I'm very glad to see that US workers finally start to make their voices heard on a meaningful scale!
And a little amused at the utter inability of managements to deal with a world in which "just boss the underlings around, because we can" isn't a viable tactic anymore.
Very happy to see workers from different industries finally standing up for their rights and forcing the companies to the negotiating table, and winning.
Is there a way I can donate to a pool that directly helps striking workers? If there's not, is there a way to start a go fund me and hand control over to a union representative?
I'm glad to see these workers getting what they want but don't we all know the cost of whatever they get will just be passed on to the consumer and further balloon the price of cars? If car prices get much higher you'll have to be a factory worker making 100k just to buy one.
Is it? The Big 3 have made significant concessions at this point. There Is a certain level where a plant like that could move to Mexico. Dodge Ram has about half of its production in Mexico and their sales volume has not been impacted.
Just to keep the record straight, they are currently offering elimination of tiers, 3 years to the max wage level, 23% pay increase, COLA reinstatement. This puts their workers in a place to make $100k per year with no education at all after 3 years of work. Where else is that possible?
