UAW On Strike

[Rookie]

I believe the market decide every single one of your questions.

Your idea of throwing in Hamas, hostages, and other such nonsense language in your posts about Unions is nonsense.

I believe your use of language such as all, never, killing etc is nonsense.

Union member here...

Aloha snackbar!!!

Stellantis to invest $3.2B in second EV battery plant in Kokomo - Inside INdiana Business

Before construction on the first one is completed, global automaker Stellantis is planning to build a second electric vehicle battery manufacturing plant in Kokomo. The company plans to invest $3.2 billion to build the facility and create 1,400 new jobs.

That is prolly why they have not been striking in Kokomo. And if they do, does anyone really think that Samsung would put up with it while building? No they would walk away. They want into the Auto industry bad, but not bad enough to **** away money paying more than the product is worth.

UAW expands auto strike to Ford's biggest plant in surprise move

United Auto Workers on Wednesday shut down Ford's biggest plant globally, halting production of lucrative pickup trucks with little warning, in a sharp escalation of the union's four-week targeted strike against the Detroit Three automakers.

www.reuters.com

"The UAW had expected for the last two weeks an improved proposal from Ford, and on Wednesday it brought the same offer, a union source said."

Ford was given two weeks to make another proposal, but they decided to do nothing. Yep, 100% union's fault.

Maybe Ford didn't have more to give. Maybe they are actually at the point where it is more profitable to do 100% manufacturing in a place like Mexico. Prolly more reliable at this point as well. There is such a thing as cutting losses. A lot of people are prolly thinking about selling their broken Fords back to the dealership and picking up something more reliable for parts, like a Toyota or Nissan.

You'd be right, IF, any foreign auto maker could make a heavy duty truck that would take a beating like a domestic truck. Until then, forget about it.

So you aren’t going to answer. Got it.

Haven't seen and 1999's or 2000 Toys or Nissan trucks on the road for quite a few years now. Did they all just rust away?
My 1999 and 2000 Fords run great, even after all these years.

I see them all the time. Blind loyalty lets you see what you want to see. I don’t even like Toyotas or Nissans but that **** is out there running and running. Ask any 3rd world terrorist croup what truck they can depend on when the bombs start dropping. It won’t be a ford.

Not liking the answer doesn't mean it wasn't answered.

I am sure that everyone who can't afford to get a car repaired gets held hostage by owners of car repair shops all the time. After all, car repair shops think they have a right to get paid appropriately for their labor. And Parts? Why I hear they will sell them at cost just to help everyone out! Not!

Imagine all those people who can't get to work or drop their kids off at school because of these car repair shops, or get to the pharmicists for life saving meds, or doctors!!!

If that's how little car repair shops care about human life, I hear Hamas is recruiting.

They most certainly do when they need a bit more capacity than a Toyota can carry. F250 to the rescue.

So apparently all of our union folks are fine with shutting down small businesses and holding peoples vehicles hostage because they can’t get fixed. That’s awesome. I hear hamas is recruiting. They have immediate openings I m sure.

Reminds me of the just stop oil people. Their grievances are everyone’s problems.

No it doesn’t.

No it doesn’t.

Aren't the Trump threads and NASCAR keeping you busy enough?

 

[sadclownwp]

Ok that's it. Creedmor and Bobzilla... I don't like some of the socialist crap that has came out of Creedmor, but Bobzilla... That comment on the terrorists trucks was in poor taste. And Creedmor, that response of showing terrorists using a Ford, also such poor taste... Guys... Take a step back and think about what you are posting. With what is going on right now, right this second. Poor taste all around. Shame on both of you. We have had our opposing views. We can all do better than that. Lets not bring terrorism into this.

I know Fain. He may have a big chip on his shoulder concerning rich people, but I wouldn't question his patriotism.

With an annual salary of $212,000 and a reported net worth north of $764,000, which is more likely: he hates himself, or wants to eat himself?

I won't begrudge his net worth since there are people in my plant with a much higher net worth that don't make 200k a year.

The annual salary I don't agree with...

Fain rubs elbows with socialist politicians like Biden, the Big Guy. They know how to launder that money to go unseen.

If Fain pulls this deal off, watch how fast he "retires" to some coastal property worth many many more times than his published earnings.

Remember that he comes from the crowd that does everything they point fingers and whine about others doing.

Really? We’ve been purchasing parts for crashed cars where we can get them with basically no markup (1-2% isn’t going to cut it). But now we are also seeing shops going idle. So now it’s not just the customers getting bent over, now it’s the shops. And they’re techs. How far is enough? When youve wrecked the entire economy? I didn’t think Brandon needed any help but here you go pitching in like a good socialist.

I hope y’all get everything you could ever ask for in your new contracts because you’re going to need it when there aren’t any more manufacturing in the us and you’re living off uncle joes dime.
