UAW strike!

[BobJ]

If we use the Hollywood strike as an example, it's okay as long as you don't do a UAW job. So no bulding cars!

Doesn't mean they won't give you mean looks.

32 hrs for 40 ain’t happening

How does that work?
Is it like our attendance bonus: Work 32 and get 8 bonus hrs!

 

[UnionStrong]

How does that work?

They give everyone 8 hrs free every week?

Yep. 4 day’s work for 5 days pay. They’re crazy.

. Much of it has to do with the price I’m sure $80,000 trucks are not easy to sell.

judging by the parking lot when walking in to work, $80,000 trucks are pretty easy to sell

No, my point is only a few of the plants are shut down. Which to me doesn’t seem like too big a deal as the company has been shutting down plants left and right for a couple weeks here in there for months. I guess we will see.

The UAW is playing games by shutting down plants that supply key components to, say, an engine....that goes into a car....that gets paint.....that gets shipped....that goes to a dealer, etc...

Nice. The country is heading to a tipping point.

This is going to make the jacked automobile market much worse.
Disconcerting!

I think the 40% increase basically gets them up to what we’re making or slightly more, certainly they’re going to get a pretty good raise. I have no idea about the 32 hour work week seems like that’s gonna be a tough one.

I believe the concept of working 32 hours but getting paid for 40 is something very feasible in the near future, and UAW is in the right industry to advocate for it. I see this as achievable through the EV product line and automation. Both these factors allow for staffing reduction without negatively affecting production. Additionally, natural staffing attrition, such as retirements, resignations, and terminations, would work in both parties' favor. When an employee leaves, their position wouldn't be filled until staffing reaches the right size.

Overall, this approach would lead to a reduction in headcount and utilize a portion of the savings generated by automation and less labor-intensive products like EVs. This could likely cover the costs of the 32/40 plan.

Sure but I do not think that is what most people who are fighting for that want. That is what corporations want.

They need to fight for job security

They need to fight for job security

A job is not a welfare program.

Contact your local and ask. They will get specific instructions for how to honor the strike.

Well maybe just give her the part-time supervisors because that seems like a welfare program to me

 

[What'dyabringmetoday???]

Are they definitely asking for 32 hour workweek? Or four day workweek?

32 hours, 4 days, same thing. They want 3 days off. Not happening.

 

[What'dyabringmetoday???]

32 hours, 4 days, same thing.

Not really. Maybe they are asking for a "four-ten" workweek.
