It's a 40% increase total for the life of the contract which is 4 years from what I understand we got 26% total increase over 4 years with our new contract that doesn't even cover cost of living increase. The media makes it sound like they get 40% when the contract is signed. If I had to guess they want a 32hr week so anything over that is OT plus perks for weekend pay

Hell most jobs are lucky to get a 5% raise a year. Don’t piss down my back and tell me it’s raining.

People get paid exactly what they deserve. Must be nice to have a gang going to bat for you. It’s all about running business away from the states the way I see it. Too many hoops to jump through and that’s the way they want it

It doesn’t matter one lick what the company makes other than that means it’s able to make money for its shareholders and stay in business. 40% over 4 yrs is ridiculous. Pay for a job should be dependent on the education, skills and complexity of the job being performed. If nobody within a 100 mile area can do what you do, you can and should be paid a premium. If any monkey off the street can be trained to do your job, it is menial and shouldn’t pay much more than minimum wage. You can have someone trained to perform probably 75% of those union jobs in less than a month and that means the pay rate for that position dang sure shouldn’t be $25-$40/ hr. If these workers are so special and have such a great skill set, that it commands that kind of pay, it should be super easy to jump to another manufacturing facility in another industry at the top of the food chain and take someone else’s position and do a better job. Never happens. Why? Because most UAW workers are a coddled bunch of easily replaceable, worthless prima Dona’s that are used to working in a spotless environment, air conditioning and with 3 guys doing the work that 1 man should do. None of them wouldn’t survive a day in the field working in a mill, laying pipe or concrete, roofing, framing houses, a welding shop, a body shop or a mechanics shop. They are already overpaid for the value of job they perform. Those are just the facts. Boom! ABolt nailed it. Drop the 🎤 Yes he did I hate complacency and that appears to fester This says it all . Any monkey can be trained to the same job over an over on assembly line . We are living a me,me,me society. I don’t want the mob go to bat for me.

If the union jobs are so good then get one. whose complaining about the fast food workers pay going up 100% in three years, they are not union and many aren’t worth their pay. Last time I checked everything went up double in price in the last few years. Be happy that they have a chance at getting 10% a year to only halfway catch up. Iam not pro union but they serve a purpose, just like short sellers in the stock market, they help balance things.
