temps only full-time temps. Stop lying.
Truth!
❤❤❤❤Great job!! Also great job to the negotiation team 🎉 History in the making!!
Shawn Fain you did a great job. You have changed history 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I love how you conveniently left out the good or bad part 👍😆
What is the Starting wage for production now?
Best contract in my time with Generous Mother.
Agree with everything aside from a 9 month probationary period for the temp workers that just seems far too long and could open the door to further abuses. 6 months at a maximum.
I don't understand why Fain in talking about the salary workers getting pay raises because they are not UAW members and have nothing to do with UAW.
Were the salary workers on the picket lines , NO ! Are they on our side , NO ! I guess the UAW does have salary personnel , I didn't know that , sorry to all !
They are UAW. SBU employees. very overlooked obviously with how little people know we exist.
I got a text from my local saying some of the plant medical nurses are uaw represented and that they arent management but they are salary.
I work for Stellantis and us SBU employees do the testing from design to the plants building the vehicles. We test parts and vehicle prototype things before they get put on vehicles and then sent to customers.
@@kennyraffler1728 Sorry I didn't know about the UAW having salary personnel.
@@Typexviiib ... Sorry I didn't know the UAW had salary personnel . I was thinking management when the word salary came up.
We love the complete UAW team
Did they negotiate anything for the retiree's?
Nope. They don't care about Retired workers
Retirees had 30 to 50 years to negotiate for their retirement.
If we're back at work, when will there be a q and a? How would that happen? After each shift? 2019 we did that at a hotel way before we went back to work. Why go to work before it's all done ? If no comes back do we stay working or back on the line? Thats too much if so. Doesn't make sense. Please explain the process
LOL.
Saving strike fund.
Retired workers get to eat more rice and beans!!!!
Retired workers had decades to safeguard their future.
I love these brothers!
American people research the products you buy see if there dependable and reliable and price point it’s your hard earned money you’re spending on a car don’t buy garbage products remember you have choices
Consumer reports
It’s a no for me. You didn’t do anything for trades. $1.50 an hour for tool allowance? It’s not like the company won’t use that against us constantly. $60 a week? That would barely buy the kind of tools we need to work on this garbage equipment this company buys. I expected better.
It’s time for trades to either get its own bargaining unit or find a real trade union.
Understandable! Gather, discuss and vote as you see fit. Many want more.
You guys have to purchase your own tools to work on their equipment
@@sherbstone yes they do
They had a pay scale for trades on the GM negotiations website a week ago. But they took it off. Average pay for journeyman was between 47-50 hourly before shift premiums and tooling allowance. Idk why they took skilled trades off, but its outdated info now anyway.
2 contracts in a row for temps and new hires, all the crap our uaw leaders should have never allowed to happen 13 years ago. Now i gotta wait until my retirement year to get this full raise?
Takes time to dig out of a hole. New guys are finally getting what we had from the start. This is a good thing.
Vote it down! You don’t have to agree to it. I agree completely.
I'll have to work till I'm 70 to get my full pay increase. 😢
@@1Ringy-Dingy how so?
Legacy workers ate the bullsh#$, but we keep eating grass. I agree we need to bottom up but us legacy guys cant keep being stuck in the mud. Say im being greedy but i gave and im still waiting. If Gm cells are under out master agreement, i should be able to transfer anywhere, anywhere GM period.... Parts Depot, GMCH, anywhere...
Without a defined pension agreement they haven’t got anything. Pensions are worth millions. Wages are worth thousands. If I was a UAW member I would have rather taken less pay and got a good pension. Very little is being said about the pensions or lack of them.
GOD BLESS YOU & KEEP YOU SHAWN FAIN! 🥰💯👍🏽Thanks for all your hard work. Now, take a month off, take you fiance Keesha someplace warm for the 2 of you can have a nice holiday, then *COME BACK & RUN FOR PRESIDENT, PLEASE!* The American people need a leader like you. Esp. us folks who can't unionize.
Keep working for the good of the people
What good? You mean greed
@@stoneyj1a1 Better working conditions is greed ?
Working conditions? Newsflash: its not 1920 anymore. They want $100 bucks an hour for a 4 day work week. Stop lying. Stop the greed. I been to the factories. They dont lift a finger and move slow as molasses. Its all done by robots today. @@testacals
Guess you gave up on getting pensions back which is what you were talking big about in the beginning
My profit sharing when I worked at GM was a coffee ☕☕ and Doughnut 🍩🍩 for 3 years and then they even Took that away....
Coffee, donuts and Steely Dan, quickly becoming a foggy memory for so many hard working Americans
Here, just pay more taxes instead 👍
As if the price of cars aren't crazy expensive already.
Just kicking the poor and middle class even further back.
Way to go America, that's what this country is all about!! Stand proud!
Did you fix the suggestion program so that GM can’t steal the employees ideas or the out sourcing of the family leave act
Once again, trades got screwed. Production workers have nearly caught trades in hourly wages. And a great contract if you're a temp worker. So congrats to them. On top of that, we basically got back what we were owed due to lousy contracts and caving negotiators in the past...and have to wait another 4.5 years to get all of it. No for me.
It’ll pass. Temps will make sure of it.
I work in trades and it is weird that production workers are so close jn pay, but its not like you’ve got a better paying job out there
Blessings from Christ, all employees just got blessed,,,,,,
Fire these slackers! Plenty of non-union and illegal immigrants who would gladly fill those jobs. Win win.
No pension, No future
Since it’s not ratified just yet nothing is set in place just yet correct?
Just like when the strike stared we are working without a contract.
Congratulations!
I need to vent. First off we have to go back to work even before we vote on the contract which is total BS. Secondly you give me just a 3 hour notice to report to work? Come on people. A minimum 24 hour notice would have been nice but a 48 hour notice would have been even better.
You went Temps all the way what about seniority 25 % while Temps are getting 89% to 115 % give me a break you won the easy fight
Solidarity forever
16 years and I have no problem with this. We need to be on one pay scale.
Its seems temps are high priority. Donr get me wrong was a temp myself, but I worked. Didn't miss a day did what I was told to do without complaint. No lip service. And yes we should be paid same for same WORK
@@Odin79_LTDnot just the same pay scale, same benefits as well. Hard no for me and I have 17 yrs
There are Part time Temps and full time Temps! Part time Temps are not getting hired. Please use proper language in updates to come
Where’s the info on trades ?
His goal was never all of us. His goal was to get more membership under the UAW umbrella. There is no way those that are topped out received the "justice" that's deserved. Notice he didn't mention a percentage for those employees. 2 contracts in a row.
Soooo, let me guess you want to sacrifice the temps and continue to make more than everyone else?
You dont have the votes.
AWWWWW. Stop crying and get back to work.
I have been a UAW member since 1979 😊
I'm confused, so all hourly that were at $18 to $30 dollars an hour? Or over time?
There are no more tiers, but there are tiers. I want to know if Shawn has Bell's Palsy, or he has had a stroke we deserve to know. Left side.
Vote no from ford
Temp contract. Second time . Uaw is a business
