The strikers are on the SUV line - and currently there is a 57 day supply ... So sit with POPCORN - nobody is sweating this out ... Spoiled Union workers pay ONLY 4% of their healthcare - while average Americans WITH employer benefit pay 25% "What are you helping with all this helping?" Buddhist saying |

User ID: 77999575 United States 09/16/2019 08:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In related news reports confirm that GM build quality spiked today. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 61780440 That's a big no shitter. Back about 2004 the heater hose on the intake of my 79 GMC Yukon blew off at 70 mph. Managed to limp to an auto parts store. A plastic clip held the hose on. 100,000 miles, just broke in engine. Boke a piston rod 2 weeks later AFTER blowing head gaskets with the 2 second decompression and over heating. Like it was an intentionally designed failure. I've got a '76 GMC pickup, I'll keep it but you would have a tough time giving me another, newer GMC or Chevy product. Fuckers.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 76509910 United States 09/16/2019 08:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Not even sure I understand who they are striking against. It's not the autoworkers striking as they crossed the picket lines but it's the janitors union who actually work for Aramark and not GM as they contract janitorial services to Aramark. They already have a pretty good deal and a rather good offer was made but turned down. The workers want guaranteed raises and GM wants the raises tied to profits. Seems like they could meet in the middle on that one. Great health care which they only pay 3% of and they want more vacation time. |

Quoting: DEPLORABLE Lady Jayne Smith Guess the unions didn't learn shit the first time around. I dont know what their complaining about. most of them are unskilled line workers making 35 bucks an hr.. I know in ontario my buddy was making 120k a year but he was a skilled trade.. Where’s your gripe about the higher ups making millions a year? Moron Hey there Mr. Greedy Union Boss. How about the crapload you make?

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76509910 It looks like the retards are going along with the game. When its whites they make it real. When its invader mutts, they just keep paying them and have them be strike actors. Never worry about coloreds. Gov always has back screen and unseen benefits, like every month is their birthday. Lettuce pickers got a pimp car and "unlimited" food stamp benefits "Science without religion is lame; religion without science is blind" Covid, fake riots, communist organizers - keep your powder dry America.

Nice job reminding GM of a big reason why they exported jobs in the first place. Quoting: DEPLORABLE Lady Jayne Smith Guess the unions didn't learn shit the first time around. Ya' gotta' love the audacity! On the news when they reported that the workers were striking for better wages and health care, they immediately followed up by stating the payscale of these poor unfortunates ranges from $42,000-99,000 per year. But, they still can't seem to manage their money, or their lives? The cars they drive can't be the reason, since GM gives hefty employee discounts to the people on the lines that build them.... unless they don't trust their own work! I love it when douche bags complain about the corporations making money hand over fist and curtailing tax laws, then also complaining about fair wages.... but when an established union has succeeded in garnering safe work practices and fair wages, they’re all of a sudden evil. Morons Unions are not needed for "safe work practices and fair wages", those days are long gone. Unions now a days are just Gangs of Extortionists! Try working with one, they are worse than the Mafia. This comes from experience. You must be scab Look at the cawk on that dawg Education is a process,not a result |

IMO unions suck. They force you to pay dues with our usually small paychecks. Someone gets rich off of this which is why the Feds raided those UAW homes. |
