It matters 0% across the board.

When the union did away with equal pay for equal work they screwed themselves and the membership for head count and dues ( self serving Vs looking long term at whats best for the WORKERS). Paying off union officials helps seal the deal.

Those guys did have nice houses on "reps" pay.

I would LOVE to see the phone calls , emails and text traffic from some IUAW people right now.......... Sounds like the former president was having a home built around black lake. Want to guess who is paying for it~

It's the IUAW staff that is subject of corruption and misusing our dues money, NOT the company. Want to hurt the people responsible, stop sending them dues $$$ and make them go back to the line, or prison.

How about some 2nd tier IUAW reps ?

Crime pays well at certain levels~

The contract typically passes by 51% with few claiming they voted for it. At out plant they use mechanical voting machines to vote for union reps but paper ballots dropped in trash cans then hand counted for contract ratification.

Crime DOES pay at certain levels.

.........he had many years experience as a negligent dope.........

Some 20~30~40 year employees live check to check and will also sign anything for a lump sum payment. These same people eager to get their signing bonus are among the 1st ones to criticize the union for a crappy contract....................I love hypocrisy.

Automation can result in better quality and consistency IF applied / tooled up correctly. It also helps to minimize or eliminate many bad ergo jobs and redundant tasks. The flip side is when you are totally dependent on automation working and a sensor, prox switch , cable or laser goes down. It needs maintained and people that can keep it up and running correctly. Paint finishes is one part of quality where the trained human eye is hard to match or beat, IMHO.

Watch all the people on medical have miracles and come back on active roles before the contract vote.

Google bias? Listen to the clowns running it...............nothing a pink hat and screaming at the sky cant fix. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEj98mdBOBw

Time will tell if it was a good move or bad. Like the auto bail outs that helped our competition or the cash for clunkers where the majority of the money went to Asian automakers. Both a feeble attempt , tax money wasted and did not help Ford Motor Company or the employees. Vox ? If you get your info form Vox it explains a lot........lol

Anti-union? How little you really know. If you like your union feel free be a member, keep paying dues and enjoy. When an organization relies on forced membership to get new members or retain the ones that have is says it all. IMHO the UAW is self serving and protects the total screw up and is only focused on head count and people paying dues.

Remember the IUAW gave themselves a nice raise (at our expense) and I doubt the rank & file will see half of what they gave themselves in our wages or retirement. Life is good at the top.

One of the so called foundations of union wages was equal pay for equal work. That went out the window when 2nd tier workers paid union dues. These lower paid workers are voting on legacy employees retirement, wages, etc. What could go wrong.........

Let the slow kid speak~

Ah, racist..... Is enforcing the laws passed by congress racist? Deporting illegals is not racist, illegal is not a race. A real racist was Robert Byrd , beloved democrat , clan ranking member and recruiter, Want to keep guessing or buy a vowel ?

That's even more pathetic and funny you went with a bigger loser. The up side is a 2nd Clinton will never be impeached.

With all the media and democrats going after president Trump its just not fair* *for all of them and people like you. More people are WORKING Working people pay TAXES. Math, try it sometime!

Mad more people are working or is it the lower taxes? With golf! If president Trump is so bad why is Obama still trying to take credit again again? Face it, democrats would suck brown dental floss for anything close to how the economy is running now. All of it was done with ZERO democrat help or support and not a single dem voted for tax cuts for working people. Sorry your gal lost. Twice.

The UAW / unions each and every time supports ANY democrat candidate year after year. What's the statistical odds on always picking the same parties candidate as the best candidate EVERY election cycle? (ZERO) Its the same people that vote in bad politicians , run the area down then they move away from it but keep voting the same way in the new area and surprised at the results.

Two years of president Trump is FAR better than 8 of Obama , using any metric. Good luck in 2020.
