GM / UAW Strike Might Significantly Impact National Jobless Claims Report Due In November

The impact of the national United Auto Workers strike against General Motors Co. is extending far beyond Michigan and the automaker, hitting multiple states and multiple companies forced to lay off thousands of employees.

As 46,000 GM employees prepare to spend a fourth week walking picket lines outside of 55 GM U.S. facilities in 19 states, thousands of laid-off employees not on strike but impacted by it are waiting at home for a call to return to work. It's not yet clear when those calls might come.

Why idiots who abandon their jobs, should be included in the roles of legitimately unemployed is only a typical Gubment way of counting... stupid... like the idiots who've abandoned their jobs... and the DemJerk-O-Rats..

Republicans, or as they're currently known "traitors to America" show everybody how really stupid they are. Of course they're stupid, that's why they support a traitorous trump.

If they did not work in the period in question, they will not be counted as employed. Since striking workers as a rule are not looking for an alternative job they will also not be counted as unemployed.

An interesting instance of this occurred in 1983. Con-servatives love to credit Ronald Reagan with creating over 1 million jobs in a single month. But the truth is that this number was grossly impacted by 700,000 communications workers going back to work at the end of a strike.

Oh look, mdarringer used one of his sock puppet names to respond like an inarticulate and uneducated moron and he used the rest of his coterie of screen names to downrate the facts about labor statistics and trumpbots. Pathetic child.
