I have no idea how the strike is supposed to work. And some people are walking the picket line and some people are building cars? I’ve heard it is mostly to avoid the strike benefit although the UAW union chief is claiming it’s to keep the company guessing.
Nope. Nobody will be building cars. The plants will be shut down. These jobs are skilled jobs, and you can't just take a person off the street to do that job. Even if a job is pushing a button to allow 10-ton press machine stamping out car panels, a person off the street just can't be hired doing this. Mistakes can cause people killed and costing millions in damage.
No, my point is only a few of the plants are shut down. Which to me doesn’t seem like too big a deal as the company has been shutting down plants left and right for a couple weeks here in there for months. I guess we will see.
I'm sure Big Union Man is mobilizing and will get to the bottom of this. At least until noon.

Summer plants shut down for maintenance every year. I worked in auto industry in the past.
Also, not what I’m talking about. I’m well aware of shutting down plants for the new model year. They were shutting them down because there’s too many cars and not enough sales pretending it’s because of parts shortages. In some parts of the country, there’s as much as six month supply of cars. Much of it has to do with the price I’m sure $80,000 trucks are not easy to sell.
Really, the only way to determine what Joe has done, is to send in the Secret Service to check his diaper.
Stop loading them up with all the extra crapola.
Yep 100% agree ridiculous to go look for a work truck loaded up with all kinds of fancy farkels and electronic gizmos
Government regs also jacking the price.
I think the 40% increase basically gets them up to what we’re making or slightly more, certainly they’re going to get a pretty good raise. I have no idea about the 32 hour work week seems like that’s gonna be a tough one.
Not many union car salesmen
32 hrs for 40 ain’t happening
