UAW On Strike Against GM Plan To Close Factories, Lay Off Workers, Despite Trump.

[PoliTalker]

Trump's America: Profits First!

"The union has been fighting to stop GM from closing auto assembly plants in Ohio and Michigan, and arguing workers deserve higher pay after years of record profits for GM in North America.

GM argues the plant shutdowns are necessary responses to market shifts, and that UAW wages and benefits are expensive compared with competing non-union auto plants in southern U.S. states. In its statement, the automaker said its offer to the union included solutions for the Michigan and Ohio assembly plants currently lacking products.

A person familiar with GM’s offer said that could include producing a future electric vehicle in Detroit.

It could also include turning a plant in Lordstown, Ohio, into an electric vehicle battery plant or going through with the proposed sale of the plant to a group affiliated with electric vehicle start-up Workhorse Group Inc.

A new battery plant could give some UAW workers at Lordstown the chance to remain with GM.

...

several Democratic presidential candidates said they backed the UAW, including Senators Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris, former Vice President Joe Biden and Representative Tim Ryan. "

UAW workers head for picket lines in first national strike against GM since 2007

Buy no GM products until this is resolved. To do so would be unpatriotic and unsupportive of American labor.

You don't understand how it works or what happened. But, Obama fucked a lot of people over in that deal. I hope he gets ass cancer like BAC has

Irony. Your comment proves that is it you who doesn't understand what happened. I'm going to guess you held GM stock when they were about to go under?

What would you have gotten if Obama allowed them to go under?

Yes he did and we were paid back. Good luck getting any of the 16 billion trump is having to spend to bail out the American farmer for no reason other than his own stupidity. not to mention he will have to do it again next year, and the next.

"GM’s offer said that could include producing a future electric vehicle in Detroit."

I don't think 'could include' is very settling language for those facing layoffs and plant closures.

If GM wanted to make commitments for that then that would be a different offer.

Trump's America: Shafting workers left and right so the rich can get richer. In Trump's world, the rich come first, at the expense of workers...

Trump didn't cause the strike. The UAW did. Trump didn't cause the coal strike in Kentucky. The miners did.

Yes, workers should simply and quietly accept whatever a company wants to do.

Nobody is forcing them to work there, dumbass.

[Celticguy]

Dontcha suppose if GM had sales to support additional output they would move to meet that demand ?
Fact is their outlook is shakey.

I thought BO gave the UAW the shares he stole from investors. That would have them striking against themselves.
