September 15, 2023 United Auto Workers go on strike

The United Auto Workers union is on strike against General Motors, Ford and Stellantis, the first time in its history that it has struck all three of America's unionized automakers at the same time.

Yo... this is some low-down dirty shit.

Basically Ford is laying off 600 workers who aren't striking and blaming it on the strike.

But the reality is if they were in the union they would still have a job. These corporations need to be put back in check and if it doesn't happen now we're going to be in for a crazy dystopian corporate-run future.

the first dude put it so succinctly. now if truckers grow some nuts and get down to this degree, of course we'll all suffer, but that's what revolting is all about. the sacrifice. hopefully nobody dies. shout out to all the homeowners that the billionaire class absorbed into their groupthink. talking bout being nutless and selfish! in their hearts they know people can't sustain the payments and hassle of renting but instead they've learned to love being under the wings of their master controls. yeah they kinda like watching their property values go up as they turn their noses up, stepping over the homeless. hey! wine sippers! that pill ain't hard to swallow if you're humane.

one interview a guy was talking about how, what the UAW is demanding and if that were to go through it would put the big 3 in bankruptcy. these asses go to the same bullshit pharmacy or something? these muthafucka's are high as fuck coming up with all these vending machine bullshit ass excuses and they should be called on it.

I don't think what the union wants is insane at all. Wages have been stagnant for decades and the pandemic exposed that people can be just as productive when workers have a better work/life balance.

Let's not forget that the truckers in Canada tried that earlier this year but US unions didn't support them. In fact, is there even a trucker union in the US? If there was and they went on strike that would be Game Over.
 
"CEO-worker pay ratio: 362-to-1" 😒



that phrase is the key to addressing corporate greed

no excuse to be making 350+% of whatever the median worker gets paid within ur own company

instead of min wage increases that cause inflation...........politicians could instead create a law that limits CEO pay to a reasonable ratio

CEOs could still get crazy million dollar paychecks

but at least the lowest paid workers could also make 6 figure paychecks as well



but Dems and Repubs both been playing us this whole time SMH

Fam not doing this for any reason but to add to your point.

362 to 1 isnt even 362%.

Its actually 36,000%. Thats how crazy its got.

For every dollar the median employee earns, the CEO earns $360 dollars.

So if the average employe makes $70,000 then the CEO on average makes 70,000 × 362 = 25,000,000.

CEOs aint even smart or do a lot of work. No need to earn 36,000% more than the average.

After mass exodus and retirements in the NYPD ,Right now the NYPD is doing a pilot program in The Bronx of 3 days of work and 3 days off or 4 days of work and 2 days after a quality of life initiative that emerged from recent contract negotiations with the Police Benevolent Association ( Union ).

Everyone in America is pushing and should be pushing for a shorter work week , regardless of what sector of the economy you work in. This rat race has been going on for long enough. It’s time to bring the 5 day work week and 2 days off schedule to an end !

shit like this always reminds me of that one meme where these politicians and ceos are playing chess atop of working class people. The whole game stops when everyone stands up.

Right now the folks who run the company I work at want to do away with remote working for no real reason and I seen this happening in other places. They claim remote working is hurting productivity when thats the furthest thing from the truth and theres actual data to back that up.

The pandemic really changed the game when it comes to the "traditional" corporate work structure. When everything stopped people who only knew getting up and going to work, rinse recycle repeat for 5 days a week got a chance to be still and be present. REALLY seeing shit for what it is and always been. These big companies and CEOS been trying to kill the American working class for years and doing everything in their power to circumvent the inevitable.

The people are gettin screwed by both of them either way.

The greed in this country alone has gotten worse. These CEO's are literally sayin "How dare you ask for fair wages/benefits for the work you do??" Stop complaining and continue working long hours so you can pay for my lavish lifestyle. Until the America people focus their attention at the true culprits...nothin is gonna change.

love how everybody has responded.
let's be reminded how we're taught algebra, trigonometry, coding and all of those "way out there" maths and sciences, but when it comes to being taught the stock market, they purposely kept us out that simple game because if we all knew ...... we've got to get on the ball with this shit. scientists can't even do their shit because they don't have the money. ain't that a bitch!?
MOB (money over bitches) but, KOM (knowledge over money) history don't reflect on the millionaires and trillionaires unless they are thieves.

The sentiment in brother Akmed's interview here is relevant to the UAW's strike. The people are fed up and pretty soon may get tired of "asking" for what should be theirs.
