UAW strike!

[Thebrownblob]

I wouldn't call it stealing. More like subsidizing FT pay and benefits.

And don’t forget, making sure the company has no reason to hire more full-time people.

We never cross a picket line... ever

We have. Don't know all the circumstances but something was arranged.

Jim Cramer Says OEMs Should Move American Auto Manufacturing To Mexico In Response To UAW Demands

Just completely gut American auto manufacturing. What could go wrong?

He Is a peach. And why does anybody listen his financial advice? You’re best to do it the exact opposite of what he says.

Why?

Don't know but receiving was moved off the line.

We’ve had management cross a picket line and deliver packages before.

Most other times they would just hold them at the building and the customer would come and pick them up.

What if I slide the package across the picket line, without crossing it?

What about the Hollywood writers? Do you actually expect me to respect their picket line, too?

In my building they will hold all strike packages. Customer can come get them.

And don’t forget, making sure the company has no reason to hire more full-time people.

The low PT wages are the only reason the company will not hire more FT members. Didn't always used to be like this.

What do you mean didn’t always? The early 80s is a long time ago and they were not hiring a lot then either. The company being allowed to constantly do groundwork with article 40 air drivers definitely had an overall lower rate of compensation (ie never getting a full-time pension or any eight hour guarantee) put a Band-Aid over the situation of the need for more full-time people.

There is going to be a shift coming soon, because the company can no longer force sixth punch. It is complete panic mode for management as early October comes soon. Routes will be sitting on Mondays and Saturdays, or they will be breaking these routes down and adding them to people who can’t get them done, causing more service failures and injuries until they decide to hire more people.

At least in my building, air drivers don't constantly run ground routes unlike Locals that allow PT coverage drivers. The Union has had 40 years to address the low PT wages and Art 40 issues.

I agree with you about Part time cover drivers, an unnecessary concession.

Lol, 40 years, did nothing. Sounds like the Central pension.

I just talked with my brother who works at the Bowling Green Corvette plant. He thinks they will get that raise but at the expense of their profit-sharing plan. He doesn't think the 32-hour work week will happen either. Last year he got a $12,500 bonus, some years he got as much as $45,000. The one GM plant shut down is called "Wentzfield", it's about 40 miles from St. Louis. They build the Canyon small pickup and a SUV there. They do stamp sheet metal for other lines that will force a couple of other plants to close.

They always have the west to loot.

Maybe it's "Wentzville"?

"Every dime the auto industry is spending on Joe Biden’s radical climate mandates should be spent on workers," U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., posted on social media. "They deserve better wages, better hours, and a guarantee their jobs will be safe – not shipped off to China."

My on car told me last week the 7 is due out next year. Apparently the company is done with the 6 as well.
