UAW attempts to take over VW again in Tennessee

I think there will always be a call for premium, scab built vehicles, regardless of what you think.

94% of the country is Non Union, and we'll still be looking for the non-union label.

While us americans look for the made in the usa.

Non Union Toyota cars are built in the USA.

And I think there will always be high quality Scab vehicles built in this country.

Yep. I'd rather pay more to ensure working folk bring home more.

No way can you ensure that at all.

If they are union members, they have to pay dues as well as go on strike for low picket pay when the union boss orders it.

Good for you. Keep buying cheap Chinese made shit, at the expense of Americas workers.

Your non union stance is why there is a rust belt, and why the middleclass in America has been destroyed in the last 40 years.

It takes a real genius to make sure Elon Musk can buy another yacht, while the average American can't afford the things they need because of cheap labor, and companies that hire illegals.

Fortunately, Joe Biden has now put into place the tools that the younger generations trying to get ahead, can start to see working their favor. The days of having to be the "right kind of guy" to get the job are over. Which is good for the Progressive cause, and bad for the conservative cause.

Boomers will be the last generation of ass lickers in order to keep a job. I can see why the younger generations are waiting for us to die off. I don't them.

There's nothing worse, or more pathetic than an ass licking true believer.

So be it. Why work for a much lower wage?

 

[San Souci]

Yes, this is the power of the union.

If you are doing a manual labor, repetitive job there is little skill involved and you have no power on your own. Auto workers are a dime a dozen and individually they have no power at all. That is why a union is perfect for them.

Communism. Maybe they should go to a Trade School and learn a SKILL. It is a matter of Personal Responsibility.

Fuck you people are stupid.

First off, most trades have unions.

Second, even though you look down your little hook billed nose at them, we need people to do manual labor. We need people to build cars so that you can drive them.

I am all for anyone getting paid as much as they can, I know I do all I can to ensure that happens for me.

And that is the point. If one chooses to be an unskilled drudge ,that is a personal choice. But that kind of Labor will soon be done by Robots. Time to get skilled. As Individuals. NOT a goddam Collective.

 

[westwall]

No they'll be here in 2024.
You'll be in 1955 looking for mob bosses to support.

The mob bosses ARE the union bosses.

Tell that to all the Stellantis drones that just got fired.

Yeppers, going on strike was so effective for them.

Fuck you leftists are stupid. Price your unskilled labor too high and you get to hit the bricks as robots take over.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

And that is the point. If one chooses to be an unskilled drudge ,that is a personal choice.

As is joining a union. Yet you whine like a 3 year old about that.

But that kind of Labor will soon be done by Robots.

Most of it that can be already is. You people whine about jobs lost to China but most were lost to automation, not offshoring.

Time to get skilled.

There will always be those that are less skilled than others. It is the nature of life.

What is it you do again?

That's totally false. The offshoring occurred under Clinton. Long before automation reared its ugly head.

Automation is replacing more workers than outsourcing, study says - Marketplace

As automation threatens workers, new and better jobs could be created if we invest in breakthrough technologies.

But, it is funny as fuck that you think there was no automation in the 90s. I appreciate the laugh this morning.

The 1980s into the 1990s saw one of the most significant leaps forward within the history of automation in manufacturing. The ability to fit more transistors onto smaller semiconductor chips accelerated microprocessor capabilities, and the introduction of computing power into the factory revolutionized management structure at every level of operation, from the assembly line to office administration.

Typical leftist response. Unions have killed more jobs in the USA than the Chinese even.

John McPhee wrote an excellent book about the destruction of the US Maritime industry. Mostly at the hands of the Union that rose wages so high that the shipping firms were forced to go overseas.

So, where the US had hundreds of steamship companies in the 1940's, by the 1980s that number was reduced to 3.

And now there is only one. Mattson. Yes, their employees make good money. But THOUSANDS of jobs were lost as the US fleet moved to other countries where the Unions didn't control things.

That is the net result of uncontrolled unions. A very small number of people get to make good money. The rest starve.

A friend in California is an apprentice lineman. Union of course. And his hall has two books. Book one numbers about 60 guys. They get 90 percent of the work. Book 2 has hundreds of guys on them. They get about 2 jobs a year.

He is well liked by the foremen, so he is on Book one. That's how the game works.

Oh boy, one industry. The offshoring of the US Steel industry happened under Clinton, dummy. As did the majority of other manufacturing. You pont to a single industry, yet ignore all the rest.

Typical leftist.

 

[ActionJackson]

Entitled Socialists have a lust for MORE, not realizing that their quest for MORE will usually garner a net total of LESS. An endless cycle of insanity that reflects the incredible workings of the Socialist's infected pea-brain.

Give me the data, not just empty words.

Had you read the link, and not just the headline you would know they are not talking about just one industry.

Find something made in the USA other than cars and weaponry.

Go.
