Will UAW Strike?

Really happy now that I don't need any more new vehicles in my lifetime. I hate to see what the prices are going to do now.

I am having the same thought and even happier many are devoid of electronics!

One top CEO said the real money do id being able to hit a baseball or shoot a basket…

Exactly…

 

[plowhog]

Even if they work 80 hours a week...that would come to $5050 per hour.

Before tax. Isn't that the 102% tax bracket?

My 61 bug doesn't even have a gas guage.

 

[ultrarunner]

Mine too…

The oldest come with a dip stick that looks like a wood paint stick…

A brass tag cautioned not to use open flame to check fuel… I guess a closed flame ok?

My only hands on Union experienced is Tool and Die and Aerospace… some very talented men doing very precise work…

Not accustomed to a Union Shop I did have a learning curve but it was mostly break time is break time and end of shift is end of shift kind of things…

This looks to be a departure as all three will face picket lines.

In the past UAW would concentrate efforts on one to keep Union dues rolling in and concentrate efforts to break one knowing it would have a ripple effect...

At least my understanding of more recent history.

The rolling strikes could be precise and effective. It could be a long winter for some. But AI will probably be used by both sides. The eventual losers might be the guys that want the 32 hour work week for 40 hours pay finding they will get a labor force of robots where they are no longer needed.

My experience with "unionized" is that it allows the sloths to sleep and discourages the go-getters.

I find it interesting that Farley got to be CEO of Ford, Chris Farley would be proud of his relative.

Agree!
I think we will reach the point where robotics & AI will be used to the point where very little UAW labor will be needed anymore.
One advantage of EV’s is they have fewer moving parts. They present an opportunity to eliminate a lot more human hands assembling vehicles.

Now if they can just build a Ram 5500 4WD EV that’ll tow 35-40K like my present Cummins powered Ram….

like the Tesla semi?

Yeah, sure but thats a bit big for my needs. Encouraging to see that someday they might be available.
