#Union #Auto #Strike
Four large GM plants closed during the trump regime in 2019. Including the huge Lordstown Assembly plant in Ohio.
Biden presided over three of four worst bank failures in U.S. history.
What does that have to do with anything?
Because Trump wouldn’t pay bribes to unions.
Yep, thanks for watching.
I worked at a casino once. I was in the UAW. Never understood that.
They are the same.
I have a federal job, the union people last week forced us to sit through a recruiting presentation. I asked if they would pay us if we got furloughed. Man it got weird in that room suddenly. LOL
Dont need a union anymore to build cars. Just ask honda in ohio and toyota in kentucky and bmw in south carolina. This isnt 1924 anymore
Lol. So those companies only pay $12 an hour and you’re proud about it? Congrats?
Good point.
Get the teamsters president to help, he done a great job for UPS but not Yellow teamsters. He acted like a elementary kid.
THE CEOS NEED TO PAY
Why? Dont they get 2 checks a month by him already ? Bum mentally always wanting more and not wanting to work smarter for it
Don’t like the job get a new one bums stop crying some people still have rent to pay and chidren to take care of
American workers are sick and tired of being taken advantage of by rich, greedy corporations.
@Bob these people are 7-11 workers for the most part making 40 plus per hr. such a joke
@Sterling Lowery If inflation is so high, how are all these companies making record profits? 😕
@Chill Will Most of the “inflation” is corporate greed, but that’s what happens when you vote for deregulating corporations, tax loop holes for the rich and corporations, lower corporate tax rates while increasing taxes on the middle class, i.e. trumpism. You can’t control them because these same workers are voting for an anti-union anti-worker party that wants to cut the federal education budget by 40%, cut social security and medicare for millennials who have already paid into the system, ect. How does the working class support the republican party? Oh yea, stopping trans genders is more important than having a roof over you head and food on the table apparently.
Answer. By just raising their prices for what their selling@Chill Will
Yep everyone is replaceable with other 8 billion people in this world now.@Xxxxx
Auto companies should just hire new people. Then these greedy workers will appreciate their $60-$100 hourly jobs
You think these people on assembly lines make $60-$100/hour? 🤣🤣 Have you ever even worked a factory job?
@Multiple Sources of Income Obviously those people aren’t working at their factory jobs, my F150 seems like it was assembled by drunken penguins with bad eyesight, unbelievable the defects it left the factory with.
I bet more than 80% of these people didn’t even ask for a raise.
@Fixedguitar Can he do any worse of a job than a UAW monkey?
@Fixedguitar dude 100 years of evolution and inovation have created the simplest most fool proof assembly process ever. Your qualifications are 1 a high school diploma or ged and 2 a heartbeat. Same as mcdonalds or walmart. It would take longer to train people to stock shelves than assemble cars lol. Yet you demand the pay of nurses and engineers.
@Fixedguitar i do understand what you are saying. However you dont understand there are many many skilled trades that are far hotter colder dirtier more physical more mental more bs and those people make far less than you. The other end of that is the educated. Nurses engineers . Uaw should not be making anywhere near what nurses make. The tiers deal is insane. Nobody that just started any job should make as much as a 30 year veteran makes. Insane demands , insane. That sort of thing kills companies.
@M Awell everyone honestly needs a pay raise. If you were making 20 an hour 4 years ago you have to make 30 today just to stay even any less and your working for less. Inflation sucks prices always go up but rarely go down. America’s money just isn’t worth what it once was.
@Cry Havoc higher pay equals higher inflation. Its a vicious circle. You cant pay your way out of inflation.
The only thing that works is lowering inflation. Btw all of this is because of lockdowns and the green new deal. Getting back to America first instead of America last is the only thing that will keep the USA from becoming venezuela.
If biden gets another term we are all going to be starving. Well all but the elites like politicians ceos and union presidents.
Yet median price for a vehicle remains out of sight.
What do you think it will be if they get A 40% pay increase.
@Bob even worse that’s my point and we continue to bail out these greedy companies.
@Lazarus BJJ But I’m sure you’re okay with Joe Biden and his family, receiving millions of dollars from Ukraine, Russia and China.
😭😂💀 Ford and GM PRODUCTS ARE TRASH!! No way yall getting more money I’m sorry
How about everyone just go on strike….let see what happens….
Exactly. The same with not buying gasoline for a few days. The Power is within The People. It’s always been with The People.
Union would run out of strike pay fast.
Biden made the situation wotse.
Biden makes everything worse.
Lockdowns and the geeen agenda caused all of this. All of this is because of the biden regime. I find it more than strange that fain would praise resident biden instead of speaking the truth. Fain is also an installed woke puppet. This entire scam is going to end badly for the USA.
So trump didn’t holding a rally with non union scabs?
General Strike! For fair pay, for climate justice, for human rights! People of the world unite!
UAW Is going to strike themselves out of a job. If no one buys what they build cause you can’t get parts in reasonable time what’s their use
fire them all. there would be 1000K plus applicants the next day
@Ruskies Suck a vast majority of these jobs are not mcdonald’s type flipping burgers jobs. the training involved to bring in 1000 new workers would likely be far more devastating than rewarding workers for making COE’s and shareholders millions.
Shawn for president! ❤
Ford should bill the UAW for all of it’s massive rework and warranty costs over the last 8 years. My 3 year old F150 is a rolling defect.
Yup, Chevy with their trash transmissions as well. Too bad a class action lawsuit didn’t take as it’s a known problem around 100k. There’s a number of automakers that are non union. Guessing maybe if these higher wages = more big 3 car prices then maybe there will be a buyout and then see what happens? McDonalds and a number of others employees don’t fare too well when automation is cheaper than the money employees are demanding.
@Digging_In Fat dumb and lazy, Unions can’t compete with actual workers so Democrats buy their votes.
I drive Nissan pickup nonunion build runs great no issues 240,000 miles don’t even use oil
This the first time I’ve even seen Fain on Tv, even tho I’m sure he has. The car companies are being ridiculous. Workers took cuts to save them in 2009 crash.
OMFG they wouldn’t have JOBS if they didn’t take cuts, how many “cuts” did the stockholders who got robbed take, how many “cuts” did taxpayers take? UAW came out of TARP with 40% ownership of GM. I mean, how can you even be this ignorant?
The US taxpayers bailed them out last time.
American greed ,they are going to just more to mexico at this rate 😂
Yes all contracts and negotiations are having to be redone for the contemporary world with AI
THE JIG IS UP!
Shut down those states and send those jobs to Tx 😁
Americans don’t want electric!
Says who fox news?
Those who went on strike certainly are not going to be payed no more. That’s how it works with most jobs in America, you don’t work, you don’t get paid.
they have a strike fund for $500/week; not much but not sure why you decided you needed to define the word strike for people. Everyone knows the company isn’t gonna pay you for not working.

venturing into the trading world without the of a professional trader and expecting profits is like turning water into wine her skills set is exceptional

blessing to me and my family
I just looked up her name online. she is licensed with credible certificates and has an amazing track record.

Unions screwing themselves and the workers
If they do get a 40% raise at ford I’m going back to work for them for sure.
the Average F150 is now going for over $80,000. What working man can afford that? I get the frustration, but the problem is that we’ve had high inflation fueled by corporate greed, and if everyone makes a living wage, then no one makes a living wage. The economy is set up to have a large under class of poorly educated cheap workers that the rich exploit. It’s a problem, but that’s reality.
If they don’t want those high paying jobs, give them to people that need them desperately to Afford these outrageous food prices for their families.
Maybe if people boycotted U.S. auto companies and didn’t buy Union made cars the price would go down.
Luddites clinging to their analog fantasies of a bygone era while crying into a warm beer and consoling each other down at the “local” instead of breaking free from the clutches of the socialists and the siren song of solidarity just thinking about these buck toothed sheeplike losers makes me want to hurl …
Yup. .
They are stuck in the communist 40s
Quality? Down. Prices? Higher. Yep.
So prices will just go up even more. How long for next bailout?
When the nearly 500,000 work visa recipients that Biden approved in one day come for your job maybe then the unions and democrats will get the message
Orchestrated collapse
CEOs lying again and again.
funny how no videos of the Big Auto Makers laying off employees show up in my search on youtube.
If they all go out on strike the Union will run out of strike pay. I think these people should be glad they have a job. There are a whole Lotta immigrants looking for a Job and will work hard.
