“So why not the workers?” Re: a 40% raise. Sure, I agree in principle, and I really wish the CEOs didn’t get that raise. It was selfish and stupid for that to happen. I just don’t know if the financials can handle a 40% raise for everyone. The economy and auto demand might be different next year.
You’re the one who said “bosses” you dunce.
Jfc, lol. You’re the coward, sitting on the bandwagon while I stand alone in this forum and ask questions, which in your closed-minded view just makes people an enemy (bigot). What if questions helped workers or even bosses to realize something and led to a breakthrough in negotiations? Not in your sad, simpy world.
Do you even know the composition of shareholders? How many of them are retail or middle-class investors. What proportion? Or did you not look into that? Do you not realize that? Makes sense you’d have a low-IQ though, Mr. BIGOT.
P.S. I know I said I wouldn’t engage with your dark cesspool of a brain anymore but I couldn’t help set you straight. Blocked.
Who’s the billionaire? Which of the automaker CEOs? Where did that come from? Also take the CEO pay and split it with all the workers. Not much of a pay bump at all I bet.
You are a bigot, plain and simple. You are strongly prejudiced towards ideas, other opinions, or a person or group of people that simply have questions about this. I work at a diner that serves a lot of these workers and we are worried. The plant closes, we lose a lot of business. I’ll be sure to share your closed-minded views with my colleagues who have the same questions.
Instead of linking some cringe cartoon, look at a dictionary. I’m done engaging with your toxic vitriol. Improve your life or go away.
Still wrong. You’re bigot, and the world needs less of you.
I agree and am trying, but I am being inundated with name-calling and foul language. I’m just one person.
You can do that, and you will still look like a close-minded individual that suppresses diversity of thought. You are kind of what’s wrong with society right now, actually, and the world would be much better off without you.
If you split the CEO’s wages with all employees, there is no way anyone is getting anywhere near that much of a bump in pay.
Also, the benefits include retirement pensions. You can pay rent and buy bread with that money, I’m pretty sure.
I’ll tone police you as much as I please if you’re disrepectful, honey. You lump everyone with the enemy if they provide different perspectives? I make a small fraction of what these workers make and I simply have questions. That makes me the enemy? What a close-minded view of the world you have. What if plants close and people make $0/hour? Because people listened to those like you who stifle diversity of thought?
Thanks for that info on $47/hour. That makes $103 in benefits.
Now, how much of that is retirement plans and pensions? Make sure you tell the workers they can’t use that money for rent though, like you suggested.
Why are you so rude? Be civil and have a discussion.
Now, what is the new hourly wage component of that $150/hr. You must know, right?
Sure, they may have made those promises but the bottom line is the botton line. They can’t just summon cash. Sure, cut the CEO pay and pay them more, but the future is a few more years than the pandemic lasted.
You equate past performance with future sustainability? Just stop.

If they make $60/hr with benefits and it goes to $150/hr with benefits, how much of that increase is benefits?
“The automakers have said the UAW demands could hike the current mid-$60-per-hour labor cost to more than $150 an hour.”
Maybe. They are making $60/hr now including benefits. If they increase it to $150/hr, I’m not sure how much of that increase is benefits:
“The automakers have said the UAW demands could hike the current mid-$60-per-hour labor cost to more than $150 an hour.”
Cut the CEO’s pay, but that wasn’t my point.
“The automakers have said the UAW demands could hike the current mid-$60-per-hour labor cost to more than $150 an hour.”
Wow, right out of the gates with the insults. You sound like a sociopath. I’m just providing some context I read:
“The automakers have said the UAW demands could hike the current mid-$60-per-hour labor cost to more than $150 an hour.”

I’m not complaining about it. I’m providing some context.
You sound like you’re whining more than anyone.
“The automakers have said the UAW demands could hike the current mid-$60-per-hour labor cost to more than $150 an hour.”
Nope, I didn’t. Do a little research before opening your mouth:
“The automakers have said the UAW demands could hike the current mid-$60-per-hour labor cost to more than $150 an hour.”
I’ve gotten a lot of namecalling and foul language directed at me.
