UAW On Strike

I have been under the impression that only the Big 3 were unionized. BMW, Nissan, Volkswagen, Mercedes, KIA, Toyota, etc are not. Are they not mostly located in the South?
Nissan in Smyrna is not unionized despite the demoncrap socialists best efforts.

Apparently, Southerners are too dumb to realize that they could make more money and have better benefits if they were unionized. They prefer
to be underpaid.

Volkswagen in Chattanooga has rejected unionization attempts twice.
 
UAW has been frustrated in their attempts to unionize southern mfg plants. I wonder if these over the top demands have been with an eye towards being able to beat their chest and say "See what we can do!" in preparing for another round of attempts?

I'm sure that is being figured into their strategy.

have you ever worked in a union shop? I have both as a member of the union and as an non-member. It's a shizshow unless you genuinely enjoy crazy work rules and working with people who don't give a crap about doing a good job because they don't have to.
 
That would be fine IMHO, but overtime shouldn't start until they hit 45 hours. In other words, straight pay until then.
That would be fine? They want a paid holiday every week. How is that fine? That's crap. Raise their pay to whatever but no, you don't get paid to not work. That's a real bad principle to start. It reminds me of refundable tax credits. BS principle invented by Democrats. I call it welfare

You do realize you are on a Tennessee message board and Tennessee is in the South don’t you?

Go out of business for all I care. In fact the Dem efforts to milk the industry may even be their plan and the idiots go for it. I will never buy their pos anyways.

I'm not saying they should get paid for forty hours while only working 32. I'm just saying that if they get a 40% hourly increase that they only get paid for what they work. And over time won't kick in until a higher minimum had been met. I guarantee to they would be more productive in the long run. So... settle for a 35 hour work week, overtime doesn't apply until 45. They will work 12+% more before ever seeing $.01 in overtime pay which i'll bet is what they really want. Their net raises would be far less than the 40% being advertised.

I don't know how long it had been since they had a pay raise, but I know that the hourly increases that airline pilots are getting are touted as being enormous, but they fall short of inflation. Throw in Bidenomics and the equations are all askew
 
Unions have destroyed this country!
This isn't completely true as a stand alone. Government shares a much bigger share of that charge. Unions have increased QOL and standards of living of workers over the decades, but the double edged sword because overseas labor is cheaper. I know it isn't popular here, but we should want to raise the foreign QOL and SOL rather than drop ours. How do we do that?

You force Apple to stop building their iPhones in slave states like China. How do you do that? Tax the dog **** out of every iPhone that comes out of China until they move to another place.

Fire away.

Fire away.
I don't disagree with you, but it's going to drive up consumer prices here.
