It is management’s duty to keep the company financially strong and efficient due to challenges coming over from either a slow down, chinese competition and Tesla’s cheap cars. UAW got enormous raises and they will keep getting more and more in future. Engineering is paying for UAWs exorbitant salaries. UAW is a political tool and our politicians forced OEMs to pay. Tesla and other companies don’t have UAW. There is no premium to go to engineering school anymore for 70% of the engineers as they stay engineers for their life term. Silicon Valley companies outsource their entire products to third world countries and they don’t have to deal with UAWs or have politicians make their policies a lot. So Washington will need to bail out OEMs again as ultimately s h i t is going to hit the fan eventually.

I can't wait for the layoffs to start. I am going to sit back and laugh as the auto unions greed and laziness finally catches up with them. lolololololololololololololol
Unions have a contract to insure what was agreed to is followed. You know who else has a contract? SLT. Their golden parachutes guarantee huge sums even if they are total failures. You know who doesn’t have a contract and can be laid off, salary reduced, benefits reduced and rules changed on the whim of management? You.
SLT doesn’t want salary workers to have a contract, they want total control over them to do as they please. It is up to you to decide if that is a agreement you want to make.

2500 uaw employees at Stellantis were just let go. No monkeying around? Sure Jan.
Management has no Union protection and get disposed of easily with no recourse. But Union employees have lay off rules,severence etc. in stone within contracts. No monkeying around with Unions. Management needs to have their own Union so they have a fair chance.
Yeah… “ Unions prevent alot of theft of benefits and income from common workers ” 🤣😂Are you Serious??😂The UAW has documented history of BEING the thieves: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/31/business/uaw-autoworkers-union-corruption.html

The college boys never like it when anybody gets ahead who never went to college.
Unions are the backbone of any good business. They promote safety and fair treatment for all not just the executives. Unions prevent alot of theft of benefits and income from common workers that maybe promoted by management. Unions make salaried employees mad because they have a college degree but could not figure out the simple things like you must be Union in order to gain respect and be paid and treated fairly.
Unionized companies will lose the competition. Just wait for another market crash, bankruptcy and new, renamed, company with a ban on unions.
UAW is a political tool and corporate governance is a political tool and guess what… they’re both aligned toward the same agenda which works against the rank and file workers, both unionized and non.
Been waiting on this post. Not a surprise with the OP pinning the blame partially on the UAW. They have their benefits and definitely are a political tool. But I would think making $9-12B it wouldn’t hurt them.
