JTN: The United Auto Workers union on Monday announced that it had expanded its ongoing strike to include the Sterling Heights Assembly Plant, which belongs to Stellantis.
The manufacturer, formerly known as Chrysler, has been the least willing to work with the striking auto workers among the Detroit Three, Politico reported. The walkout at the plant brings the total number of striking workers up to 40,000.
Initially, the UAW began its efforts with targeted strikes at key facilities belonging to Stellantis, Ford, and General Motors, but has gradually expanded the strike to additional locations in the face of unpalatable offers from the companies.
Stellantis, for its part, expressed frustration at the walkout, saying it had not received a counter-offer since its last overture to the union on Thursday. more here
Marxism at its finest; the workers will not be happy until they control the means of production. Then the peoples companies will go bankrupt.
Fuck all of them with dynamite. They are all useless, lazy, whiny scum.
I had to look up Stellantis.
Remember when Mercedes-Benz owned Chrysler? I guess they saw the light.
Meanwhile, Korean & Japanese manufacturers thrive, including their American workforce. And if UAW workers are throwing bolts into the cars they make, why in the world would I support them with my purchase?
Help me to understand. When auto workers are on strike, can they cross the picket lines to act in WhorelyWood?
Let’s see. The UAW financed and voted for Biden. Biden destroyed our economy, caused record inflation. And now the UAW is whining because costs have skyrocketed? Effem.
Wylie1^^^^same ol, same ol
You can change the name but its
Still a Chrysler Piece of Shit!
Quit putting crap on vehicle’s that I neither want or need.
They’re pretty good now on the power train side. It’s all the electronic crap that causes the problems. Cost me over 10 bucks the other day for a marker light bulb.
UAW benefits add thousands of dollars to the price of every car they build. The last car I bought from the Big 3 was a used ’92 Saturn.
The unions want more because of record profits. On the surface, this sounds reasonable. But will they take less when profits are down? Not a chance. If their hourly wage worked both ways I might actually be OK with this. But they unilaterally want wages to go up no matter what. Screw them.
Wild Bill Nailed it!
I think Cynic nailed it as well…
I haven’t bought a new vehicle from the big 3 in over 24 years. I have had used pickups for me and the wife has 4 new European made cars.
