Stupid move. Striking rarely helps either the workers or company. The local UAW for the Peterbilt plant called for a strike several years ago and was on strike for about 18 months, The benefits they were on strike for were heavily outweighed by wages lost during the strike.

It was finally settled, but a little more than two years later they called for another strike. This time Peterbilt had had enough so they moved 100% of their production to their other non-union plant in Texas and hired additional workers to handle the increase in production. All the hourly workers in Tennessee we out of a good-paying job permanently.

Yeah--one thing the globalists do not understand is that when your labor market goes global, like they want, your union power evaporates.

They gotta choose, and I believe they chose poorly.
