    Just a reminderv that their demands include a 20% raise over 5 years.

    You know - slower than the rise in cost of living.

      Are you sure that is correct? Last I read the union demands went down from 46% to 36% over 4 years, and the auto industry offered 20%.

    Am I stupid? This adds up to 96%. It can’t be a rounding error since it’s more than 3% off.

    When there’s article after article about how the common man can’t afford normal shit anymore, about how CEOs are taking in ridiculous cash hauls, about how these companies are just posting quarter after quarter of record profits, you start to think: what the fuck. Let the workers enjoy the rising tide too motherfuckers.

    If you don’t throw em a bone they’ll bite your nuts off after a while.

    If Fox News ran the same poll, it would be 75% in favour of auto companies.

    Don’t underestimate the media’s ability to push a narrative, because I think if 75% of Americans were pro union, the Republican and Democrat Parties would be finished.

      I don’t think 75% are pro-union, but a large number are pretty resentful about the current cost of vehicles.

      If I’m forced to pay extra for a car, I’d want to know that the extra was going to the factory workers instead of their bottom line.
