UAW workers launch unprecedented strike against all Big Three automakers

That's the second time he's tried to get a rise out of people in this thread. That's legally entrapment. I'd file a formal complaint with @Bob but we all know @T-Rex266 is protected by that corrupt Forum Moderators Union. Damn unions.

Whatever.

 

This is funny. But to spin it, so many “leaders” that move up ladders in companies and completely suck but are protected by a good ole boy network or some other connection. They don’t even need to pay dues to suck and keep their jobs.

 

The federal government has been on an immature spending spree since 09/11.

look at the amount of money printing since that day. The govt currently spends 7 trillion and takes in maybe 5 trillion in revenue. That is the problem with everything. Inflation wouldnt be squeezing middle class workers out if this weren’t the case

 

Yup yup it is affecting the autos being made!

that sounds super cool

 

it will likely be as manly as the blazer reboot

 

I think they are seizing the opportunity to deflect blame here. If they point it to the strike as the cause of death for muscle cars, then they can keep pushing the regulations that are the true cause with less resistance. That article clearly states that the Camaro was already getting axed well before the strike. They are just moving up the time table to shift the blame.

 

As cool as a camaro might seem. Honestly a honda accorda performance is incredibly impressive these days

 

Yes they announced it is the last year,,,
And yes they moved up the date of deacceleration!!

if this keeps up I am positive we will see more cuts across the board from all auto makers.

Another staple which was for Nissan is the Maxima and they will not be making that anymore. I do not think it has much to do with the strike though.

Prices overall, the transportation costs, and the supply chain is broke and it is going to have a ripple across the water for some time I am afraid?? Businesses are still closing and this will be years before it gets back to what normal was, now the strike!
All is not conducive for a happy environment.

I could never work for a union. Imagine feeling obligated to be pissed off all day every day.

 

Well I’m already married so

 

This one is gonna hurt 'em.

 

You haven't experienced that at non union jobs?

 

Every single non union operator I work with isn't mad all the time at everyone in "management".

 

Not me. Choose wisely.

 

Pretty much my experience too. I'm not into being an "oppressed victim" of management. If I was, I'd stop crying in my beer and find a better job where I'm happy. It's not 1900.

 

Good news! Happy wife, happy life! Probably not fun hanging out on the picket line, but it worked. The health care workers deserved it.

 

The UAW is basically major part of a circular firing squad with the rest comprised of the automakers and greenies.

 

Life of a teacher union in the North...

The "unions" here in the south are more like associations with legal benefits. They're toothless. However, the wage gap between the north and south is bigly soooooo the power of an actual union is obvious.

 

Cost of living in NYC is way higher than TX as well.

 

It is. I was thinking more like Chicago. Their teacher unions are notorious for being the noisiest/most active. Squeaky wheel gets the grease.
