Wages are NOT causing inflation. Wages declined 3.5% Y o Y.
And what about the line workers?
BootyJudge and Biden will bail$ them out.
βHasn’t seemed to have made a difference for the writers in Hollyweird. So...I’m thinking, no. β
Hollywood writers donβt produce things that people need.
Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai, Subaru, Kia, VW, Mercedes-Benz, BMV and Volvo all build vehicles in the USA.
The “Big Three” can ALL go under and Americans will still have plenty of jobs building motor vehicles and a lot of choices of vehicles to buy.
They should strike until the car makers abandon the EV garbage.
Normally I would assume this is all staged stuff and the outcome has been predetermined. But this time I am not so sure. EVs are a fundamental threat to the UAW as others have noted on this thread. The EV does not require nearly as much skilled labor to assemble as an ICE vehicle.
Similarly, I think the Big Three might view this strike as a chance to break the back of the UAW. The union has had a very tough time getting any wins in the southern plants or with any of the foreign manufacturers. Inventory is starting to pile up, especially with EVs, and they might be willing to take a prolonged strike to try and really remake the UAW-Big Three relationship. Government mandates have thrown a wrench into things here as they always do.
If they are striking at Electric Vehicle plants, they are doing the automakers a favor

It can be argued that neither do the UAW workers. For a while anyway.
Only a union member can stand, wave signs and cheer at the fact that they no longer have a paycheck.
