Strike??? Thoughts, insights, predictions.

Prices increased even when minimum wage stayed stagnant for years. So this argument is invalid. Bottom line is that corporation raised prices and made more profits while still paying the workers less.

Then they should find another job in a different industry.

This is why they have a representative to bargain for them and don't have to get another job and start over at another job with earning benefit's and pay again. Heh maybe they like their jobs and don't want to try a different occupation.

I see that Ford says they are not raising their last offer, could be a long winter?

And the workers walked out of the Kentucky plant which makes the super duty’s, expedition, and navigators. Yikes!

All I can hope is Ford stick to their guns... And GM and Mopar join the hold out.

Yeah and this Shawn Fain making $350,000 a year just wants to put more money in his wallet from union dues. My dad was a teamster and never had anything good to say about them, he retired and was collecting his pension after 5 years past he got a letter in the mail stating his pension is going to get cut in half. This happened to other's that he worked with and retired.

The UAW doesn't pay pension's and at moment workers at big three hired after 08 don't have pensions eighter.
As far as union dues are for what is going on right now in pay for striking workers.

Sorry, but Union work in the auto industry has been a sham. Abolish the unions and have right to work states be able to handle their business. But the biggest sham is CEO getting record paychecks while no compensation for the rest of the company. If the company does good for the year, bonus should be paid across the board to all workers. There is no reason for CEO to get multi million bonuses.

Hopefully both sides stick to their guns so we can get to the conclusion sooner.

Well, the CEO is the big boss. Everybody kisses up to the boss - except the shareholders. If the stock price is going up the boss gets big bonuses, stock price goes down the boss gets tossed out the window - with that golden parachute - and is pretty much set for life. That's business.
