The UAW announced Sunday morning that it would strike "effective at midnight tonight" after contract negotiations fell through.

During a press conference on Sunday, the union's vice president said it informed GM that its membership would follow through after the contract ended Saturday at 11:59 p.m..

"This is our last resort," said VP Terry Dittes.

A spokesman said the strike impacts about 48,000 UAW workers at GM plants across the country.

And that is why the new Silverado costs $100Gs.

That’s the plan. If only the American companies had stayed in China, everyone would have still been unemployed, and everything would have been fine. But now that they’re back: Oh, no you can’t scare me, I’m stickin’ to the union...

Wish we could not only send every one of these phags to Canadia, but French Canadia

Fools. GM quality is in the basement. Maybe the UAW management are secret Toyota stockholders.

I fully redeemed myself with my 1987 MBZ 560 SEC.

golden chance...announce they’ve forfeited their jobs...and replace em.

[Rennes Templar]

Ridiculous.

Striking on orders from Rat Party Headquarters in Beijing.

And it starts at only about $59,900 or so. That's why I'm buying two. At least. Maybe three. Would be great for those late-night Taco Bell runs - or for Jack in the Box tacos - oh yeah - No In and Out around here.

Go ahead. Strike. It's past time for Government Motors to go out of business, sell its assets, and a new company start up in right-to-work states.

I saw a local ad for a new pickup about 3 months ago - Chevy I think.

It was about $73,995 BUT they were giving you $12,000 off so it was only about $61,995.

Scotty Kilmer on Youtube, a 51 year mechanic claims the equinox is one of the most crappiest domestic cars on the road today...outside of anything built by Chrysler/fiat of course.
I’ve been in one once...he’s right.
the thing was falling apart and it was only a couple of years old.

[wastedyears]

Can’t they just go to work? Why act like spoiled children?

And the dinosaurs bravely walk into the tar pit telling each other that everything is going to be fine.

[ Overheard a conversation between a lady and her friend in regards to her lease Escalade. Cussed it thoroughly, dealer was worthless, couldn’t fix it, etc...thank God the lease was up soon.

Her friend agreed, and asked what she planned to replace it with.

“Oh, a white one, I guess.” ]

She didn’t vote Democrat, by any chance, did she?

Nobody was going on strike when the economy SUCKED, so this just shows me that We The People (with the exception of the UAW) are going in the right direction!

Trump. 2020. Landslide. MAGA! KAG!

Having 10,000 $ manufacturing discounts on trucks that use to sell for 15,0000 ; and tuitions of 150,000$

At least in some other inflation destroyed places they have the decency to chop of the 000 ‘s

Makes you feel a bit better about the whole thing

[gogeo]

I’m thinking so.

[RebelTXRose]

Didn’t the UAW have to promise NOT to strike when sotero saved GM long time ago? Is this the first available date to strike after the no strike period?
