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.

“Higher Wages, Better Benefits for Auto Workers”

And…$100,000 for a Ford focus. These guys already made as much or more than some master degreed professionals

The GOP in the House, in an election year, due to increase losses at Ford, GM and Stellantis, will have to old off against what I expect will be requests for federal bailouts for the U.S. automakers.

for all I care the auto industry can go bankrupt. And this time taxpayers had better not be billed for their bailout. place the blame on government mandates and cradle to grave entitlements demanded by greedy unions!

Suprised to see this, as I figured the car companies demand is down enough that they could afford a longer strike.

Only a few years left for them to make any money, so might as well get all they can get in the time remaining.

It’s all fine and dandy as long as people keep buying the overpriced vehicles they make. However that’s not currently happening.

Easy solution is to not buy a new vehicle. The problem will solve itself.

“That closure is a positive for the carmakers. But it portends difficult times ahead for the Detroit Three with the new pacts expected to push the companies’ labor costs higher than initially expected when talks began.

“We won things nobody thought was possible,” UAW President Shawn Fain said Wednesday.

Ford executives are already talking about the need to offset the higher expenses in its latest deal. The automaker has said the UAW contract would add $850 to $900 per vehicle in additional costs. “

Soon, only the very well-off will be able to afford a vehicle. Just as has been planned by the WEF.

Remember the scenes from the Mad Max movies where the vehicles were made from pieces and parts of various old cars? Yeah, that’s what we will have to do if we want to drive. In your prepping plans make sure to include a friendship with a shade-tree or retired army mechanic who is used to rebuilding gas powered engines. Then you will only have to worry about stealing the various needed parts and some gas.

What? They got a 25% increase and COLAS but NOT the 32 hour work week for the same pay they were demanding? Outrageous!

About 15 years ago my aunt came to visit me. On the way home from the airport, in typical blunt Serbian fashion, she asked me how much money I made. I told her.

“Ahh!” she sneered, “I couldn’t live on that.”

I was a mid-career structural test engineer at an aerospace company. She was in the UAW at Chrysler, working a tool crib.
