Upcoming UAW Strike

Look, I don't want the big three to fail & go out. I just want some reasonable pricing. The wages & benefits that the UAW wants & the stupidly, outrageous profits that the greedy automakers are raking in, is beyond belief. There is no way the consumers can continue to pay these high prices. The UAW & the automakers both need to get off of it & do the right thing.

I remember reading a post in this thread that said there were thousands of migrants at the border waiting for jobs & they could replace these UAW workers.
I understand the point but what the automakers need to do is close up shop, rebrand & move to some of the southern states like Miss, Ark & La where the economy is bad, & rebuild. People down here will be glad to work 8 hour shifts for 40 hours a week for $20 an hour with reasonable benefits.
Detroit aint the only place in the US they can build cars. If they can build new plants in Mexico, they can build new plants in the southern US.

Closing up shop & going out of business is not going to do anybody any good. But, as it is now, the automakers won't ever be able to go back & reset UAW contracts to previous wages & benefits. It cant go but one way & that's up. It'll never go down.
The big 3 don't have but 2 choices for the future. Either go out of business due to high costs/prices & sales completely stop...... or rebrand, which will get them out of current union contracts, and start business under another brand in a region where wages are lower/reasonable.
Will the UAW still invade? Yes but it'll restart the clock at $20 hr.

 

So, how about if they hire cheaper labor & along with cheaper labor cost, lower their profit margin & sell a pickup truck for $40,000 instead of $75,000?
As I and the story I posted have discussed, that is the two biggest issues right now driving up vehicle prices. Labor cost & "insane" profits.

 

And I agree with your statements. Its what I already stated in a previous post.

And I agree with you. Its exactly what I said in my previous post.

Again, greedy auto makers, the UAW & people who won't stop buying cars.

But its a widely & heated topic in the country right now with everyone complaining about high car prices... again, because of the greedy automakers, the UAW with their ridiculous demands & (as my mom would say) consumer with more money than sense, who wont stop buy $80,000 vehicles.

We're all agreeing here. Me, you, & everybody else from New Mexico to New Jersey.
