UAW Strike

[Phaser]

Don't get in any hurry to order your 2026/2027 GM P/U whether you prefer the GMC Sierra or the Chevrolet Silverado. The plant that makes axle tubes for both are currently on strike. The UAW brothers like other union brotherhoods need to be taken care of. It must be a wage or benefit dispute.
The unions built this country...always support them. They pay union dues for a reason...to be represented annually at the bargaining table to get the best prevailing wage and paid insurance out there for themselves and families. If you have never known a union member you can't relate.
The last 10 yrs. of employment before I retired at age 61 in 2016 was with the Plumbers and Pipefitters of UA union and proud to have worked with a bunch of tough hard-working sons of guns.

Hmmmm? Im not opposed to unions and Im not opposed to fair pay or benefits; but I also recognize that when costs go up (includes salaries) prices of products also go up. Sooo whats a fair wage?

Like I said you boys just don't get it. Fact...if you have never been on that side of the table, you're not in a position to pass judgement.

OK wheres the $$$ coming from? Cuz GM aint saying sure we'll take a loss.

 

[MN300PRC]

Unions are why we had a middle class, not shareholders profits Always support my working brothers. Get the unions strong again and maybe things get better for the regular people again. Thats enough out of my mouth.

Unions and their demands are one of the major reasons that so much U.S. manufacturing has gone overseas.
I'm all for a decent wages and benefits, but not when it reaches a point where it starts killing companies.

 

[PieterCoetzee]

Lemme be clear, Im not opposed to unions or fair wages; just that wages effect everyones costs
