UAW Strike Ends with Higher Wages, Better Benefits for Auto Workers
Breitbart ^ | 10/30/2023 | JOHN BINDER

Posted on 10/30/2023 1:08:55 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

The United Auto Workers (UAW) will end its strike against the Big Three as the labor union has reportedly reached a tentative agreement with General Motors (GM). The UAW had, in the last few days, reached similar deals with Ford and Stellantis.

On Monday morning, reports circulated that the UAW had reached a deal with GM. According to details available, the deal mimics many components of the union’s deal with Ford, where base wages will increase 25 percent through April 2028.

Likewise, the deal reinstates benefits that GM’s auto workers have not enjoyed since the Great Recession, such as cost-of-living allowances, a three-year wage progression, and an elimination of wage tiers among union workers.

Ford workers get up to $40.00+ per hour guess they can pay for the $20.00 an hour French fry burners.

This is going to price unionized vehicles out of the market. It’s also coming at the same time that manufacturers are being forced to make costly transitions to building electric vehicles. A loser all-around and debacle for the domestic automotive industry.

I can’t believe dealers are still doing the mark-ups.

I bought in 2021 when the markups were starting to ramp up. Found a dealer with no markup but had to pay retail.

My son had to pay a markup in 2022.

Those come with factory installed rust. Keep that in check and it’ll last a while. Heck my daily right now is an 03 Cadillac Escalade with 321,000 mi on it.

Good for them!!! Hope they enjoy the extra cash for the next year or two after which the layoffs come because no one will pay $60k for a Ford Focus.

"And Higher prices for the cars that Americans won’t buy. The unions have destroyed the auto industry in this country. This is just throwing more dirt over their graves."

Not to worry; the Unions know they will get bailed-out by Taxpayers, as always, to keep the money-laundering to politicians in constant flow. Unions are for those who can't work for a living, and get protected status for sitting on their asses; that's what drove manufacturing off-shore, and drove government hiring to sky-high wage meaningless/un-productive jobs (for relatives and friends), via AFSME, SEIU, NEA, etc. I don't know how many government-dependent parasites we can afford to support, but they just borrow to pay them, and send you the bill...........I'll never by another Big-3 vehicle in my lifetime, for sure.

I've already been there for about 20 or so years. Cafe standards, along with the labor unions destroyed the American auto industry.

It’s also worth noting that many states make it illegal to permanently fire striking workers

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It’s federal law. The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) governs how employers may treat employees who are involved in protected labor activities. The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has interpreted this federal law as protecting the right of employees to strike and prohibiting employers from terminating workers for exercising that right.

So, as in damn near every business, the increased costs get passed on to the customers, with an additional increase to massage the investors.

Anyone know what’s in their new contracts concerning staff cuts and automation and robots taking jobs.

Probably they got pretty much everything else. It won’t be hard to find much less expensive labor. I heat that sucking sound again.

Well, the majority shareholder of GM is the Shanghai Motor Company. A company in bed with the Chinese Communist Party.

Every time you buy a GM you give money to the CCP
