“”How I look at it is, we’re here for the company, we were here for them during all the downturns,” said Stephanie Carpenter, a 22-year employee of GM who was picketing...”
And the company was there for you also, Stephanie.
The employees can apply for Cobra while on strike, I wrk in the grocery industry in CA. also union. They were threatening a strike we would have also been required to apply for Cobra if the strike had occurred, I HATE UNIONS!!! The damn union wanted higher wages and right now CA. is in the process of raising minimum wage to $15.00 an hour, how much does the union believe someone bagging groceries should make an hour??? I can’t believe that the union for GM thinks that the company should pay medical benefits when workers walked off the job!!!
”How I look at it is, we’re here for the company, we were here for them during all the downturns,” said Stephanie Carpenter, a 22-year employee of GM who was picketing...”GM was there for HER. Paying her, keeping her employed, paying for her healthcare, pension and other benefits, and offering golden parachutes to workers already eligible to retire so they wouldn't have to lay off the younger workers under UNION RULES.
Meanwhile, UAW accepted 26 Billion Dollars from WE, THE TAXPAYERS.
So Stephanie, what exactly did YOU do during "all the downturns" other than show up and do the job you were being PAID to do?
