I did? I hardly post videos.

 

Back in the 1900s, I totally agree that the union was necessary. My wife "joined" the union because it was a condition of employment. Best we could do was scrape back the political fees. It did allow people to get away with not doing their duties without much fear of consequences to some extent. So yes, if I plan to be hardworking and being worth more, I wouldn't want to be in a union. If average, it is a push. If I plan to scrape along, it is a plus

Because the union sets the pay rates,

I work around Toyota here in ky. People seem happy with it. There is no need for unions. They themselves cost money the employer and employees could split. Plus you don’t have all that lobby money going to the swamp…of their favorite political party.

 

none of you random copy and pasting disproves the CNN article that clearly states Honda pays their workers a base salary of 1850 dollars a month, and about 1940 dollars a month after the 5% raise.

 

Back in the 2000s, there was a mention of the legacy costs GM has that Honda, for example, doesn't have. Something to the tune of $2000 a car. Is that still a factor?

 

Distribution of wealth, IOW, one works very hard for their income, but has to split it up with those who don't work anywhere as hard. Sounds like Communism. There is this saying, that guy is not worth his salt. There was a time where salt was very hard to come by, and was used as payment. That is where that term originated. It still holds true today, you are only worth the effort you put out.

Unions today go around the net worth of a person and lumps them all in one. Pay raise for everyone, or no one works. A person who puts out the extra effort, deserves the raise, those who don't, well, don't. Thats how life works.

Screw the unions.

 

Merle was right. We really are rolling down hill like a snow ball headed to... 😂

Good ole UAW.

 

Side note, I don't like tipping at places that pool tips for this reason. I only tip the individual NOT the group. For the individual, anything from 0 to 30%. For the group, 0%.

 

it absolutely is. If wages go up as much as Fain & Friends want and work hours are also cut, that hole gets much deeper quickly once pension, medical, etc are added up, and mass layoff impacting the hourly workers will come the first sign of corporate losses start.

 

I would think so.

IIRC, there is something about electric vehicles being less labor intensive than gas vehicles.

 

You can bet Ford designed Blue Oval City to minimize labor costs(read: headcount) in preparation of it being a union shop. They have to compete with products coming out China and to a lesser extent, other countries in the PacRim region. If they pay everyone working there 150k including benefits, they are setting themselves up to fail unless it is a much leaner team.

 

The vibe around here seems to be either you are a PinkoCommie, Union, or an over the top Capitalist that thinks it's OK that bosses make 398 X more than workers... Well it's NOT, How about some moderation to the greed, and stick with what worked for 50+ years, Capitalism with some (moderation?), (responsibility?), (doing the right thing for the community?), without loosing ones decency/humanity to the almighty $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$...

Oh look, Toyota ceo makes 310 times the average worker who makes in the neighborhood of 1850 monthly if Honda and Toyota pay their workers similarly in Japan.
