  1. I notice the UAW are too big of p_$$ies to allow comments on their page. Imagine that. Nothing but overpaid, worthless f^$%s! I'll never buy a God Damned thing from the idiots.

  2. Thanks to these union workers on strike we can see the billions and trillions of dollars infrastructure money going to corporations in America and that Joe Biden's economy plan increase the profits of corporations but double and triple digits wild evaluating the saving accounts by more than 50% of the working-class the union labor banking savings account and the poor working-class who just became the homeless glass that has doubled under this administration 0:19

  3. This guy is a tool, destroying local businesses

  4. In general Unions making 40$ 50$ 60$ 70$ per hour demanding more outrageous paychecks driving food more and more expensive.

  5. Hire immigrants they wont walk off the job and will work 40 hours or more a week if needed and don't need a Union or Union Dues.

  6. STRIKE FOR THE WIN!

    Here for it ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ

  7. These greedy workers are asking for a 40% raise what a joke.

  8. Hopefully they don't bring the immigrants in to take your jobs. Seems like they are setting up a work force to take over something.

  9. We dont need more junk,shut them down

  10. I'm never going to get my Z06

  11. fork FORD straight Trash

  12. dont buy ford or gm or chyrlser they trash cars

  13. A week of UAW strikes. Should the CEO be sacked now that she's caused more trouble than what large shareholders paid her?

  14. Slowly down production and be resolved faster

  15. US car companies pay ~$65/hr NOW in labor costs while their competitors (Honda/Toyota/VW/BMW/etc.) pay only $50-55/hr – How does the UAW propose to compete after a 40% raise? That famous American "Auto Quality"?

  16. All NY commercial skyscrapers needs be demolished and rebuild new apartments building infrastructure

  17. Electric and Hybrid Vehicles are a lot less labor intensive – The UAW arguing to GUARANTEE jobs makes as much sense as trying to keep the Typewriter Industry in business when computers came along. "EVs require about 40% less labor than making the same number of internal combustion vehicles" [Ford via Business Insider]

  18. Ford played them and they fell for it, Best find another job because robotics and A.i. and the migrants will be the future work force.

  19. Let's hurry up that AI and robotic mfg – 40% wage increase?? These guys are striking every couple years and the wages/benefit pkgs are a major reason why autos are costing more despite labor usually being ~15% of total auto cost.

  20. Buy Toyota. My favorite car line. I have a Sienna and a Highlander.

  21. Fire and replace . Time to put these criminal unions in their place

  22. Makes you wonder how well your vehicle will be put together by someone who is hungry???? Would you want that car ?

  23. Stellantis sounds like a shoddy pill ๐Ÿ’Š

  24. Replace them with robotics. Robots don't strike,get sick or complain. Oh, and these union members donate money to Democrats, who in turn open up borders to illegal immigration, which drives down wages and causes unnecessary competition. And who pays for this? The consumer because to offset the UAW's demands, car costs will go up.
