It's just a matter of time with GM. Over the next few years, as other contracts, across the nation, come up for renewal, I think pay and benefits are going to are going to go up across the board. It helps entire communities when there's a strong union shop in the area. Other companies that are non union have to increase pay and benes to their workers to keep them. it's a trickle down kind of thing. The only folks that are seeing a reduction in their profitability are the ones that do nothing but move money around in their investments, even then they are still getting a return.

I hope they go back before they drive the companies to go back offshore

MAJ Byron Oyler - I feel like they should have their own union. The hospital corps and Med ins companies are taking way to much money for the services provided and all that money is going into rich men's pockets.

SGT (Join to see) - Healthcare does have its own unions and I would never strike. Sat through one union brief when I first retired from Army and the talk of the leaders were as anti-manager and anti-capitalism as I would have imagined Lenin to be a hundred years earlier. Hearing those two talk would think they were anti-profit and the thing the UAW does not get is the big three are not going to lose money with American workers and will either raise the prices such that the workers cannot afford a vehicle or ship their jobs to Mexico. Neither is a win.

MAJ Byron Oyler - The Mexico option hasn't worked to well for the companies that tried it. The company I retired from, Bridgestone, found that it's Mexican workers weren't reliable to just come to work, and their ability to get the job done, when they came to work, was severely lacking. The stories you don't see are all the companies that have brought their manufacturing back to CONUS after losing huge sums trying to make a cheaper product out sourcing. When a company is making record profits so a few people at the top can flaunt their wealth it's time for the labor union to step in. After all, what's the difference in spendability between $100M and $1B.

They have to be careful with this. New cars are almost out of reach pricewise. They keep pushing, they could 'raise' themselves out of a job.

LTC Trent Klug Wages from the average person aren't keeping up with the percentage of increased cost of buying a new vehicle. My cars are eleven and twenty-three years old. As long as they run I won't buy a new one with prices the way they are. The yuppies who want to keep up with their neighbors will buy even if it kills them!

Cpl Vic Burk I see it every day here on the Big Island. My son's school has 92% of the kids living below the poverty line, yet most are driven to schools in cars less than five tears old.
I'm doing the same thing you are. My truck is 15 years old with 209k on it. My other care is a 2012. It's got 130k on it.

Lee Iacocca took a $1 salary back in 1980s, but today's auto CEOs and senior executives are taking far more.

Big Three CEOs Make 300 Times What Their Workers Make, Most Other Big Companies Aren't As Bad
Barra, Farley and Tavares all made between $21 and $29 million in 2022.
