The worst job I had in my life was a union job. There was no incentive to work harder because pay raises came only for the whole union through the contract, not through merit.

How about “UAW cannot convince almost 70% of auto plant workers to join union.”

Typical MSM, 30% do …..meaning 70% don’t.

I served a 15 year sentence with a Tier One supplier to GM Powertrain. Left me with an implacable hatred for the UAW and also GM’s middle management. The GM’s engineers should all get Nobel Prizes for putting out as good a product as they did, obstructed as much as they were by the UAW. (Which they claimed actually stood for United Against Work.)

Unions are like termites, once they infest a place they destroy it.

30% of Hyundai workers want to eliminate their own job.

Teamsters: Anheuser-Busch Strike Appears Unavoidable

Freeper higgmeister reply 36:

The Union representative was a New Jersey thug right out or central casting. He looked me in the eye and I'm sure he knew I wasn't buying his lies.

I went back to the President of the company to tell him it was a lost cause because all of his production line leads were all in the Union thug's pocket and told all of their workers to sign the cards.

The job I was working at the time although one of the most important (Receiving clerk and forklift operator delivering all parts to every production line), the Union put at the bottom of the craftsmen grades. Before the announcement that the Union won and I got my pink slip, I had my delayed enlistment slot for a guaranteed job in the USAF.

I was told later that when the company began working again after the Unionized employee restructure, the production output didn't ever reach one quarter of the output before the Union organizing and the company shut its doors for good within months.

Another way to put it is that 7 out of ten people in that plant think Unions are pissant corrupt Democrats that can only make things worse. the MSM is trying to make skunk smell sweet.

Yes - the headline should be “only 30%” - not “more than” to make it sound like a huge majority.

So I have had a union job or two in my time.... I detested both of them. The “union” did nothing but give up benefits to the companies I worked for and line their own pockets. 70% of the people at that plant don’t want them.... none of them should.... UAW will do nothing but destroy that plant.... look at Detroit.

“More than 30%...” not enough - go away or they’ll shut the factory down and make cars in Mexico you dopes.

How about “UAW cannot convince almost 70% of auto plant workers to join union.”

Or how about How about “UAW cannot convince more than half of their own country men and women to buy their cars.”

Unions, for the most part, are parasitic organizations. The union leaders live lives of luxury while providing lots of promises for the workers. Their total focus is on doing less for more and increasing membership which increases the their revenue stream.

I'm actually quite happy with our 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5. EV's aren't for everyone. But in my quest to be a bit self-reliant with energy through solar, and doing a lot of local driving (which means an EV charged at home with solar can extend the free power out onto the road), the Hyundai EV's throughput helped meet my desires. In our case, of the 26K miles we drove last year, 16K of those miles were charged at home.

In the past 365 days, 80% of my power was provided on location from solar, with me having to buy only 20% of my power consumed from the grid. The EV's driving efficiency is part of that. Because of the energy efficiency improvements made to the home (more insulation, sealing cracks, variable speed heat pump, hybrid water heater), and because we drive a lot, the end result is that my most power consuming "appliance" is charging the EV. And Hyundai's version of the EV is about the most efficient one you can get that's in the crossover shape for us tall people (unlike say the Kia EV6 which has the same tech but has a lot less drag and is more efficient) without paying a ton.

Repeal the 1935 National Labor Relations Act and let collective bargaining be treated as what it is: a violation of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act.
