UAW: We want to work 32 hours a week and get paid for 40 hours. And we want to make $65/hr. Average American College Grad: I want to study for 7 years to learn everything I need to know to get an entry level job. Then I want to work 60 hours a week making $35/hr equivalent so I can learn more. This is the problem in the country. Blue collar used to mean "essential" and "works harder."

I still find it amazing that The CEO is Toyota only makes 7 million and runs a far more successful company than GM..where the CEO made $29 million What is wrong with corporate culture? Mary Barra said 92% of her compensation was based on performance...You run a less successful company and you get paid more?
All the politicians coming for a photo op, and doing nothing to assist in getting a deal signed, I hope all the strikers are smart enough to to see through the fake “we care so much” move
Do any of these people realize the average monthly payment of a new car is $770/mo? Their industry is going to crash unless the UAW plans to pay every household in America, not just its members.
This fight is not middle class vs middle class. It's middle class vs Corporate greed. Vehicles are high because shareholders and Ceo's need their 29million salary not the workers . The UAW took pay cuts and car prices continued to rise regardless. Every middle/working class person deserve a fair raise. These businesses make millions off people working to make companies profits.
I work making ford explorer seats for an non-union plant, and now we are all getting laid off. Forced to get unemployment checks. How is this fair? We are not UNION!!
If these jobs are going to Mexico then they will go to Mexico it's nothing we can do. Who the hell can compete with a worker that's making $27 per day.
@tbnewlife....exactly, if they go they go....we are NOT gon work any longer til our backs go out just to make enrich these super rich, it's time to share the fruits of OUR labor
Unfortunately, Electric Vehicles are going to put a significant amount of the workforce out of work, in the coming years. Which Political Party is pushing those EV's, by the way ?

Just by your comment, I can tell you're a trump support and probably never had a union job or job. Keep following the orange 🍊 man and not have nothing . Let's go to jail, trump.
CEO pay largest carmakers GM $29M, Honda: $2.3M, Nissan $4.5M, Toyota: $6.7M. She sounded indignant about how much she makes! $26M more than Honda’s CEO and Honda reinvested in the company also!
I don't believe the UAW is endorsing Biden. If they ever do, it would be a big mistake. Biden is for EV. Basically Biden will step over other people's interest in order to push the most politically correct option. And, EV is part of being politically correct. Never endorse or side with Biden. Biden is not on your side and he never will be.
I stand w/UAW but 500 a week strike pay is just as bad as what the big 3 is doing. We have children suffering through all of this . All party’s need to come together and figure this crap out.
Can an actual UAW member tell me what the pay tiers are? There is so much misinformation out there. Some people say $16.50/hr while others are saying $32/hr. Wall Street says its $55-$65/hr when including total the compensation like health care, 401k matches, profit sharing, etc. I'm just trying to understand from someone who actually works there...Thanks!
I don’t work there, but From what I’ve seen, over the years there’s been a lot of rule changes and restructuring from all sides, so chances are it’s all true to some extent. If you started working there in the 80’s/90’s, you most likely have pension, good wage that was fought for, etc, if you’re new you’re getting thrown under the bus with temporary workers being stuck at low rate for several years and lack of retirement and future path to making a wage that ensures some sense of independence. And lots of people in between. It seems to depends on who was grandfathered in, and individual plants being somewhat different in how they handle it.
@teslapower5461 not that they can't, they won't. Once you find out numbers you can do the math and find out the truth. For instance I saw video yesterday about a guy on the picket line who said it took him 9 years to get from the lowest pay to the highest. I have heard highest pay is $32/hr. If we assume a low pay of $18 that is a 77% increase in 9 years or just slightly under 9% per year. I wonder how many here have gotten a 9% raise just once in the last 9 years. I know I havent.
Low tier employees starts at 15.50 an hour and medical insurance only but the problem for me is where does labor laws stand in on this situation how can they just allow the corporations to work employees at full-time hours but lower pay and now they are cutting hours to make it look good for them which is not fair cuz obviously people have learned how to make some ends meet under these circumstances and now they are not on schedule at all so now they have no income.. like really how fair is this. Labor laws needs to get in place and pay these people for there hard work and time.
I hope I am wrong on this but I am starting to see similarities of what happened in 1976 with the united rubber workers that destroyed Akron, Ohio. Rubber workers went on strike for 3 to 4 months. Once a deal was reached the big 3 tire makers at the time started the process of moving operations out of Akron to other parts of US and world. What also is disturbing is Fain focuses on CEO pay but does not point out these companies have bloated management, administration and vice presidents who perform redundant tasks. Yeah these companies could pay assembly workers more if they got rid of a bunch of vice presidents. Why hasn’t fain mentioned this at all.
Fain is a socialist. Ask anybody who has lived under it . Listen to him talk , it’s all there . I am so sad to see this happening to middle America . Ironic , some are cheering it .
This guy makes 200K a year, and is telling his subjects to risk their Jobs for a 40 percent pay raise. This will not end well by the conclusion of the decade
They need union for what they get. Like you say if these people were on their own they get the avg rate in Detroit which is $21/hr now some getting $32. Those of you making $32 better wise up. You work for your families not for the guy next to you making $18.
@@JoseRodriguez-on9il well said. Union or not, at the end of the day it's every person for themselves. After all that old generation of UAW workers didn't go on strike for the new guy and risk what " they got'.
What Fain is doing to our economy right now is truly disgraceful and disturbing. New cars are already significantly expensive. This will only make it worse. Not only that, 32 hour workweeks for 40% more paid is NOT negotiating in good faith. These people are holding our economy hostage.
What are you talking about....Have you forgotten about 2008-2009 when these people gave up many of their benefits when management old them it was necessary to keep the doors open?..and they would be given back when the company did better?

I always wonder why upper management lets things get to this point?
