As inflation really starts to kick in, expect lots more strikes.

I don't either. I got verbally assaulted by a guy (in Maine of all places) because I was driving a Japanese car.

I was so startled by it that I was speechless, but if I hadn't been rendered mute, I would have said much the same. Giving money to an organization that is going to donate to candidates who want people like me dead.

UAW negotiated it, and 90% of the members rejected it. Sounds like they need to replace their union delegates.

[flame suit on] I “was” a union sympathizer. My aunt and grandma made a great living in union shops (General Motors and Safeway). The idea of a general strike against the illegitimate Xiden regime still appeals to me. The “Solidarity” union was the David hurling the first stone against the Soviet Goliath. HOWEVER, today’s American unions blindly support Democrat candidates who openly say they’ll send more jobs overseas in the name of “free trade” and bring in more third world scabs to take the jobs that can’t be sent overseas.

Without good music, and lovely natural feminine women in hiphuggers, or denim shorts.

I was a deere man for most of my life until the “legendary” quality fell on its face, the tractors became plastic, manufactured in india of all places, full of unreliable electronics with technology for its own sake and far more expensive than they deserved to be. Add to that the union and the repair issues and I went to CashIH and anything else but deere. A friend just switched to Kubota across the board after being a die hard deere customer. He even ditched his deere bailer going to Vermeer. I never thought I’d see the day.

Green and Yellow sure are pretty still though but I’ll pass it by.

Exactly—nobody wants to agree on a contract once inflationary expectations kick in—they could get stuck with substantial cuts in their real wages.

What unions will want is _very_ short term contracts to be re-negotiated based on future inflation—or contracts that include cost of living adjustments instead of fixed dollar amounts.

It is Jimmy Carter all over again...

A labor union strike is extortion (and price-fixing) made legal by the demoncrat-written, passed and signed 1935 Labor Relations Act.

It should have been either rescinded or tested before SCOTUS decades ago.
