Car industry is dying anyway, get what you can while there’s still time left.
Ford workers get up to $40.00+ per hour guess they can pay for the $20.00 an hour French fry burners.
This is going to price unionized vehicles out of the market. It’s also coming at the same time that manufacturers are being forced to make costly transitions to building electric vehicles. A loser all-around and debacle for the domestic automotive industry.
Bought my last(I do mean last) vehicle in 2011. 🏎️😬
I can’t believe dealers are still doing the mark-ups.
I bought in 2021 when the markups were starting to ramp up. Found a dealer with no markup but had to pay retail.
My son had to pay a markup in 2022.
The surrender monkeys at their finest...
Those come with factory installed rust. Keep that in check and it’ll last a while. Heck my daily right now is an 03 Cadillac Escalade with 321,000 mi on it.
Good for them!!! Hope they enjoy the extra cash for the next year or two after which the layoffs come because no one will pay $60k for a Ford Focus.
Screw GM and unions.
Less?
gotta sell a few cars to make all that happen....
Not to worry; the Unions know they will get bailed-out by Taxpayers, as always, to keep the money-laundering to politicians in constant flow. Unions are for those who can't work for a living, and get protected status for sitting on their asses; that's what drove manufacturing off-shore, and drove government hiring to sky-high wage meaningless/un-productive jobs (for relatives and friends), via AFSME, SEIU, NEA, etc. I don't know how many government-dependent parasites we can afford to support, but they just borrow to pay them, and send you the bill...........I'll never by another Big-3 vehicle in my lifetime, for sure.
I've already been there for about 20 or so years. Cafe standards, along with the labor unions destroyed the American auto industry.
It’s also worth noting that many states make it illegal to permanently fire striking workers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It’s federal law. The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) governs how employers may treat employees who are involved in protected labor activities. The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has interpreted this federal law as protecting the right of employees to strike and prohibiting employers from terminating workers for exercising that right.
So, as in damn near every business, the increased costs get passed on to the customers, with an additional increase to massage the investors.
Anyone know what’s in their new contracts concerning staff cuts and automation and robots taking jobs.
These guys already made as much or more than some master degreed professionals
Did they get their 32hr work week?
If you buy it in the next few months.
Probably they got pretty much everything else. It won’t be hard to find much less expensive labor. I heat that sucking sound again.
Well, the majority shareholder of GM is the Shanghai Motor Company. A company in bed with the Chinese Communist Party.
Every time you buy a GM you give money to the CCP
Just as has been planned by the WEF.
Only because we allow it.
