Hello Celticguy,
But of course. OK first consider just how rich the rich are now. Well, that is way way richer than most people think. Then consider that after more labor is eliminated, more profits are showered on the already rich, they are going to be FAR richer than they are today. Since they already have way more than they ever need, they won't miss it if more is paid into the system that must include a UBI.
The unions made concessions to help GM avoid bankruptcy. GM is fine now. Time to pay the workers back.

Hello anonymoose,
You act like it is just one group at one plant. Not the case. 49,000 workers spread across numerous locations. They all walked out together. The strike could do them a lot of good if it gets GM to the table with some better proposals. People are uncomfortable shopping for a GM car while this is in the news.

Hello COC,
That was funny. Purely fictional, but funny. I'm sure the workerless factory is in our future, I'm just not sure when. For now, building cars takes a lot of workers. Corporations have to remember they are employing people, not buying machines. Hard working people deserve to have good pay and benefits. If they are going to make a commitment to work, the company needs to return that with a commitment to employ. Right now, GM has a big problem on their hands. They need to do something. The workers are not trying to be unreasonable. They just want what they think is a fair shake.

Hello anonymoose,
Union member agree to stand up for one another. when one plant gets closed who knows which plant is next? They are not going to just sit around waiting. Talks of plant closures anywhere rattle workers everywhere. They are all striking at all locations. 49,000 workers not working. That should get GM motivated. If people wise up this doesn't have to last long and everybody can get back to work, the plants can start producing again.

They make $90k+ not including benefits.
That proves government motors goes very cheap on materials.
I wouldn't own a GM if they gave it to me.
Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.
Why not? Capitalism works.
Lie. The UAW is what is forcing GM to close those plants.
There ya go. Q.E.D.
Well, they tried. The UAW talked itself out of a job.
Again, the UAW talked itself out of a job.
GM doesn't make batteries.
Of course they do. The UAW is right in the Democrat party's pockets. This strike and the timing of it is designed to make Trump look bad.
Of course. They are socialists. The abhor capitalism, just like the UAW.
Right. Force GM out of business so they can't hire the workers to build cars. That'll work!
There is NO American labor here. They are on strike, dumbass.
