  1. I'm just adding perspective and passing along facts that can be found on line and in old contract books.

    My pay per hour as GM skilled trades in 2006 was at $34 per hour. Adjusted for inflation that would be $52 per hour today. At my current rate of $37 per hour I have taken a 30% pay cut.

    GM CEO Rick Wagoner was paid $2.2M in 2006, adjusted for inflation that is $3.4M.

    Mary Barra makes $29M. 8.5 times more than the amount adjusted for inflation.

    My hourly pay would be $442 per hour if it was adjusted at the same rate as Barra's.

    GM has cut their hourly US workforce by 70% over the same period of time.

  2. This doesn’t just effect the US. Don’t be greedy. I work more then 60 hours a week so spare me

  3. Whenever I hear the word union, I think of Jimmy Hoffa and the Mob. Watch the big 3 go out of business like Yellow trucking.

(Daniel 9:27 was fulfilled in August 13 2023 also when the woman began travailing in birth in order to fulfill the time of the gentiles for Revelation 12 to be fulfilled, Daniel 12:1 next, three riders were released within 2020 and 2023. These words are true and worthy, he who has ears to hear let him hear.)

    “And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?”

    Gospel of Matthew, chapter 24, verse 3.

    “And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.”

    Bible, Gospel of Luke, chapter 21, verse 8 to 11.

    Gospel of Matthew, chapter 24, verse 8 to 10.

    “And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”

    Gospel of Luke, chapter 21, verse 25 to 28.

    “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”

    Gospel of John, chapter 3, verse 16 to 18.

    “For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.”

    First Corinthians, chapter 15, verse 3 to 6.

    “Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.”

    “But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”

    Second Peter, chapter 3, verse 8.

    “knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.”

    Second Peter, chapter 3, verse 3 to 4.

    “For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.”

    First Thessalonians chapter 5, verse 3.

    “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”

    First Thessalonians, chapter 4, verse 16 to 17.

    “in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”

    First Corinthians, chapter 15, verse 52.

    “I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.”

    Gospel of Luke, chapter 17, verse 34 to 36.

  12. Have some of u LOUD mouths who don't work for the big 3 every consider we build a car EVERY minute that cost between $70k to OVER $100k and we make $0.50/min let that sink in

  13. The union is the problem. I've worked in these factories with unions. All of the workers are lazy, act entitled and do the bare minimum amount of work to stay employed because they know the union has them protected. A company cannot compete when they have to overpay lazy workers!

  14. American cars are junk now, and corporate greed has gotten out of hand. American cars cost too much money nobody can afford it

  15. Bring your plant to Louisiana, we will work with no unions.

  16. Biden doesn't worry about a strike until it happens. What a retard.

  17. $5 raise, lower cost of vehicles… Instruct Dealerships NO MARKET ADJUSTMENTS.
    Long live American Auto Manufacturers

  18. Hopefully they go bankrupt and abolish unions

  19. Dont buy gm, transmission are junk. They are over priced pieces of crap. I know 3 people that have 2021 to 2023 and they are having all types of issues. I used to like gm, iv spent 10 grand in one year fixing transmissions. Trust me. People Fixing to learn the hard way .

  21. Nobody can afford a car you guys aren’t going to get a 40% raise. Biden gave people who don’t work an extra 26% in EBT. If you want more don’t work.

  22. I'm in the UAW but this time the workers are wanting too much' I believe, the big 3 are not gonna pay them for 40 hours of work and there only working 32 and they're not going to start no pension plan again this gonna be a long strike I'll be out of work for a while

  23. !!! The battle cry of the American Communist Movement – “Workers of the world unite and attack anyone more successful than ourselves” all the while wearing and flying the color of the Communist Revolution, Red. As they use violent disruption with their “No justice No peace” until they get what they want.

    "Community" is the battle cry of communists. “Collaborative,” "Equity," “Change,” “Equal Rights,” “Unionize,” “Unity,” “Worker,” “Collective,” "Social justice," “Diversity” and “Worker equity” “solution" are also battle cries and false promises of communists.

  24. These parasitic unions will feed on the host until drained. Then the democrats will reward them. Repeat cycle.
    Never buy ANYTHING that allows scum like these groups in the door.

  25. Let them walk GM is not the only making cars. There are 6 million OTMs waiting for there jobs thanks to there senseless leader Cluless Joe .

  26. GM makes billions in profits. They steal wages. Go Union!

  27. We don’t have a president, we had a mindless idiot wandering around the White House falling down and crapping himself. The only thing Joke Bribem is good at is extortion and thievery.

  28. More government intervention in form of money to the union bosses to suppress the union workers into not striking just like the railroad workers last year. Keep FJB in the states, every time he goes to these meetings he commits more US tax payers money we don’t have. I don’t know why the media doesn’t report and tell FJB he has got us in a 34 trillion dollar debt with NO money available to even pay the interest on the first month coming up.

  29. F the UAW! That's why American cars are so expensive. I hope everyone buys Toyota!

  30. The collapse of America continues

  31. Who cares what a liar thinks?

  32. Well car prices are gonna go up again. Big wigs don't want to pay more to employees and now if they have to its gonna come out of they buyers pocket.

  33. Meanwhile the average American is in financial difficulties to pay for food, rent and essentials. 😮
