What happens to auto supply is this strike goes on, she asks.
Why not ask what happens to ppl/workers/communities if the pay gap continues.

Any company that tries to union bust should be legally required to convert into a cooperative too. Solidarity. Unionize the restaurant industry and retail too etc.

NAFTA actually allowed many of those companies to build certain car models in Mexico with no levies or customs tax 😅
Have a look at Ford in Mexico.

Support for the workers!
We need a general strike until wages increase for all workers not just executives

The union should strike all over closed everything down and show America who's got power back into 1980s the union used to have a lot of power all companies should be unionized women should go after Home Depot Lowe's Menards Union should be all over especially Walmart treated unfairly you need to go for McDonald's other restaurants Union needs to wake up and become more powerful than before what happened I remember when my father used to be in the union is job with protected and they cared about the employees then the union was bought out by the companies they would sell out Virginia should not be able to sell out they need to stick by their employees and fight for their rights

CEO pay largest carmakers GM $29M, Ford $21M, Honda: $2.3M, Nissan $4.5M, Toyota: $6.7M. GM CEO sounded indignant about how much she makes! $26M more than Honda’s CEO and Honda reinvested in the company also!

Low workers' productivity, but demanding higher pay....absurd!

“Make sure quality is right”. Gimme a break.. I’m sure the workers out there do do but the engineers and the vendors for the parts make this mfg one of the worst in the business.

Nothing like handing the foreign car companies the key to the city.

[jakejimstone]

Great for Tesla. They will be the big auto maker soon. Maybe now. I would be worried if Amazon employees went on strike.

Union slackers demanding a 40% pay raise and a 4 day work week. Fire them and hire non-union immigrants who will thankfully accept the job.

UAW are the "ima take my ball and go home" type of people

[walterorr]

They wont need all of you to build electric vehicles

Even if you don't work in Auto GO ON STRIKE! Talk with your Co workers and organize. It helps everyone.

Now you can be a streetwalker. Or a Nike messenger if that is your footwear😊

Good, I’m tired of seeing American citizens being taken advantage.

[blokin]

American industrialisation failure in a nutshell.😁 Can't compete internationally with hugely overpaid workers.

[kennethmeeker]

Can’t afford new vehicles anyway shut it down 🤷‍♂️

More companies will move to right to work state. Toyota will be laughing.
