The $500 strike pay was increased by membership vote from $300 last year at the constitutional convention. President Fain does not have the power to unilaterally change the strike pay. 4 weeks of Vacation is not obtained until you reach 20 yrs of seniority. Most get 40-100 hrs and 40 of that is dictated by the company to use during shutdown time. All salary paid to UAW executives are voted on by membership delegates at convention.

Right... the CEO's deserve to have millions of dollars and we should not whine about going check to check to feed our families. Much of what you say should start with "potentially....."

For starters, I’ve been on the picket line since day one. SHAWN Fain is not getting a Rich while I starve. None of us are starving having to make economic adjustments in our everyday lives. That’s what people do in a situation like this and there is the option of getting a thing called a job in the meantime. So unless you’ve actually worked on an assembly line in a factory, you really don’t know what you’re talking about. Ask TPT who’s been there for eight years trying to get the full pay scale with Benefits. what it’s like to get to the finish line only to find out, they moved the finish line further away , and in some cases taking years sonority away along with his or her pay. Ask TPT how they feel.

The UAW got zilch...zero...NO Cost of living, No pensions... They went BACKWARDS in their inflation-adjusted earnings for 15 YEARS while the auto execs got 40 percent raises. This is just an attempt to divide the workers. The workers are standing strong.

Shawn Fain is saving the middle class! His bargaining skills gave us the right to strike plant closures and got cola back.

Have the CEOs gave back their bonuses yet to help with the cause🤨 Middle class workers need to stand together to help companies understand to share the wealth.😮

@Pro 1 er. First off UAW wages only represent about 10 % of the cost of a new car. Second im not sure why the education level bothers you. If you have ever been in a assembly plant for very long you would understand why they have to pay those workers that much. Those jobs are mind numbing and the pay is the only why the auto companies can keep a steady work force. Now before you say there are thousands of people that would do that job for less your wrong! Out of thousands of people that start working those jobs vary few stay around. The cost of constant employee turn over and lack of productivity would devastate the industry much faster than the wages. Now I agree not all of the demand are logical but from a negotiation stand point you have to start high and settle somewhere in the middle. As an engineer for one of these companies for the last 26 years I can tell you there are no CEO's that are worth 30 million dollars a year. Just as you think UAW wages are out of line so are the upper managements. So you blaming the UAW wages as your justification to buy a foreign car doesn't really hold alot of water. Just admit you wanted that vehicle. Its your money you can spend it as you wish.

Has the union achieved most of its goals? Yes, but let's consider what those goals were. We aimed for gains, yet the current deal only recovers what we lost, excluding retirement security. Personally, I'm fine without a pension after a decade in, but healthcare is crucial. Our bodies endure a lot, and post-career injuries linger. Now, on the topic of EV plants, these "joint ventures" were a ploy to avoid union work. If we don't fight for this leverage now, it'll be tougher later. They claim jobs won't vanish with the EV shift, but they contradicted this months ago. Planning for 5 to 10 years is okay for them, but when the union plans ahead, suddenly it's an issue. These companies talk about money troubles, yet you won't grasp the waste in the plants until you work there. Business isn't meant to be gentle, but merely catching up to what we lost without meeting inflation is unacceptable. In this country, the middle class isn't the average person; it's the 7 to 8 figure earners. We just want a comfortable life without relying on exhausting hours to support ourselves and our families.

@@tezo46 The inherent known factor that cannot be overstated enough is that "The Big 3" simply do not exist anymore. Their dwindling market share, stock values, etc.. is proof positive. This notion that they "must nurture, foster and continue to support a middle class" is an antiquated view. They simply can NOT afford to be that "generous" any longer. You'll recall Sears, for decades, employed a fulltime "adult contingent" w/excellent wage packages. Then, incrementally, year after year, their market share, power, profits eroded away. To survive they had to REPLACE fulltime employes with part-timers w/o benefits. Obviously, this saved millions but ultimately proved to be a short-term fix. That scenario is analogous to the current state of the "Big 3." They are UNDER NO OBLIGATION to maintain ANY "class;" they simply don't care. TO SURVIVE, they must CONSTANTLY find ways to generate positive cash flows (which includes EV plants with fewer non-UAW personal). Their recent record profits are a result of a confluence of extraordinary factors but are NOT sustainable. FOR DECADES, those with just HS/GED educations have been VERY fortunate earning "six figures" while working "on the line." While "all other companies" paid salaries BASED ON SKILL. Finding employment elsewhere with a HS/GED that rivals wage & benefit packages currently being rejected will be a daunting task.
