  1. Big mistake. We’re global. Everything is global competition. The USA just took a back seat to all their competitors. Bye bye GM crap boxes. 😂

  2. If your company is unable to pay its workers, a fair and livable wage, or perhaps your company shouldn’t exist in something you’re doing is wrong.

  3. No one wins..the price of cars and parts will go up. So who really wins…who lose in this.

  4. Unions have destroyed American companies.

  5. They should close their doors.the workers are selfish. The economy is not good.

  6. Automakers built an overstock of 20% of vehicles in anticipation. I anticipate never buying a new car again and never one of the big three autos. AI will replace 30% of these jobs in the next 10 years and another 30% of work will be shipped overseas.

  7. $500 a week to not work ? Ahahahwh

  8. But Biden said they wouldn't strike..

  9. Ford just got 8 billion from the government to help with Ev… don’t think they mentioned that

  10. I saw the reason straight away, and its not the mouses fault, there was not one sign that said mice stay away please,
    The other option is to round them all up and put them out to pasture making sure there is water available, it would be a whole new export market, they have got to be worth a few bob by the ton?

  11. Go on strike who cares.bunch of babys.over paid lazy .hire non union ,see better workers

  12. I hope all these union workers lose their jobs. There are thousands and thousands that will gladly take these higher than average paying jobs. Just don’t do business with unions anymore.

  13. They can replace these workers in a minute. I believe that’s the idea

  14. I don’t know what these line workers get paid right now, But I’ll guess it’s a good wage. Especially when you’re sporting that ged and still take smoke breaks.

  15. Will this effect the production of new auto parts ? Or just new vehicles ?

  16. I don’t want to strike but I will if I have to

  17. Biden tried to speak with them. Can he still comprehend what a strike is? How exactly will he help the situation because he forgets where he is half the time.

  18. dude makes $21 million a year and blames the workers?? dear god in heaven.

  19. what is the problem with treating working people fairly?

  20. MSNBC Still making no mention of executive pay in any of their reports
    MSNBC, a union busting, Non-Union company? 🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙
    Who would have figured CEO/Exec pay hikes were so well supported by the "supposed liberal news channel"?

  21. I’ll keep my 82 Chevy truck it runs perfect

  22. Just wait the days of physical dealerships are soon to be a thing of the past, unfortunately

  23. You crafted a message favorable to the auto companies. How many UAW adverts have you seen on NBC affiliate stations, or NBC O/O stations lately? None, or at least not many. But you saw a lot of GM adverts on those same channels. And the GM CEO says '…we'll go bankrupt in a couple of years'. No, us taxpayers will bail you out.

  24. Replace them with Bots

  25. #csu need to pay these people fare wages

  26. Strikes are bad for business so give the people what they need so they can live

  27. Biden: what does the U stand for 😅😅

  28. Remember when people could afford new cars an trucks it’s sad. Pay the workers give them what the want. When it doesn’t work out it will collapse.

  29. I will take a buy out of 250000 Tx😁

  30. They tricked dealers into buying a bunch of vehicles that they won't be able to get rid of. I must say bravo to the manufacturers and UAW for pulling this off. 😁👏👏👏👏

  31. UAW has lost there minds, keep asking and you will be out of a job! Can’t read and write but want $100,000 a year!

  32. When you question these GMs and CEOs, ask them their pay and bonuses over the last three years. I doubt there paycheck to paycheck

  33. “We have not heard back”

    Guess you should have been serious back in July when you were handed the demands

  34. Every car lot is full there fightn tuff battle.

  35. I build Jeeps my dad built jeeps and his dad built Jeeps… In solidarity local 12.
