Strike??? Thoughts, insights, predictions.

Anyway, back to strike talk. UAW says they need a serious offer by noon tomorrow(Friday) or they’re going to shut down more plants. Be interesting if they go after Arlington. My 23’ suburban is scheduled for next week

Just bring it all down (either OEMs or UAW)... that way we can just settle this once and for all.

Well another post that is being threatened a shut down and other posts that have been shut down with a certain member being in the middle of it. Unreal. Not what this forum is all about.

Does anyone know what is stopping the Big 3 from saying "ya know what, this isn't worth it, F the union we are done here". Then just hiring new people and being a non-union like Toyota?

Its what I wish they would do... But be careful.. I mentioned something like that on page 1 of this thread, and it got deleted..

Update on the stellantis side, guy I talked to this morning that works for them told me the Ram 1500 plant in Sterling Heights, MI is where they will be striking next. So that’s a big one for them.

This will also affect parts orders.

On GMPartsGiant.com:

"The strike by the United Auto Workers union is causing a delay for GM dealers to receive parts across the United States. Your order may experience a longer processing time."

I wonder if OEMs will be about to outlast strike pay.

In some states it would be against state law.

I don't have a dog in this hunt but in my day job I research and consult with companies all over the world on their employee experience. Labor relations practices have changed significantly since the '70s when the news was filled with acrimonious strikes at steel plants in Pittsburgh and elsewhere.

@NothEastTahoe @Geotrash I’ve heard it mentioned that GM should hire scab workers and just pay the penalties/fines, I have no clue how this works or the legal side of it or if that’s even something they can do….?

I was going to suggest people stock up on spare parts, but the parts come from suppliers that shouldn't be affected.
