UAW demands LOL

“Here is a list of the UAW’s demands” (48% is Fox’s)
“Eliminate tiers. Currently, automakers have a tiered wage system. Workers in the first tier earn about $28 per hour, and those hired after 2007 are in the second tier and earn about $16 to $19 per hour.”
“Wage increases. The UAW is demanding double-digit pay raises.
”Restore COLA. The UAW is demanding Cost of Living Adjustments (COLA) be restored.”
“Defined benefit pension for all workers.”
“Re-establish retiree medical benefits.”
“Right to strike over plant closures.”
“Working family protection program.”
“Make temporary workers permanent.”
“More paid time off.”
“Increase retiree pay.”

Given the automakers recorded billions in profit last year, executives gave themselves forty percent raises, and some workers start at $16 an hour, a double digit pay raise doesn’t seem that unreasonable
And the automakers would lose more if they had to replace close to 150,000 skilled and semi skilled workers

Yep. They never should have been bailed out in 2009.
Only Ford didn’t need a bailout.
Not as easy as it seems, in fact, many of the current skilled positions now are controlling robotics

Profit is not as bad word dipshit, its a CEOs job to make as much as possible. If the guy making 16.00 is not happy with that quit find other work!

Just what we needed hundreds of thousands of people out of work, and manufacturing jobs heading to Asia.

All have plants in the U.S. And BMW’s largest plant in the world is in S. Carolina.

Profits go to Asia, parts and supplies come from Asia. Engines are built in Asia.

So what? Those auto workers will get jobs with increased demand for foreign manufacturers in the U.S.
Anyway, tell that to archives. She’s the one complaining about domestic auto companies making TOO MUCH profit.

I wonder why companies prefer to do business in Asia?

Since we have already given the Asians all of our electronics jobs, let's give them our auto manufacturing also. Maybe all manufacturing! Then you cant whine and complain about wages, hours and benefits of union workers.
