On Monday night United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain endorsed Kamala Harris at the DNC Convention in Chicago.

Fain called Kamala Harris a “fighter” for the working class and denounced Donald Trump as a “scab.”

During President Trump’s first term, he prioritized bringing manufacturing back to America. And that is exactly what he did.

--SNIP --

And then on Tuesday, the day after UAW President Shawn Fain announced his endorsement of communist Kamala Harris, General Motors announced a loss of 1,000 high-paying engineering jobs – 600 of those job losses will be in Michigan.

“General Motors announced a loss of 1,000 high-paying engineering jobs”

Meh.
Not labor so not union.
Union likely will ‘celebrate’ these layoffs siting bloated middle-management.
R&F don’t care.

Yeah DT is a scab…..a scab that lobbied US Steel and got them to agree to invest in a $1B project to bring more union jobs to Pittsburgh…….and the dummies in Pittsburgh and Allegheny County slow rolled the permits and tried to bleed it dry. So USS halted the project and started a $1.5B investment in Arkansas. And now USS will be bought by the japs under the Slow Joe and the Hoe administration.

Boycott all Cars made by the UAW - Not spending one cent at any GM Dealership for parts or service ever again. The UAW hates us? Fine - maybe the new citizens from Guatemala will buy their crappy cars.

I remember when software engineers and automobiles never crossed paths.

They can get one of those 10,000 jobs at the new football field sized chip making plant, making over $100,000.00 a year that Joltin’ Joe was talking about last night.

Schadenfreude.

What percentage of fired engineers are white males?

And if/when it comes time to rehire, will they all be H1B visa workers?

They are not being laid off because they are not needed.
They are being replaced by engineers in less developed countries.

This:
8/9/24
Stellantis is warning that it could lay off as many as 2,450 of the 3,700 union workers employed at a truck plant just outside of Detroit.
But how can a company pay for this? (I know raise prices of truck to $100k)
“Tinson says the layoffs could begin as soon as Oct. 8. The company said indefinitely senior union employees that are let go will receive 52 weeks of supplemental unemployment benefits and 52 weeks of transition assistance. That’s in addition to state unemployment benefits an employee might be eligible for. They will also get two years of healthcare coverage, the company said.”
