Shawn Fain leader of auto workers union a Bernie Sanders follower and socialist democrat so called fighter for the working man and don't forget against the rich made so much last year he is in the top 5% of earners in the U S .I know he works so hard putting non union people out of work he deserves it.

If you put monthly dues into a mutual fund every month for thirty years on an 8% return, that's a lot of money a member is giving away for the right to work in that union. No thanks. I'll keep that money for myself and work non union........it's a facade that any person or party is for the working man. We've had both in office over the years and we are worse off today than ever. Wake up people.......ps. I was a teamster in my younger years.

It’s a good gig if you can get it.

Are you breaking over 100k a year ? Have better health insurance and retirement than everyone else you know?
Well I do. Been over 100 since the first week of Oct could have been in Sept. Enjoying some of my 4 weeks paid vacation now.

Those dues are a less than a tank of gas. As far as investing if you make enough you can max out your 401 and I enjoy that 6% match as well. It's a good gig. I can't find anything as close and have been looking 6 years so I can not have to be 127 miles from home to work.

Socialist leaders in real life are exactly like the pigs in George Orwell's "Animal Farm.

Union - like joining the mob

That union wants less work for its members.

Unions = corruption.

That union wants 40% raise and a 32 hour week.

If they get that trucks will be 150k or more!!

I am, and normally don't work more than 40 hours a week. Non union.
I know you've been looking for something closer to home, and I remember you almost took one but it didn't pencil out for you. Keep looking, eventually the right opportunity will come along, and it may not be a union job when it does.

Trap dog I have worked both union and non union jobs in my life. Both have their individual issues and each job or business does as well. I would take any job union or non it it penciled out and got me home daily. But it looms like most likely i will end up quitring working days off. Only working doubles (16hrs) on days I work. That will have me working 5 months a year( 14 out of 28 scedual and 4 weeks vacation) and would give me mid 80s and continuing to build pension, and keep my good benefits and will still make 30k more than most of the jobs i have been offered around home.
I do have to say my benefits pay and conditions have generally been better on my union jobs.

Benefits are a plus 9 weeks paid vacation, pension , 401k and quarterly bonuses, bonuses and 401 k are not contractual they are extra perks from the company.

The ford plant that makes the f150 is on strike and that's there right but in a few days people that aren't in the union that work jobs as support will be put out of work so these crybabies can get there demands .Does that seem right?

Talked to providence farm who makes the sheet aluminum that feeds are can plants business is way down , also bottle plants are idle do to the stupid tranny bs ABinbev pulled in April that doesn’t seem right either

Yep, our money making 24 7 lines have had all ot cut out and some reduced to 32 hr weeks at my plant. It's a direct result of inbev Trans promotion killing their sales. So sells are down, don't need as many cans, orders get canceled, my plants volume drops off millions of pounds. Hundreds in my plant get their hours cut, trucking gets reduced comming and going to my plant, all of our suppliers get cuts and that's just my plant. All because of management poor decisions at one of our big customer plants.

Yes, the cry baby unions are the devil. O wait thar was a bunch of woke management pushing an agenda.

Yet those same unions endorse the left wing political loonies PUSHING the woke agenda, same as Larry Fink, etc, forcing management to endorse same agenda to maintain political favor, financial incentives, ESG scores, etc


Funny how that works, ain't it?

Tesla’s giga press is literally crushing the traditional automakers,literally.

Those high paying auto jobs are going to be gone soon

The union is shooting itself in the foot
