Autoworkers Score Big Wins in New Contracts With Carmakers

[BidenPresident]

A six-week wave of strikes that hobbled the three largest U.S. automakers has resulted in tentative contract agreements that would give workers their biggest pay raises in decades while avoiding a protracted work stoppage that could have damaged the economy.

On Monday, General Motors and the United Automobile Workers reached a deal that mirrored agreements the union had reached in recent days with Ford Motor and Stellantis, the parent company of Ram, Jeep and Chrysler.

Interesting that Belvidere is going to reopen at some point....only had about 1000 jobs left when it closed, down from the once over 5,000 (maybe more way back, Google sucks now) ....not sure what they think it will have now.

Look for car prices to go up another 10% now thanks to our president Joe the Pedophile Vegetable. Pedo Joe should have stayed out of this.

More robots =fewer workers. The labor costs in vehicles have dropped precipitously since the 90s.

Belvidere is a huge plant....lightly used for a lot of its last years....considered excess in the end.
