The company has an obligation to all stakeholders, not just the employees. Investors are in that group. Don't be upset because someone learned how to make their money work for them instead of breaking their back in a coal mine all day.
Learn to code. Isn't that what the D elite told the coal miners in WV?
I wouldn't call the current UAW demands progress
Could you provide a link to that story?
Cost of living is much lower in the southern states. Wages should be based on region.
It is amazing that nonunion manufacturing hasn't collapse . . . oh wait, it is thriving and doing better than those tied to a union.
Yep, and everything I have read puts the lowest wages at $45 per hour ($55 at UAW pants) . . . which is twice what teachers make in the south. That also comes with health insurance, 401K matching and all the other standard benefits.
Big difference. Since when did the government need to make a profit? Your cushy retirement is thanks to tax payers. Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of respect for law enforcement, and especially now, but retiring at 55 and drawing a pension and family medical coverage for life is a bit much when the average slob has to work until 67 or 68 for full Social Security and 65 for Medicare.
NOPE. I cut cable off in 2020 and have never been happier. Last time I went to the movies it was 2019. All of the political BS and propaganda they're shoving down our throats...no thank you. It's a shame though, I miss the old shows where there wasn't such a divide and bias. More time for my hobbies and quality time with family. They lost me after MSM became opinionated instead of actual news. ~Just my two cents.
Long story short, not posted online, I was in Special Forces for much of the 90's until 2004. We were deployed to Bosnia and surrounding countries looking for Slobodon Milosovich, the guy responsible for ethnic clensing of Muslims in his country. We had a very large slush fund that we used to buy provisions, bribe locals, pay off the local Mafia, etc. We were spreading too much money around and it began affecting the local economy to the point where the cost of living for actual people was skyrocketing. The economy went from being able to buy out the local market with a $20 bill to prices doubling or tripling on certain items. I learned a valuable lesson from that. We cannot look at poor areas through the lens of coastal elites or the US government. If you pay Chinese workers what union workers earn, they will be the richest laborers in the country, again, messing with the local economy.
The problem is the MSRP will continue to rise with pay increases. They gotta pay thr difference somehow.
The way it works in a right to work state is you are allowed to have a union, but you can't be Forced to join the union.
One executive (Or a few, or even a handful) each getting an additional 100K a year is one thing.
