  1. I’m all for fair wages and improved benefits but if the UAW keeps this up they will strike the big three into the ground. Then what’s the point? What happened to our jobs?

  2. 40 hours of pay for 32 hours of work is right up there with student loan reallocation. No, I didn’t mistakenly not say “forgiveness”, because the loan is not forgiven, it’s just reallocated to those of us that paid our student loans and and pay taxes!

  3. Let the strikes continue. Don’t give into the ridiculous demands, as they call them. Companies have highs and lows. You can’t just take from the highs when you aren’t ready to give it back during the lows.

    1. David G.

      +1

      Why in the world are these UAW people worried about the CEO’s pay???

      Why do the UAW members think they are entitled to the profits.

      Why don’t the UAW members understand that the profits go back into
      the operations and back to the shareholders.

    2. You mean “give back” like they actually did in 2008 when the auto companies were in a deep low because of the recession? They’ve been straddled by those concessions ever since. Adjusting for inflation, auto workers have seen their average wages fall by 19% since 2008. According to the US Bureau of Labor and Statistics wages for autoworkers on the production line have dropped 30% since 2003

      Perhaps your comment should be reversed. Auto companies shouldn’t take when there are lows and not give back when there are highs.

    3. The Auto companies need to stay strong.
      Obviously the UAW and the public in general have amnesia.

      The UAW destroyed jobs and entire communities with their greed and lack
      of flexibility. Especially regarding work rules and keeping bad employees.

    4. The wage average is a nonsense comparison. The unions over reached and
      destroyed jobs in the process.

      Second, The unions pushed for the two tier wage system NOT the
      auto companies.The two tier wage
      system hurt the auto companies ability to recruit and retain new employees.
      Go to Allison’s Transmission sometime and ask their corporate managers
      about that sometime. Allison’s is having a horrible time staffing their facilities
      because of the two tiered wage system and because of the union work rules.

      Allison’s tried to raise the entry level wage for new employees and the union
      voted it down.

  4. Weird how all the normal Commenters are taking this one off. Wes and Joe must be having connectivity issues…
    IBJ, will you be interviewing Michael Hicks so he can Democrat-splain to your readers about how these demands are perfectly reasonable, will not contribute to inflation and will not damage individual households economics?

    1. We all saw a few months ago how they treated the rail-worker unions. About the only unions the “party of the common man” seems to support in 2023 are Teachers unions or those for federal workers.
