Will UAW Strike?

[5030]

Urban decay is only in urban areas not out here in fly over country, at least none that I see. Michigan is a beautiful state if you avoid urban areas, which is easy to do.

Back on subject once again...

I keep getting the feeling that Fain (UAW) is asking for way more than the automakers will agree to. Like I said previously, once the UAW strike fund is depleted, I suspect things will change dramatically.

No 'income' at all equals disenchanted rank and file I suspect.

I am glad he is safe! I hope he is appreciated by the community he serves!

Thank you and I believe he is but that doesn't stop the scum from nearby cities from doing their 'business' in his town and willing to take him out instead of going to jail.

Agreed and I did enjoy my time at Greenfield Village and visiting Fair Lane and the Detroit Auto Museum…

More to see upon my return someday like Ford Piquette Avenue Plant, etc.

If the UAW and automotive keeps deminishing is that good or bad for Detroit and Michigan?

Been there and in reality it takes 2 days to really absorb Greenfield Village. Too bad the 'urban blight' has surrounded it.

That is typical with unions. At a minimum they demand at least double what they hope to get, which might be 50% increase, which allows room to "compromise".

It may, but it is not going to be as immediate as you seem to think

I think that will depend entirely on how 'up against it' the rank and file is. Around here at least, most of them are solidly up against it and 500 a week isn't cutting the cheese at all. They are used to living and spending on the mandatory overtime.

Christmas is coming as well. Gonna be a ton of 'coal' for presents I suspect.

The temp hiring practices are pretty messed up. The fix is for people to quit taking those jobs and eventually the job market would fix itself but production workers typically cant afford to turn down a lot of jobs.

I've heard of local electrical shops being so short handed they are hiring temps to do electrical work who are essential fast food workers

Disagree. If the job can be done by temp, nothing wrong with that. Hopefully it will break the unions over time. The idea that someone who needs work should turn down work, so they don't disrupt a bunch of privileged union guys is ridiculous.
