What a joke. Half of them probably have GEDs.

This is probably the shittiest comment I've seen on this forum

Spoken like a true union member. Did mommy find you your 1st job too? (that's just an extra 2 cents for ya, in case you couldn't make ends meet on your own )

Got my 1st job at 16 all by myself....been a proud member of a Union since 1994 and if it weren't for all you loners trying to scrape by on the meager offerings of management - we'd ALL live a better life. Keep your spare change...sounds like YOU may need it.

And that is saying something for this forum.

@ScottyC honest question - do you feel its fair the union(if theyall go on strike) will shut down the entire auto sector? THE UAW has roughly 150k members, the auto sector is roughly 2 million. All the others in the sector will be unable to collect a check

I'm UAW and I think it's absolutely ridiculous to ask for 40 hours pay for 32 hours work.
It's stupid demands like this that don't do us any favors. Well, that, and all of the corruption in the past (but that's changing ).

Are the bulk of KTP union workers on board with this or do you think this is being driven by the plants to the north?

The strike vote at KTP was 99% for and 1% against. That is based only on votes cast. Not sure how many didn't vote at all.

F-ing ridiculous!

I can't even wrap my head around that as an escalated starting position, I mean talk about good faith negotiation out the window. I actually thought Fords counter was in the ball park and actually realistic without tanking the damn company in the process. Unless I miss read Fords offer its putting starting line peoples at 100k salary + beans at a 6 year vested?

not pro or con on private unions... but 46% increase and 32hour workweeks on top of all the other benefits they have is pushing it!!!! Now don't even get me started on the public unions that are funded by our tax dollars IE teachers unions that start out at 70k/year get the whole summer off and 25+ (sick, Vac, Sabbatical, and impromptu days a year) and yet every 3 years say its not enough and threaten to strike!! And then on top of that try and brainwash our kids!!!!

I am anti union, but respect their right to strike. I will drive up the cost. The big winner will be Toyota, Honda, and Tesla. I am glad I purchased my 2023 Bronco. Next year they will be 15% more.
