Plenty UAW workers with brains that vote Republican that see right through the Democrat/Communist Party..
Looks like you are the only affected by this now..... Kaiser aka Medicade is talking strike next week now. Government Employee's. This will cause problems for many when their free Medical is no more!

Ford warns extended UAW strike could result in up to 500,000 supplier employee layoffs​

Can see by the interest in this thread how many are not even thinking about Ford....

UAW leadership "continues to expand the strike while upping the rhetoric and the theatrics. It’s clear that there is no real intent to get to an agreement." BerrA not Yogi said...

Week 3 starts on Friday… Workers I think are getting $500 a week from the union. Wonder if their Health Insurance continues.

The strikers have some legitimate gripes....Im directly affected by the Jeep layoffs....Jeep has hundreds of temp workers (they call them SE's) that have been temps for 6 & 7 years at $17 per hour or roughly the same as a McDonalds worker nowadays...That would be my biggest gripe 2 workers in the same assembly plant doing the same exact job making vastly different pay rates & benefits....Thats Bullshit..
WEEK 4 tomorrow…..
This is how the non union people have lived and will live till the end of time so I can see no-one not only here but anywhere showing their support. Where were the Ford workers when the public was pushing for $15 an hour? They cared as much about others as others care now about whatever….. their problem is..

tougher now with $15 not covering expenses for most.

Average Joe/Mary work 2 jobs or 60 hours a week not 32 hours like UAW is asking. Lots of those working the 2 jobs are 60 year olds?

wouldn't say "plenty", i'd say MAYBE 20% vote GOP. got many friends in the unions (not UAW specifically) and their bosses tell them who to vote for, and it's never the Republican. never. a couple go the other way but the rest feel pressured to vote for the DEM

Foll me once shame on me fool me twice shame on you!

If we are going to truly take on the billionaire class and rebuild the economy so that it starts to work for the benefit of the many and not the few, then it's important that we not only strike, but that we strike together.” Says it all!

Fain also mixes in Scripture with his speeches, telling the Atlantic that his favorite verse was Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 and his favorite line from it was: “A cord of three strands is not easily broken.” Fain says that the passage “speaks about what life’s about: standing together and helping one another and loving one another.”

Detroit Free Press obtained on Friday a copy of the strike settlement agreement between the UAW and Ford, which employs the most hourly workers in the automotive industry with about 57,000. The strike agreement estimates a payment of $110 per affected person per day, according to a UAW source familiar with the formula used to calculate payments.
