I never heard UAW asking for people to do a better job - craftsmanship and dedication . We get new cars with harness scuffs , shorts ,pinches , bolts loose , and other nightmares . Imagine the short cuts they will take as factory to save money if this go trough - not that the quality is stellar those days .
People like you obviously don't have a clue about what you're talking about. Quality issues are RARELY THE RESULT OF POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP. GENERALLY IT'S THE RESULT OF POOR ENGINEERING, POOR MACHINE WORK AND TOOLING, AND POOR JUDGMENT IN MANAGEMENT, PUSHING THE GARBAGE OUT OF THE DOOR KNOWING THAT THE PRODUCT IS SHITTY. BUT LOW MINDED PEOPLE LIKE YOU AUTOMATICALLY WANT TO BLAME THE LOWEST PERSON. THERE'S SO MUCH INVOLVED IN IT BUT YOU IGNORANT PIECES OF SHIITE COULDN'T CARE LESS.
So they want a 40% raise in pay and to work 32 hours a week instead of 40 hours a week and have turned down a 20% wage increase. It sounds like that's where the basic numbers are at this point
They haven't had a raise since before the financial crisis. I'm an auto worker in Canada. Yes, our union is nothing but a bunch of common criminals. They got money from the government to push the companies into mandating the Covid gene therapies and than didn't file a single grievance in the entire country. But the company can't get people to work for them. They go to job fairs and don't receive a single job application. We actually have people quitting to go work elsewhere for 50% increases in pay and benefits. These jobs suck and these companies suck. I tell younger workers to consider looking for work elsewhere. No sense getting trapped in a health damaging job because you have so many years towards your pension and retirement benefits. The 32 hour work week makes no sense since we're mandated to work 6 days/48 hours by the government anyway. I think these companies are preparing to disappear. Not go bankrupt but to actually just close their doors. The level of technical incompetence in the company is beyond what you'd think possible. At my plant we just got approval to update a few more cells and the guy put in charge is an MBA. It makes no difference since even engineering is totally incompetent. Our level of productivity is so low that the plant shouldn't remain open. It's one mistake after another. Management spends all their energy lying to corporate about what went wrong. Legacy car companies will never transition to EVs because they aren't vertically integrated and therefore can't figure out how to get an electric mirror or electric seat to talk to the main computer. All these systems come from suppliers and are black boxes. EVs make zero sense environmentally but if we do push those by mandating them than Tesla and Chinese companies and probably Toyota and Honda and Mazda will be the only survivors. VW got 40 billion Euros from the German government to go electric and now admits their cars don't work and they will rebadge Chinese EVs instead. They're already starting to admit EVs make no sense and cannot be done. Not enough electricity, copper, lithium and much worse for the environment and too expensive. EVs are probably being brought in because we wont be allowed to have cars at all. 15 minute cities and cricket powder for all of us mindless cowards.
And they are too dumb to realize 60% of them will lose their jobs because of Democrats forcing EV’s on Americans. Almost all of the dumb Union workers vote for the party that’s trying to destroy their jobs.
Those people would be extremely happy if the government didn’t tax, their income, life and energy away from them. The problem is not the wage, and as much as it is the government taxing when they print money in America!.
Anyone else hear more robotics coming? They make premium trucks now, charge more and make less, so it inflates the price. why make 10 when you can make 4, make ‘em “premium” and make just as much as making the actual 10

You can't stop people from hiring new people or working. Bring in the Mexicans 👈. These poor stickers making 35$ and hour and want 57$ an hour. Notice they don't tell you that part. As the union mob bosses are greedy. They aren't getting a big enough cut? Their new cars suck anyway. They break down every two weeks.
This is what unions do though. They make their members become self entitled and they demand what they want and if they don't get it l, they threaten with a strike. Teamsters started this wave with UPS. If labor becomes more expensive, so will everything we buy. Next fast food workers will want to unionize
You think if you built your own vehicle and someone took it for a dollar would that be fair to you? Cause that's practically what the company is doing to its employees.
@jayhawker - it's always "these workers"...these workers caused factories to move to China & Mexico. These workers caused companies to switch to robots. These workers caused health care premiums to increase. These workers caused consumers to pay more. These workers caused inflation. WHERE DOES the BS STOP? Wake Up American working classes IT'S NOT the workers, it NEVER WAS!
Crazy times. In my humble opinion the “Lock-Down” derailed the economy’s ability to stabilize. Automobiles are expensive already and this is only going to make things worse.
Yea I see you don't care about your fellow Americans making livable wage, you just care about the price of "mUh tRuCk." Go move out of the country then if you dont care about Americans making livable wages.
32 hour work week, medical pension benefits, 40% pay increase over 4 years..............what planet did this union come from. No other jobs in this country offer those plush benefits. They would not even take a a 20% increase over 4 years. Give me a break, the union is ridiculous.
No, it's just that you don't realize that you have a slave mentality and think that working people shouldn't have A RIGHT AND OBLIGATION TO DEMAND MORE. EITHER THAT OR YOU'RE AN ELITIST WHOSE PARENTS GOT A LOT OF MONEY AND DON'T HAVE A CLUE ABOUT WHAT REAL WORKING CLASS PEOPLE SUFFER IN THIS CORPORATOCRACY.
Hey Clark: Plush is a $30+mill a year pay check! There was a time in this fair land when corporate tools were routed out. Before the Elon Musk and Bill Gates worshipping began and before the "new globalism" was promoted. There was a time when corps could run their companies, pay living wages to workers provide benefits and pension reinvest in their business and give bacj a crumb or two to their local community and still make a profit. Now those were Company Presidents to emulate! Today's CEOs own govt politicians, have open borders a global market place for exploitation few to no employee benefits and stagnant wages. They need not invest a penny in the local community and in fact demand Tax Abatements and threaten leaving for Mexico if their demands aren't met. They have bbled the economy dry and continue to do so. Gee, no don't quite feel sorry for these corporate scammers across the spectrum.
@@hermanmunster714 AMEN. But these people have been conditioned to not see what's RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEIR FACES. That's because these same Elon Musk and Bill Gates that they worship and admire so much control the media that they feed on.
Unfortunately the union plan does not resolve the issue with their demands. Many people in the country have gone without pay increases and lack the benefits the union is demanding. Two wrongs do not make it right with what the union is doing. It just sounds like the unions are out of touch with reality as to the state of the economy and country. If you don't like your CEO pay, then everyone has a right to leave. But to ask to be elevated to their level with pay increases is just propagating the problem of overpaid management.
Free Trade removed tarrriffs (taxes) on imports and therfore destroyed our domestic American industries. Plain and simple fact read your American history and you will learn that some tariffs are warranted and NEEDED. The problem is the new Globalists (esp tech.) own your govt and set policy.

CEOs have to set the direction of the entire company. They do way more than answer emails. CEOs answer to shareholders first and if the company is missing revenue targets they get canned. It’s a very high stress job that is very high risk because CEO’s are thrown out every year and are never hired again. Compare that to an auto worker that only has the stress of screwing in a bolt on a car and id say the breakdown is fair. This economy is based on risk and reward.
Yeah because people like you NEVER get an opportunity to be shown how much the salaried workers make. Only the CEOs. But how much is the CROS personal assistant is making. How much are the other execs making 2, 5, 7 MILLION!!! BUT you're saying that the workers who bust their asses everyday are driving up costs.
You want a raise? More money more pay? Bring more value to the marketplace. The job market is like any other market money flows to who can bring more value to the market. Bring more value.
Just looking at the employees on the picket line. Seriously some of the people look like they have no idea what work is. Who can even afford the junk they have been making anyway?
Working during a strike, interesting idea. I hope it works out. Why not just go on full strike though? I've looked around, and the only answer I have found is that the leaders of UAW think that this will give them the best results. I am wondering what results they would expect for a month long full strike. This, I have not found.
Because if the big three are bankrupt, no one wins. They are doing this 2 years too late when interests rates are at several decades high, repos at a 10 year high, credit card debt at the highest its ever been, and student loans starting back next month. Its basically a perfect storm for a giant economic slowdown and they’ve been told this. If even one of them goes under, they lose all power they currently have.
And here I am thinking that all of the low minded elitist assholes were extinct. Tesla keeps its costs down and keeps the union bug down by giving their employees the biggest most generous compensation that a thriving company could give- COMPANY STOCKS.
With all the electric vehicles being out on the market and getting ready to come out of the market, the strike is a poor decision. You’re gonna mess around and find out.
Battery cars are not the exclusive option we have to decarbonize our world. “Hydrogen fuel cell cars, which like electric vehicles also produce zero emissions, have a far higher number of components because the working of a fuel cell engine closely resembles petrol engines. Many of the parts needed can be produced by existing suppliers to the industry. ‘Hydrogen technology means people who make internal combustion engines can still have jobs,’ said Sae Hoon Kim, Hyundai’s director of fuel cell projects. ‘We have 300 major suppliers [for the hydrogen car], and most of them are our conventional vehicle suppliers.’” (Financial Times) Nonetheless, our Department of Energy remains obsessed with battery cars and has made no plans whatsoever to build a hydrogen pipeline to connect our major cities - a threshold requirement recognized 20 years ago by General Motors. Ironically, neither have the oil companies themselves made any such hydrogen pipeline building plans - although hydrogen fits nicely in their existing business model for the delivery of gasoline and diesel. And this is so despite hydrogen promising to be the ultimate lifeline for oil companies when battery cars take hold.
These demands are ridiculous! Why not just ask for $1000/hr and a 1 day work week 🙄. The pay is exactly where it should be…it’s the executive pay that needs to be reduced or capped!
Yeah you go and get those assholes to take less. Meanwhile a SMART UNION WORKER IS GOING TO DEMAND FAIR WAGES BASED ON THE HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS THAT THESE COMPANIES ARE PROFITING AND GIVING TO ALL OF THE CEOS AND EXECS AND SALARIED WORKERS .

I started in Lorain at $13.47 with full benefits including ETAP. The tiered pay was negotiated by the UAW for the past 20+ years. Increases or the lack there of have been negotiated by the UAW. I started on the rivot line and took my ass to school working 10 hours a day 40-50 hours a week on the worst jobs. Took 3 years to make full wage. During the recession when many of these same low skilled workers bought sub prime mortgages I took the buyout and finished my eduaction, busted my ass, and made it on my own. These people are always crying and think they all should be living large and working less. They want the job but don't want to work. This will only bring on more robots. The economy is too expensive for most low skilled workers. Low skilled workers can't afford luxury. Stop comparing thousands of low skilled workers to the few people who run the company.

I’ve watched the Union trucking companies go out of business one by one. They could no longer be competitive. I understand the position of the employees, but maybe this at a time where people can’t afford new cars, will be the tipping point into the end of the unions in auto manufacturing also. A big hit from the EV nonsense is coming anyway. My crystal ball sees future Government Bailouts coming.
They can't compete with competitors because all their money goes to the top executives and stock. Workers wages only account for 4% of the cost. You should watch more of the uaw livestreama then you will know why workers demand a 40% raise. It's also because the executives gotten a 40% raise when the company was breaking record profits.
Can’t wait to see in a few years when this is over all the big 3 coming out with AI driven autonomous factories. This type of stuff speeds up the development of tech like that so much.
AI has the potential of taking over many jobs, this is already the path we are on and already on their minds because that is our culture. The hope is we can begin changing the culture on how we view workers, as people deserving of a better way of life. Hopefully then when AI is truly implemented, we’ll have people in power caring about people and not just simply looking to get rid of all the workers they no longer need.
I think unions make ur life harder seen ur house rent be so high cause u make so much in a union so when the ppl that own the house know what u make yearly then they know they can charge ur monthly rent higher 😂
Foreign made cars are now much better than US made cars! The higher wages (of most union members) goes to union dues (union org and union leaders who have inflated salaries). There are too many lazy and incompetent union members (& too many supervisors) even with government union workers; I would estimate, more than 40%. Union members get pay raises based on seniority, not on productivity. Replace them with foreign workers; the economy will be better in the long run!

You want a raise? More money more pay? Bring more value to the marketplace. The job market is like any other market money flows to who can bring more value to the market. Bring more value.
It just takes one to get the ball rollin'
Just looking at the employees on the picket line. Seriously some of the people look like they have no idea what work is. Who can even afford the junk they have been making anyway?
They should boycott, making EVs
5 people begging for a raise
Working during a strike, interesting idea. I hope it works out. Why not just go on full strike though? I've looked around, and the only answer I have found is that the leaders of UAW think that this will give them the best results. I am wondering what results they would expect for a month long full strike. This, I have not found.
Even the UAW isn't exempt from bribery...
My understanding is that they think they can be effective with selective plant strikes and it also helps their strike fund last a lot longer.
Because if the big three are bankrupt, no one wins. They are doing this 2 years too late when interests rates are at several decades high, repos at a 10 year high, credit card debt at the highest its ever been, and student loans starting back next month. Its basically a perfect storm for a giant economic slowdown and they’ve been told this. If even one of them goes under, they lose all power they currently have.
The strike fund would not last long if all workers from all 3 plants went out at omce
@@stratdad3539 My next thought is, how long are they planning on keeping this going? How long will they without a new contract / raises?
History repeats itself... another DETROIT for Auto Manufacturers... they'll go to Canada, Mexico & overseas AGAIN. 🎪🤡🎪
UAW Local 1700 standing strong !!
Typical UAW worker.......Work less for more money and stand around whining about it. GO TESLA!!!
And here I am thinking that all of the low minded elitist assholes were extinct. Tesla keeps its costs down and keeps the union bug down by giving their employees the biggest most generous compensation that a thriving company could give- COMPANY STOCKS.
With all the electric vehicles being out on the market and getting ready to come out of the market, the strike is a poor decision. You’re gonna mess around and find out.
EVs aren’t selling.

At this point they have nothing to lose. I’m with the workers.
These big companies have much more to lose
Mary Barra at GM is making 22 Million a year. Mary is not worth 2 million a year!!!
Wonder what kind of cars these union leaders have. Doubt its from the big three. Just saying
Battery cars are not the exclusive option we have to decarbonize our world.
“Hydrogen fuel cell cars, which like electric vehicles also produce zero emissions, have a far higher number of components because the working of a fuel cell engine closely resembles petrol engines. Many of the parts needed can be produced by existing suppliers to the industry.
‘Hydrogen technology means people who make internal combustion engines can still have jobs,’ said Sae Hoon Kim, Hyundai’s director of fuel cell projects. ‘We have 300 major suppliers [for the hydrogen car], and most of them are our conventional vehicle suppliers.’” (Financial Times)
Nonetheless, our Department of Energy remains obsessed with battery cars and has made no plans whatsoever to build a hydrogen pipeline to connect our major cities - a threshold requirement recognized 20 years ago by General Motors. Ironically, neither have the oil companies themselves made any such hydrogen pipeline building plans - although hydrogen fits nicely in their existing business model for the delivery of gasoline and diesel. And this is so despite hydrogen promising to be the ultimate lifeline for oil companies when battery cars take hold.
I heard one of these picketers mentioning they can't afford the cars they build. Well, I have news for him. I can't afford the cars they build either.
The average pay for an assembly line worker is over $37 an hour base pay. I wish I could be so poor.
Did he just here what he said u want temp workers make what u make thats stupid their temps
These demands are ridiculous! Why not just ask for $1000/hr and a 1 day work week 🙄. The pay is exactly where it should be…it’s the executive pay that needs to be reduced or capped!
Yeah you go and get those assholes to take less. Meanwhile a SMART UNION WORKER IS GOING TO DEMAND FAIR WAGES BASED ON THE HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS THAT THESE COMPANIES ARE PROFITING AND GIVING TO ALL OF THE CEOS AND EXECS AND SALARIED WORKERS .
@@beeel6383do what ya want and make all the demands ya want just realize that your increase in wages will be passed on to consumers. Causing prices to increase and inflation to worsen.
@@davidwebb9752 you've been conditioned to only see the little man in situations like this. You've been conditioned to overlook the biggest elephant in the room. It's a goddam shame when people get on here DEMONIZING AND THROWING BLAME ON PEOPLE WHO LITERALLY BUST THEIR ASSES TRYING TO MAKE THEIR LIVES BETTER DOING THE BIDDING FOR THESE MILLION AND BILLIONAIRES WHILE PEOPLE LIKE YOU HOLD THEIR SACS.

DIVIDED WE BEG UNITED WE BARGAIN
What gets me is how they still get paid min 500 per week. What a joke.
They pay into that. It's literally their money they saved for this.
Pay about 80$ in union dues a month from every member. Also give union dues out of any bonus we get.
The ev push and joe biden have done this to you! So keep voting democrat union workers!
F u @Amykelley - seen your corporate-tool-bot signature all over the youtube pages. Not worthy of response.
I started in Lorain at $13.47 with full benefits including ETAP. The tiered pay was negotiated by the UAW for the past 20+ years. Increases or the lack there of have been negotiated by the UAW. I started on the rivot line and took my ass to school working 10 hours a day 40-50 hours a week on the worst jobs. Took 3 years to make full wage. During the recession when many of these same low skilled workers bought sub prime mortgages I took the buyout and finished my eduaction, busted my ass, and made it on my own. These people are always crying and think they all should be living large and working less. They want the job but don't want to work. This will only bring on more robots. The economy is too expensive for most low skilled workers. Low skilled workers can't afford luxury. Stop comparing thousands of low skilled workers to the few people who run the company. I should write a book about this bullshit.
So... UAW's are a joke
You're an idiot
Need to abolish Unions and hire foreign workers. Sick of these people and their bullshit. Not everyone is CEO or Company quality
Thank you exactly.. i own a bodyshop in TX and their guna fuck my shit up cause of their laziness and greed. Their guna bring the whole country down. If they dont like their situation do something about it bit dont cut your nose off despite your face.
@@Lovenlife139 the entrepreneurs subsidy is profit, forge forward and adapt. COMPANIES made America, not Unions!
@@Lovenlife139 they are literally doing something about it lol
@@stratdad3539 at the cost of the whole country. Thanx greedy asses
@@stratdad3539 no one made them pick that job. If you dont like do something about ie change jobs, move or learn something eles. The rich CEOs did something early in life to position themselves while the assembly line worker was just wishing hoping for something better.
Oh you dont like the wage gap, well do something to better your situation dont take the whole country down with you.. yall are guna effect my business in my bodyshop in TX and i dont have anything to do with it. UAW wants way to much. We didn't choose your profession..

This is pretty great 👏👏👏💯‼️go Fain UAW👏👏💯‼️
I would take their already gravy job, how hard could it be? I see fat women on the line😅
😂😂 you'd be on light duty in a week.
Poor babies, they don't make enough money, wah, wah, wah
Keep up the strike. Good job. Demand more. Bankrupt your employer. Make me money.😂
I’ve watched the Union trucking companies go out of business one by one. They could no longer be competitive. I understand the position of the employees, but maybe this at a time where people can’t afford new cars, will be the tipping point into the end of the unions in auto manufacturing also. A big hit from the EV nonsense is coming anyway. My crystal ball sees future Government Bailouts coming.
They can't compete with competitors because all their money goes to the top executives and stock. Workers wages only account for 4% of the cost. You should watch more of the uaw livestreama then you will know why workers demand a 40% raise. It's also because the executives gotten a 40% raise when the company was breaking record profits.
Hope everyone who's on strike gets replaced and becomes homeless.
They get paid too much already.
Such a beta attitude
Hey Just me does being a corporate tool-bot mean you get to buy your Taylor Swift tix before anyone else? 😆 🤣 😂
UAW, unions against work!
Ohio is full of goofy farmers 😂. Michigan gets it
Can’t wait to see in a few years when this is over all the big 3 coming out with AI driven autonomous factories. This type of stuff speeds up the development of tech like that so much.
AI has the potential of taking over many jobs, this is already the path we are on and already on their minds because that is our culture. The hope is we can begin changing the culture on how we view workers, as people deserving of a better way of life. Hopefully then when AI is truly implemented, we’ll have people in power caring about people and not just simply looking to get rid of all the workers they no longer need.
"this type of stuff" = fighting for your kids & family to have a piece of the pie you helped bake.
Fain 2024
I think unions make ur life harder seen ur house rent be so high cause u make so much in a union so when the ppl that own the house know what u make yearly then they know they can charge ur monthly rent higher 😂
You don't know it but you have a slave mentality.
This is why Kia, Toyota and Honda are popular, HUH?
Foreign made cars are now much better than US made cars!
The higher wages (of most union members) goes to union dues (union org and union leaders who have inflated salaries). There are too many lazy and incompetent union members (& too many supervisors) even with government union workers; I would estimate, more than 40%. Union members get pay raises based on seniority, not on productivity. Replace them with foreign workers; the economy will be better in the long run!
