| Auto Workers Strike - all three major USA companies but not every plant |
| 2023-09-15 |
| Auto workers launched a historic series of strikes Friday morning against Ford, General Motors and Stellantis, making good on a threat to walk off the job if the "Big 3" failed to meet their demands. Never before has the United Auto Workers union carried out a simultaneous work stoppage at all three automakers. But rather than strike every plant involved in the labor dispute, the union called on workers to walk out at only certain facilities when their contracts expired at midnight. -------- style=background-color:YELLOW;>in other news, WTI crude now over $90/bar again |

| #6 On average, U.S. autoworkers on assembly lines earn something like $28 to $33+ p/hr depending of skills and seniority. CCost Dictates Prices. Example given: The new Ford truck MSRP prices are: King Ranch $73,425 Platinum $73,425 Raptor $77,980 Basically the UAW wants more $$$$$$$ for a worker screwing on nuts and etc... Which the UAW leaders will likely work out a private deal to line a few pockets. While some minor added worker $.00 is added. The leadership will get a pay raise. LSD's who step in to oversee the negotiations will be rewarded with more union collected retirement dues for they campaigns or pockets. NOW ADD The LSD's openly stated conflicting environmental tree-hugging agenda to eliminate Fossil Fuel powered vehicles by 2030? Sorry,Detroit . I'll be buying a totaled wreck with side door area damage with <50K miles for $4 to $6k at a Auto Auction for the Motor & Trans and other parts that I may need and strip it. |
