Time to put the UAW Union in their place

These twinks have the gall to try and demand a $10,000 lump sum payment to each of the 113,000 union workers at Ford, GM, and Chrysler just for renewing their union contracts and agreeing not to strike?  Have they not forgotten that if it wasn't for the US govt bailout they would all be unemployed right now?

I say the Big 3 should tell the UAW to shove it and tell the workers they will only receive $15 per hour for their unskilled labor, with no healthcare or retirement benefits.  And if they dont like it, they can quit and go work some place else.  With a downed economy and over 9% unemployment, this is the perfect chance for the Big 3 to stomp out the UAW disease once and for all.  If the union workers dont agree to the above demands and strike, the Big 3 could easily replace them in a time like this.

Isn't "Union UAW" redundant?

why shouldnt the workers get paid well?  why should all of the profits go to the chairmen and ceo? they dont do the work that makes the money, the employees do

You're clueless.. Get out on your own, get a job, pay taxes then you can spout off. Otherwise, shut your pie hole.

  please, enlighten me, why should the profits from a company not be shared with the people who put in all the work making those profits possible?

they are to be shared with the people who put forth the capital (debt and equity holders) to build the factories and buy the raw materials so that these unskilled laborers can have a job.

do share holders particpate in the labor necessary to produce and make a profit?

[ManBearPig...]

do share holders particpate in the labor necessary to produce and make a profit?

no, they pay for the labor along with the materials necessary to provide the product.

i know you're trolling, you seriously can't be this stupid.

i feel like i type the sentence above about 4 times a week with you.

You don't get it man.  Those union workers are lucky to have a job and they are the prime reason why so many jobs have been outsourced overseas.  Their demands for wages and benefits do not correlate with what they provide - they could all EASILY be replaced within a month.  The fact that they have the gall to demand this after the American public bailed their asses out and saved their pensions is astonishing.  They have no shame and hopefully get owned, but I doubt it.

The profits are shared- It is called salaries, a paycheck.. No one is forced to work there. Gee twist my arm and force me to work there...

He is. And It's quite shocking.

also, before anyone jumps in with "the job description demands high wages", i'd like to remind you that bmw in north carolina makes cars on non-union labor, and i think we can all agree that a bmw is better than a chrysler sebring.

Congratulations, another 15 brainwashed Republicans landed on the same thread.

You have no idea how many people had to get their heads busted in to get unions in this country.

You'll piss it all away, just like your civil liberties, because you swallow everything you hear on hate radio.

You and Rush are the smart ones, everyone else is a dumbass commie right?

Bet you can't wait until tomorrow so right wing radio can tell you what to think after an entire two days off. Probably going through withdrawals already.

How about you go piss on the graves of the soldiers who have defended your freedom with their lives? Rush would probably appreciate that as well, since he has no clue how the military works.

Congratulations to you. To be as smart as you and to have you on this board is a real privilege to the rest of us. Wow...

True - It is everyone else's fault that their lives are so miserable. Everyone but their own.
