I want American voters to suffer in time for the election.

Both Michigan’s Gov.Whitmer and Biden have tried to take credit for settling strikes to get the spotlight publicity for their careers.

Greedy groups battling each other is part of the game.

Lay all of them off. LOL. Let the state’s unemployment insurance take the hit. Not that Unions really care if an entire industry collapses. It’s about union power. All casualties are acceptable collateral damage, as far as they are concerned.

This is just American decline.

All the leadership in every institution, with much of the population urging them on.

The unions have always demanded their members vote Democrat. Now they see how the democrats have given them high inflation and the need of a strike for more pay. Yet those same democrats have flooded the country with illegal aliens ready to take those jobs the strikers left behind.

labor unions cause increases in unemployment by striking to raise money wage rates

Argument 1

Evidence:

In 2008, the United Auto Workers union went on strike against General Motors. The strike lasted for 40 days and resulted in the loss of 20,000 jobs.

In 2012, the American Airlines pilots union went on strike against the airline. The strike lasted for 11 days and resulted in the loss of 10,000 jobs.

Reason: Strikes can disrupt production and lead to job losses.

Warrant: Disruptions to production can lead to a decrease in demand for goods and services, which can lead to a decrease in the demand for labor.

Claim: Labor unions can cause increases in unemployment by striking.

Argument 2

Evidence: A 2013 study by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that a 10% increase in unionization rates leads to a 0.5% increase in unemployment rates.

A 2016 study by the Cato Institute found that unionized workers earn 13.2% more than non-unionized workers, but that this wage premium comes at a cost of 1.2% fewer jobs.

Reason: Higher wages can make it more expensive for employers to hire workers, which can lead to job losses.

Warrant: When the cost of labor increases, employers may hire fewer workers.

Claim: Labor unions can cause increases in unemployment by demanding higher wages.

Conclusion: Labor unions can cause increases in unemployment by striking and by demanding higher wages.

UAW is desperately trying to hold onto the past while the liberals and the Biden Administration are trying to transition to EV’s. The move to EV’s will decimate the UAW.
