I haven’t looked so feel free to prove me wrong. I’d be willing to place a large wager that their concessions were at minimum 3 times the average blue collar salary.

Also we have been raising interest rates and slowing the economy purposely. What better way to put a nail in JB’s coffin than by losing billions

Nothing but ambition stopping them from getting an education and changing the color of their collar

the govt. and uaw ended up owning gm for the most part, right after obie canceled stock ownership (fo da chillun). like said, no gm/no union, union won imo.

and we all got screwed when the payback came, fact, taxpayers lost a lot of money due to the "big 3" and their ineptitude, gm even felt the need to lie about paying back their loan. and still, here we are as joe/joelene schmoe paying thru the nose supporting them and the stupid high prices for vehicles now.



here is just one of the "deals", show me where the union conceded a thing to help the business, just one thing.

no sympathy for either side.

Like any public company with a stock offering, General Motors is owned by shareholders. In the past, the U.S. government was a majority shareholder in the company (after the 2008 bailouts). However, in 2010 GM broke free from the government's yoke and was reborn in its current incarnation.May 31, 2020

lets not even start on what was done to dealers/business owners, instant out of business due to gm shutting down production on some lines like pontiac.

Risk their lives? You guys cannot come up with a reasonable answer for anything.

For me it’s kind of like watching republicans and democrats fight, you just want them both to lose so we come up with something better.

At one point in my life I would have agreed with you but the heads of major corporations (for the most part) are nothing more than checked boxes and the employees are the ones that have kept these businesses successful. Tell me I’m wrong again

I am having a real hard time having compassion for their Union demands. There are millions of other workers across the country treated far less favorably that don’t have a Union. The company I work for does not ever give cost of living raises, not even before
Covid. Wages are no longer paid at a living wage.They are scraping the bottom of the labor pool to hire anyone that walks thru the door. Quality has suffered so bad, they cut production hours even for the long time employees tha care about their job. Compared to a lot of workers, I think the UAW members are being treated well.

JWfish, it’s real hard to have compassion for most people theses days

Indeed

You are wrong- Barra is waay overpaid- and the union rationale is she is overpaid- we should be overpaid also, that’s not a good argument.

You are wrong again.

A lot of their subcontractors are paid a lot less than they pay their employees. We had one just next to us in Arlington and they were paid good, just not GM or any other car manufacturer level of good.

I've read on the TFF several times that if the union workers don't like their wages they should go find better paying jobs. Sounds like you should do the same.

How far out in the lot do your union brothers make you park that truck?
