Strike Deadline At Ford And Votes For Strikes At Stellantis By UAW

[@jerrycrane6830]

Nailed it. While the union workers are admiring the historic new contract, they are missing the fact that the majority of them will lose their jobs in the next few years. It is an old magic ruse, keep the audience busy watching the shiny object while you do whatever you need to do to execute the trick. The union should have tied Sean Fain's compensation to the number of workers employed.

[@Ozzypup1]

All of these people are going to end up with no jobs in the long run.

[@VS-rh3gu]

Auto workers need to reinvent themselves and take control or YOUR LIFE! Find other ways to earn a living and quit acting like these companies "owe" them something. Everyone has to find their space and if one job ends, find another, people do this everyday. This UAW entitlement that they are OWED this and that... no go back to school, sell your boat, move to a non union transplant company... labor/legacy costs have just about wiped out American Vehicle Mfg. No other company producing in the US has these issues.. and their employees DO NOT want the UAW. (Still dont buy VW employees want the union)

How can anyone support a grown adult to represent them who wears a t-shirt supporting Kamal Harris?

[@alwayspushing2031]

You sound like the guy here in Michigan who couldn't get elected in a warehouse of 100 people for any union job, but who also makes cute videos. Anyways, you're only getting fed bits and pieces on the Ford issues, yep I work at that complex, because it is not a tool and die "plant". Keep in mind the membership thought doing direct elections was a way to clean up the house, how is that working out, buckle up it's going to get worse.

[@erictate8986]

All these automotive industries need to start building better products with Quality , Stop outsourcing their parts !! But this is what Happens when you have a bad UAW President as Shawn Fain That's just worry about lining his pockets , on that part !!! So better wake up UAW'S now !!!!!

[@idigbebop]

It's not cost of labor, it's the healthcare costs. Canadian companies don't have to provide healthcare and pharmacy. Mexico provides nothing. So workers get nothing.

[@ericfriedle456]

Canadians still pay for it through taxes. The companies pay the government just as the company here in the us pay a company for it. Just smoke and mirror

[@Saladandchops]

Thank you Sean Fien. Comeuppance

[@4dscdriver]

I don't see a strike as harming stellantis right now. I think it benefits them since they have so much unsold inventory.

[@LeaveChildrenAlone]

Not just that but they negotiated in bad faith knowing they were going to cut jobs and probably sell.

[@garrettsmith2654]

I wouldn't be surprised if the UAW collapses one day. It could be happening already. Stellantis says it didn't do anything wrong with its part of the contract. If the UAW continues to strike, Stellantis could move Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram out of America. And they can do it with a snap of the finger. All Carlos has to do is say "We are leaving America, and we're taking Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram with us." And there's nothing the UAW can do about it. Especially if Stellantis wants to put EV products in this country, and ship ICE production to these lower cost countries, and sell them to those countries, too. It feels like to me that we have no choice but to live with the EV future, and it's a future that we don't want, but it's falling on deaf ears.

[@goofball69]

Stellantis can (and probably will) take CDJR out of the us. The problem at that point is CDJR only have value as "American" brands. Take that away, and it destroys those brands. Stellantis and its Italian investors might be all right with that, but it's an awful waste. I agree that the UAW plays a large part in this story, but it's still an awful waste for everybody involved.

[@garrettsmith2654]

@@goofball69 I agree. I think Sean Fain isn't helping the situation, either. He talks a big game, but Carlos won't back down without a fight.

The importance of the big 3 auto companies has diminished greatly over the years. Feel bad for the workers but not UAW.

[@lozada1971]

They probably win but the cost will be the same, massive layoffs in the US and more production moving overseas.

[@MrStlvette]

Well said TK. These jobs will never come back. We are just consumers, the US doesn’t make much anymore sadly 😢.

[@Crawlspeedgames]

When i heard about the f150 i was really upset and sad because were a low income family and my dad has been an handyman for 45 years and 78-87k for a pickup truck is fckin crazy we don’t want any of special bs the expensive dash and cameras on the truck we just want a bed on the truck and a trailer man and it hard to see dodge go down but also they did this to themselves in some ways

[@peerjoos4277]

Dear TK, in a previous video you asked the question how Chinese automakers could build cars (not only EVs) for much less. Never heard about a Chinese Workers Union. Over all, it seems to me that this whole mess is some sort of 'Malaise Era 2.0' except now it's not Japan anymore but China.

[@ryanside9117]

This is true but sad. No one should support a slave market work force tho or try to imitate how their workforce is.

[@horseathalt7308]

Japanese car manufacturing has always had unionized labor forces.

[@ChoneyNation]

Am I surprised? No, but what did the union and its members expect? They struck last year and massive pay raises and now no one is buying because interest rates are up and so are the price of new vehicles. When a new middle of the road 3/4 ton truck runs you $80k-$90k and then the manufacturer moves production to a country with cheaper labor rates again I ask what did everyone expect.

[@cecil5152]

EVERYONE expected this, EXCEPT UAW workers.

[@fredEVOIX]

you take the wrong conclusions it's not being paid a fair wage that increased car prices, it's greed the xplosion of useless very expensive middle management that do nothing the ceo bonuses that cumulate to more than the company yearly profits....toxic leeches destroying companies from the inside AND very importantly the zero emission racket that's destroying the car industry on purpose they want us to go back to european medieval times we become farmers/slaves again living on a "Lord's" land and working for them only for food and roof peasants don't need vehicles they don't need to move around they only need to work

[@settledontheprairie5524]

Parts supplies for existing vehicles is what will crush the economy when nobody can get repairs and recalls done. Last year, when UAW workers were on strike, I hit a deer 🦌 and waited months to get my Ram pickup fixed due to unavailability of parts. Thankfully, it was drivable, so was only a minor annoyance.

[@michaelcoonce6694]

Do the unions not understand if products are not selling or way overstock production cuts have to happen

[@matthewgibbs6886]

[@Tonywhitelavender]

What are the six loopholes in the contract?

[@aureasha]

If workers keep threatening strikes and actually participating this will only accelerate the transition to ev's and automation with AI. This will not end well for the auto workers and the union. They flew to close to the sun and got burned with their new contract, when it comes to dollars the company will always answer to shareholders over the workers as they should because that is their duty.

[@waywardwest]

They could make nothing but EVs tomorrow and it wouldn't do a damn thing when no one buys them. The government can say whatever they want. People don't want EVs. It's just that simple.

What is the purpose of a labor contract if it isn't to describe pay, work conditions, and the responsibility of both labor and management. Why wouldn't the UAW go to court if management is breaking the contract. I assume the strike would be illegal if the UAW is breaking the contract. This really shouldn't be a situation of he said you said.

[@MichaelDozier-j1b]

Several lawsuits have been filed against Stellantis...assume will take years to work their way thru the system. Meanwhile Stellantis will do whatever they deem best for Stellantis.....ie move US jobs overseas.

Good idea - strike as the economy continues to crater and American car companies have months of inventory out there. Hope you enjoy being broke for the holidays and then having to come groveling back - probably with a pay cut and hours cut.

[@JamieFalcao-sp1bs]

TK here is my take. Automation was already happening prior to evs. Even without evs automation is eliminating jobs. Further to this the jobs are always the easiest ones to go first and the higher the wages the more it makes automation worthwhile. Evs are the future, ice leaving is not the issue, this is short term thinking....if we are to be 100% evs by 2035 and I believe it will happen...both gas stations and mechanics will not be needed as much. Evs have less parts and less things to breakdown we will need less of everything to support. I also feel for auto workers as this is a dying field...get into a trade would be my message.

[@horseathalt7308]

No way EV is the future, too many problems with practicality and cost.

[@JamieFalcao-sp1bs]

@@horseathalt7308 today you are correct. Tomorrow is still to be written. Battery already going on third generation solid state which will get you 600 miles easily with the same battery as today. Less parts and long term will be cheaper. Already day to day coat of operation is cheaper. Gov'ts around the world are committed to ending ice vehicles by 2035. I advise everyone to lease right now as the tech is changing rapidly and like a tv, as tech changes the old tech will be worthless. The Chinese already have cost parity with ice....Tesla is already in 50% cheaper than the cars it launched just 5 years ago. The amount of investment is crazy right now....
