I doubt these companies will cave in to a 40% raise. They're just going to uproot those plants and move them to Mexico.

The car manufacturers would have to pay tariffs on all those cars imported from Mexico. A certain percentage of the vehicle has to me assembled here to bypass tariffs.

If it was that easy to build shyt in Mexico they would've done it a long time ago. Poor quality just being one of the issues.

Pretty historic. Biden has had union support for 50 years now and has been the most pro union President in the last 80 years but I still wonder how many of these guys will turn right around and vote for Trump. :mjlol:

Most pro-Union President???
:mjlol:

:huhldup:
Dude never met a bad trade deal he didn't support. That shipped millions of jobs overseas.

Auto industry is pissed about this btw. Been hearing about it. I've had a couple meetings and heard the finance side of this and they aren't happy about Biden putting his foot on the scales in favor of the unions. I expect a deal to happen, and while I don't think the union will get everything they want (they won't lol) it'll be a substantial agreement.

The union will eventually get a good deal. Typically the union leaders go to the table with massive packages knowing that it will be narrowed down after negotiations. In the end they get what they want.
The greedy corporation will pay up. They have to be forced to do the right thing, unfortunately this is the only antidote for greedy capitalists...UNIONIZATION.

My shyt still sitting at 3000 status because of this chump. :snoop:

Whenever you do get the car breh, go over EVERYTHING with that car with a fine tooth comb. When you work invehicle assembly, and you haven't done it in awhile due to a workplace injury, strike, etc, you get rusty if you haven't done it for awhile and you tend to not follow standardized work and put stuff together in a rush in order to not fall behind since the line keeps moving (which is going to apply to a bunch of these vehicles that are going to be put together after this strike gets settled, whenever that is).

To put it in perspective: at a Toyota plant, a new vehicle is rolling off the assembly line after paint (which is the longest part of the assembly process) every 60-70 seconds.
