What, my car? 2008 Hummer H3, great condition. Slow seller now but figure it will move once we start getting snow.
The UNION in the Big Three has been there for OVER 70 years.
LONG before ‘foreign ‘ companies were making cars in the USA.
THANKS
GM, Ford, Stellantis Plants = Studebaker Plants
That’s my point.
The big three were forced to unionize by the government. Henry Ford despised unions and wouldn’t allow them. But all 3 were “encouraged” to accept them. And like bedbugs they are almost impossible to get rid of because of federal laws.
But foreign auto manufacturers can come in and not be hamstrung by unions. Just another way our elected reps sell us out.
Operators.....
I had to hire Union Iron workers on several TVA projects in right to work Tennessee. On one, a non union company came in and installed a shiny new crane to service their work on the elevated deck of the turbine room. Everybody came back on one Monday to see all the glass broken out and the cab trashed. The Operator’s Union was showing their love for the non Union workers with the nerve to bring a crane onto an operator’s job.
That was maybe 40 years ago but still disgusts me
Ha! That'd be doing the auto companies a favor!
Walter Reuther was great for auto manufacturers.
In Japan and Korea.
The present UAW leadership will do the same.
For China.
Just my hunch but here goes: The people that actually make the cars KNOW that eclectic cars are a hoax and want some of the bribe money Ford is taking from Joey to make believe everyone wants a EV which is just the opposite of reality. These union workers want a guarantee that they will get their money when Joey doesn’t have the bribe money to pay Ford and the other quislings.
Just my thoughts.
I was watching Biden on TV apparently speaking to the UAW about the “massive profits” the automakers have recently sustained. As I understand, their profits are pretty thin at this point, partly(or mostly?) because of their losses on EVs...which Biden is pushing when they aren’t selling well. Does Biden have any clue on what he’s doing? I am too old at this point & have never had any political aspirations at this point, but I think I could do a better job than he has. And yet Trump is the one they are fussing the most about...???? The Chinese man Sum Ting Wong saying that something does not compute here.
22 billion, 500 million.
Nice work if you can get it I guess.
