These companies have been doing so good lately with everyone only wanting trucks and SUV’s as there is insane markup on those types of vehicles. The companies can afford to pass along some of those profits to their workers.
Trucks and SUVs are popular. But people do want economy cars-- they’ve just stopped selling them. These larger vehicles classify as light trucks and don’t have the same fuel economy and emissions regulations as reasonably-sized cars. It’s a big scam.
People don’t want domestic economy cars. People who like domestic brands want trucks and SUV’s. People who want economy cars will pretty much only look at Honda/Toyota and both those manufacturers still make economy vehicles.
I have never once seen someone online recommend a ford focus or Chevy cruze to anyone. It’s always a carolla/Camry or civic/accord.
I really thought as a kid that a good quarter for a company meant a good quarter for its employees.
Seems like it they’re that valuable, they deserve a raise and better benefits.
I hope basically everyone goes on strike. The workers don’t even need to have any grievances, I just think it would be cool.
GM got 47 billion dollars via the stock swap and never repaid it.
So a 100 day strike should roughly cover that.
Looks like
meatinvoluntary profit sharing is back on the menu, boys!
Seriously, I’m a Capitalist (and a Classical Liberal) but why do these articles always talk about how much a labor action is going to cost a company but they never talk about how much the ongoing actions of the company have cost labor?
That would defeat the purpose of stoking fear.
