Working with stage 4 cancer
Welcome to the beautiful healthcare system of America
The fellow with cancer may have had no choice but to keep working to the bitter end . He may have been out of sick leave and vacation days and had to still pay his portion of Doctor bills as well as keep the household running. Such is the reality of getting ill in the U.S.A these days. Get sick and go broke , even WITH insurance !
I'm glad Mercedes is disciplining the CEO for breaking American law.
UAW is going to raise costs for all legacy car makers and its not good for american workers.
There is a tear in my beer--I will bet they gave him a raise-they are going to vote YES
UAW fired a CEO?
Is it good for employee?
Is this a threat?
Campaigning against a union is not illegal. A company can campaign, giving their reasons on why they feel that you shouldn't choose a union. I know this because I was in such a situation roughly 20 years ago. However, the approach is key. Some things, like threats are obviously frowned upon.
Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act (the Act) guarantees employees "the right to self-organization, to form, join, or assist labor organizations, to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing, and to engage in other concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection," as well as the right "to refrain from any or all such activities." When the CEO threatened the closure of the plant and the loss of jobs he went over the line and was intimating the work force.
Auto companies entering the usa should automate to the fullest, using more robots, and minimise use of humans, except for using well paid well skilled engineers to manage the robots
Afternoon mate
Anyone can come up with stories about someone being illegally fired when there are thousands and thousands of workers.
In some places/industries, employers just have to deal with unions. In the US workplaces get to choose, but the deal is employers don't to muddy the deciision with implied threats or intimidation. Its not terrible for employers, they give up the lobbying to get some non-union workplaces. Its a compromise, other places have other compromises, but places without some give and take usually have very bad industrial relations.
Not true he never said our plant would close
How dare the Mercedes guy talk truth about the union!
I mean it's like he doesn't want to see the progress of UAW jobs going away as they price themselves out of the market?
Ford and GM seem to be successful despite being unionized. Depends on how it’s managed.
Ford and GM have both been bailed out with 4 Billion each in the last year or so. GM used the money for a stock buyback. Ford probably used it to pay for one year's worth of recalls.
@@DaxVJacobson Yeah, I know they’ve been bailed out in the past. But I thought they had to pay it back. 🤔
I can't remember what the recent bailout was called so I'm not sure what the terms were
@@Shane-zl9ryGM still owes from the 2008 bailout. GM, Volkswagen and Toyota owe 100s of Billions of dollars in debt.
End of Mercedes absolutely ridiculous
Good
Power resides with the Union. Of course the final arbiter will be the customers. If the Daimler cars are value for money sales will continue and improve.
One Union to rule them all…
100% of German autoworkers are union workers. Somehow, in some capacity, German carmakers continue to build cars in union-strong Germany and are still very profitable. German build quality is much higher than non-union workers in the USA. Union-strong Germans don’t have to worry about going bankrupt from being out of work or getting sick or their families going bankrupt trying to pay hospital bills. There is another way to run a successful country and live a successful life without giving everything away to multi-billionaires that can fire you in a split second as we see with non-union Tesla workers.
With respect, what you have said is not 100% true. Most of it is true though. For example, German auto is struggling to compete right now due to having to maintain higher pricing, to pay for all of those benefits you mentioned. In America, Ford and G.M. are going through the same problems, and due to the rise of e.v.'s .
Also German car makers are becoming increasingly expensive, uncompetitive and inflexible. Mostly due to suffocating over-regulation by EU and German government, but also in significant part due to the burden that are unions. Each individual should prepare themselves for the possibility they might get fired, real life is not kingergarten, and if you try to make it so, you get crap for results. There will be no jobs to unionize when hardcore capitalist chinese autoindustry streamrolls over the unionized utopia that is the German auto sector.
@@frederickthegreat1352Compared to the German Unions, the Swedish Unions are said to be weak... 😯🥺
But at least there are few striking days in Sweden.
In Sweden the export industry determines the level of the salary rises each or every second or third year, when the agreements are made. Everyone else follows suit. Almost no exceptions.
If the personnel must be reduced for any reason, it's normally no problem to solve, last in , first out.
So if you are "last in" you don't buy a new house or a new car in that position...
Tesla Germany is not unionized.
German car industry is in crisis.
Car Unions are creating the financial incentives for humanoid robotics.
You should have both sides to make it a better Company! Workers need information to be able to build a Strong American Company! Good Luck who ever wins this Battle! When in the Union they want you to only vote union, what is f you don’t agree?
We wouldn’t need the union if management played fair.
Should always have a union. For the companies sake. Knowing what your employees think is a good thing.
Why have your company ruled by a foreign entity?
Yeah, USA workers tend to not want to unionize. It goes against individual freedom and responsibility. But the companies caused unions to become popular again. They thought the workers wouldn’t notice their paychecks were not keeping up with inflation. Uh Duh?
Now that EU gas prices are way too high for car manufacturing, all the car makers have to choose to go to the US or China for manufacturing.
well, China has no Unions!!!😉
Yes China has unions,it’s called Communism 😃

Fired for telling the truth which is why we are all going down while UAW Plays a putrid fiddle.
That's right, and the reason why your kids should work too, after elementary school and for at least 12 hours a day. And since you are such an educated, well balanced individual, I'm sure you and your family don't need medical care or a home either. You will be able to handle that all on your own! How delusional and ignorant can one be...
They are going down because prices are too d*** High and interest rates are astronomical. Aren't you paying attention to what's really going on in financial world? When it comes to automobiles and houses, along with credit.
@@joergmaass using context from over 100 years ago is a flaccid argument. Hey, did you hear? We put a man on the moon 🌙!
@@teebone2157 you can pay attention for both of us. All you do from your basement.
On that basis Mercedes could be doomed.
It is too bad that the CEO was fired for expressing his opinion. I agree with him. Working in a union shop was not fun. Everyone should have the right to express their opinion, especially when data is readily available from previous companies that have gone bankrupt, significantly due to excessive unionized employee compensation. I would also include excessive executive compensation as part of the problem. Both are bad!! It is much better to have management and labor work together for the betterment of the company, instead of fighting each other. China and Russia are elated when we are unable to work together for the good of everyone.
Wow that’s a whole mouthful of nothing
Yeah unionize the DOD. Army,Navy,Air Force,Marines and Coast Guard.
Many OEMs have been put out of business by unions and this will continue as long as greed is the primary driver. Worker or executive greed are not different.
Usually the greed is on the employer end
Anyway, it makes no difference. All these factories will shut down when these ICE car factories get wiped out by the EVs.
USA, USA, USA 😂😂😂😂
Unions are only needed when companies [and their managers] treat employees poorly.
In my 40 years experience, most companies NEED unions!
I do not like it.
A lot of things are passing in the automotive world that are news but it seems you're not seeing what really matters, only thrash news no one cares, do you know what is new Mercedes-Benz G580 EV? the new Mercedes-Benz EQS?, the new Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV?
He’s right!!
Abolish unions
Unions are pointless today.
3 % unemployment, if you don’t like your job just get another job.
Also US car manufacturing is doomed , Ford & GM has been shrinking for decades.
Borrowing money to give to shareholders & getting government grants & cheap loans is the only way they can make a profit.
Not a sustainable model.
Long Live UAW
These mercedes people will be sad when their jobs go to the United Mexican States. I am not anti-union.
The UAW president is a great man Kudos to him
The sad fact is that unions generate animosity between "management" and the hourly work force. Creating such discord and actually referring to management as the "enemy" is 100% the wrong culture to foster. As long as this atmosphere of division exists with unions driving hatred among its members in despising people of its own company I'll never support the unions. The scenario goes like this: ask a union worker on the assembly line, "who is your #1 enemy"? and they will answer "management". Ask a line worker at a non union shop, "who is your #1 enemy"? And they will refer to their most ardent competitor. (such as Chevy vs Ford). Union attitudes suck. Also unions protect and defend bad workers and inappropriate behavior. I've worked in automotive union run shops and I've seen the practice of protecting horrible workers which rewards low productivity. Union workers boast how little they work and what they can "get away with" while reaping huge benefits and pay raises. Demotivates the good hard working conscientious employee. Unions,,,, a concept that has outlived its usefulness and thrives on corruption. We need more leaders like Ronald Reagan who busted the air traffic controllers union as the strikes were inappropriate and not good for anyone. My father who was involved with negotiations as management representative opposing the unions demands had his car shot up with bullet holes in Detroit! 👎 With unions.
In response to your sad fact(?) the realities are that I have experienced are somewhat different. The enemy of the workers is indeed a management that attempts to keep the workers out of unions that can collectively bargain on their behalf. That manages to go to the extremes of firing people who even mention unions, and intimidates others with the same. Unions do not defend bad individuals. Many times charges are falsely levied at workers. Workers without a union and are "AT WILL'" in 47 states. Meaning they can be fired "at will" with no reason. Productivity on an assembly line is determined by industrial engineers who do time studies and set the production rate. Those rates are then discussed sometimes heatedly and determined with the cooperation of union representation. There are no rewards for low productivity. I have been in a non-union stamping room where the workers disabled the safety gear that protected their hands in attempts to keep up with an unreasonable speed that could not be negotiated. Perhaps if there was a union the young woman who wasn't fast enough would still have her hands. I was also involved in a labor dispute where one of the supervisors drove his car up onto a sidewalk and sent 12 people to the hospital. When Ronald Reagan got away with union busting it became the norm. Working people in the U.S. were discouraged from joining unions. As a result their wages declined, and their standard of living failed to keep up with the times. During the Reagan years the federal minimum wage was 6.55 an hour and was kept that way until 2009 when it was raised to $7.25 and kept that way again. It is set to increase this year to $11.00. So spare us the platitudes about how great things were under Reagan et al.
BTW: If unions are so bad why do almost all businesses and professionals join them??
@@oscarjohnson9156I never said things were great under Reagan. Just that his busting up of a union was appropriate. (learn how to read). 50 years ago nearly 1/3rd of US workers belonged to a union, today it's about 1 in 10. That's a massive decline. (do your homework as you simply don't know what you're talking about). If management is so bad to employees the response is very simple. Go find another job. No one is forcing you to stay at a job you feel is not treating you well. It's called freedom of choice. It's this incessant whining and moaning that turns people off to unions. Cry me a river or just adopt a better work ethic. If you're unhappy with your working life perhaps start your own company. And then you'll realize how inept and unnecessary unions are. But,,, I can see you're not very educated on anything.
@@sunrisejak2709 I'm sorry I though you DID think things were great under Reagan because of your praise of his actions. Sorry for the misconception. It's great that you are now sort of admitting that things were not so great, under Reagan.
The reason for the decline in union membership is because the ownership of the businesses that were staffed by union people decided that they wanted cheaper labor. So they moved the shops and factories to southern states that had right-to-work laws, meaning that they had the right-to-work for less than union wages. Then when the found out that instead of paying 6.55 and hour they could send those factories to foreign lands where they could pay labor for 3.17 a day,
they sent those factories overseas.
Unfortunately the "freedom of choice" does not really exists in the labor market. Sometimes people are forced to take what they can get.
But before the Reagan years. Most working class families owned their own home, had one or two cars and could send their kids to college without government assistance. Now many employees of some of the largest employers, have to rely on government assistance in the form of food program, health care, and predatory loans in order to get an education. This is because those employers pay wages, below
the subsistence level.
I hope you are able to understand that the workers in this nation have the right to organize, and collectively bargain with their employers.
@@sunrisejak2709 As far as being educated, especially about labor laws.
The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) grants most private sector employees the right to form or join unions and prohibits employers from interfering with their right to organize and bargain collectively. Those rights allow workers, to form or join unions; and engage in protected, concerted activities to address or improve working conditions, like protesting low pay, unsafe
working conditions, or discrimination. The owners or employers are obligated to remain neutral. Neutrality means the employer stays neutral when its workers organize and takes no position-for or against-
workers organizing.
Just obey the law of the land and avoid "Unfair Labor Practices" charges.
In your case, take a pill and chill.
@@oscarjohnson9156I'm a self made 1%er. I built my career and wealth (now retired at 70vyrs old) with hard work and building opportunity for me and those within my charge. People get paid what they are worth. Nobody should be guaranteed any certain hourly wage. It's what the market will bear. I built large organizations and the workers didn't need to hold companies hostage and make irrational demands. Yes it is a free job market. If you're unhappy you know where the door is. I'm an example of a strong work ethic. I don't expect any of my staff to work any harder than I do. Those who are not interested in putting out an honest effort or are interested in seeing how little they can do for as much money as possible can go work for the company's competitor. Those who are loyal and work diligently with great attitudes get raises, promotions, and they are proud of there efforts and take "ownership" of their contributions. No need whatsoever for a union. It's not collective bargaining in and of itself it's that unions create a hatred within the same organization. It's the old saying, "why bite the hand that feeds you". Look at the attitude of any union leader. Including Sean Fain and the UAW. Creating hatred of "management" is not good in any organization. I suppose you think it's ok for health workers to collectively strike? What if you're sick and about to have surgery? But,,, the union says "nope we're on strike" you can go pound sand and die for all I care" or police decline to respond when a robber is at your house and the police say "sorry we're on strike". Or your house is on fire and the fire department says "until we get a new contract you're on your own" Of course I think these actions are not allowed. But the concept of holding a knife to someone's throat and demanding a higher wage is just obscene. Collective bargaining and threats to destroy the very opportunity that's putting food on the table is simply nuts. Yes, it's a free job market. I came from nothing, meager beginnings and created not only wealth and opportunity for myself but for thousands of others who made a great living and raised wonderful families while contributing to society. All thankfully accomplished without the BS of unions. The workers and management were together like family. No animosity. With the massive decline in union membership it's proven great cooperation and productivity can enhance the lives of everyone without joining a negative atmosphere of hatred. It's clear I'm seeing life from a position of wealth I created through hand in hand cooperation with a circle of employees all happily pulling in the same direction. You seem to be a disgruntled failure that need a "crutch" and support of others to assist you in your subpar efforts. In the "land of opportunity" if you embrace a strong work ethic with good values you will find happiness and success without the need of joining a gang of thugs. Oh well,,, my results speak for themselves. A company with wonderful culture that grew and succeeded without the heavy dead weight of an anchor being a union that simply artificially seeks to disrupt the normal pay "what your worth" mentality. Minimum wage is determined by the market not by bureaucrats thinking it's "nice" to over pay for work that can be done by the conscientious hard working, great people who spouse good values. Most people who pay their union dues are simply being duped into believing there is a shortcut to more money and benefits just buy threats. Unions were benefucial in the age of industrialization for worker safety. I fully agree with that. However, that's not needed these days as enough laws and guidelines exist to protect workers. Unions have now outlived their usefulness and are struggling to grow. I would never join an organization hell bent on destroying the culture of mutual cooperation and benefit. People often find a level of success for them and their families through their contribution. You want to hide behind the thugs of a union means you don't possess the values that will be helpful to your success in your life. The companies I ran at a senior leadership level all had wonderful people top to bottom and a shared sense of working together for the common good. (medical products industry) All thriving thank goodness without the destructive nature of most unions. Simply not needed.
Higher wages equals few jobs. Period.
Wow that guy should retire
I worked under German management for a while once. They had disdain for American law and thought it was smart to circumvent it.
Boycott Mercedes.
