Record Profits, Record Plant Closures, Record Layoffs - UAW Tires Of The Detroit 3 Raking In The Riches At Their Expense

Record Profits, Record Plant Closures, Record Layoffs - UAW Tires Of The Detroit 3 Raking In The Riches At Their Expense
UAW President Gary Jones on Monday delivered a strongly worded message to Ford Motor Co. to kick off contract negotiations: Times have been good, and the companies must pay up.

The message portends contentious talks as the union and Detroit 3 negotiate over wages, health care benefits, manufacturing investment and other topics. The union, Jones said Monday, will demand more for its workers despite calls from the automakers for flexibility as an economic downturn potentially looms.

There are no historinics MD. The US is the only country in the top 20 economies in the world where companies do not have to offer a retirement program, do not have universal healthcare. Workers in the US work more hours per year than any in the top 20 again, yet we have the worst distribution of wealth in the industrialized nations. And Grand Wizard tRump want to eliminate the remaining benefits of the ACA and give even more tax breaks to the top one percent. Sad.

By the way, Grand Wizard tRump will lose in a landslide. Even Rupert Murdoch said GWt is an idiot for not trying to broaden his base. His racist rants and childish behavior is driving away middle of the road people that took a chance on him. That is why is is encouraging foreign to once again interfer in our elections on his behalf.

Its the loonies on the left who will guarantee his election...free health care for all, open boarders, unbridled tax and spend, etc etc Would you take the locks off the doors to your home, leave them open, let anyone from anywhere occupy your home and diminish your savings and your kids future to pay for their health care, their education, their food, their phone and resist all law enforcement agencies from arresting them if they commit a crime. Of course you wouldn't, so why try to run the country that way!

Everytime people ask for a more equitable system, republicans call it class warfare. yet, the ditribution of wealth in the US is the most skewed toward the top 1 percent than at anytime since the 1920s. 1920s, rings a bell.
tRump and his fellow fascists talk populist to "fire up the base" then take away their health care, retirement, competitive wages while giving trillions of dollars in taxt breaks to the top 2 percent.
The UAW is not then only problem with US automakers. Decisions enad execution at the top have hurt more. i.e. - Aztek.

they are employees not partners. they are not entitled to anything other than their negotiated compensation. when they owners lose money do the employees give back any of this compensation? no they do not. ron gettelfinger or wtf his name was made 300k per year. how much work did he do? he got flushed with the ceos of the car companies when the government called bullshit and took over the company management when they came begging for a bailout. unions are good for two things and two things only. siphoning money from a brainless membership and killing companies.

Gee, fascists, other countries are very successful and everyone participates. Taxes are lower now than they were under Clinton, a far more succesful candidate.
Also, he had a surplus. Grand Wizard tRump has balloned the deficit during a strong economy - unheard of and more evidence od how incompetent tRump and his Repubifascists enablers are.
I love and UNDERSTAND America more than any trump supporter. He believes he is king. First president to do away with the weekly press briefing becasue people challenged him and he is not capable of being challenged - too stupid. Read the cables from foreign diplomats.
When private bone-spurs -no-balls decided to pull out of Syria he sent a god-damned tweet. Our military, our allies who depend on our transport were caught completely by surprise! He should have notified our militry learders, then our ambassadors so it cn be coordinated. He is not running a failed NY real estate business he inherited anymore. It is a 20 trillion dollar econmy. He is woefully incompetent and is violating every norm that has made US the envy of the world. He will leave a mess for the next president to clean up.

hey queerty, the US was great until two years ago. Now we are the laughingstock of the world. A president who governs with tweets, does not believe in a free press - only press that praises (probably due to not enough hugs from daddy and alcoholism), is easily manipulated by Putin and Kim, whose trade policy is tariffs which will bring on a recession. Yea, the US is losing credibility in the world due to the obese one.

By the way for all the tRump supporters, "distribution of wealth" is a technical to describe how fair and equitable an economy is. History will show that societies were all the wealth is concentrated at the top eventually fail. ie. - 1929, the Great Depression. It was in all the papers. Or perhaps the crime ridden stable countries like Mexico and Guatemala or any number of African dictatorships where the top 0.2 percent have all the wealth and 50 percent live in poverty. I don't believe the founding fathers had this in mind.

Pugproud, Grand Wizard Trump (GWT) is definitely an alcoholic. It is often genetic. I have seen it up close and his constant unhinged rants every morning are hangover rants. It is not as though he has not lied about hundreds of other things.
And he was too stupid to understand to understand what Putin when he was giving GWT his talking points about the end of Western Liberal Liberalism. he thought GWT was talking about California. What a retard!
And if you guys claim you like the US so much, how are you okay with GWT ignoring the constitution? Three co-equal branches provide oversite. GWT is ignoring this. IF obama had ignored the republican house you guys would have called for his head.
No, GWT is favored by people with no real power, no understanding of history and who think rage is a governing method.

UAW needs to be revamped. You shouldn't scrap a system that protects the workers, checks and balances is what makes our Country the greatest Country on earth. When there's corruption, use the system to institute change.

Pay attention, asshole. It's the Far Left people here who are ranting 24-7.

The UAW does not protect workers. It rapes workers through forced dues and funnels that money to the Democrats.

Unions formed when there were no legal protections for workers, but now with those laws in the books with dry ink, unions serve no purpose other than money grabbing.

No worker should be forced to belong to the union.

No union should be allowed to do any political action.

You know it always brings me down
'Cause it's free and I see that it's me

To the shadows of the night
No sign of the mornin' comin'

A rainbow in the dark

Do they ever let you go?
