All the big 3 have signaled they will move more production off shore by 2028 because of the union. Business sense.


Why not move everything to the South? You may still pay more than Mexico but it may be an issue finding skilled workers in another country.

When the union thing went down last year, I was dreaming that once the deal was done, the Big 3 would announce that they plan to move all operations to the South. It would be bold but it would work, and I can imagine the above average union worker would give the UAW the bird in a heartbeat in order to keep their career. I was in a union as it required me to join in order to get the job and it was horrible. Many of us (the valuable workers) wished the company we worked for would go private.

I don't really understand why they don't just tell the union " when the contract is over, no more union" and tell employees "you can stay if you want, here's the pay and benefits, or you can leave and we will replace you". Why negotiate with the union at all?

Have you met some of these people? It’s like that last cigarette. They know it’s bad but they can’t let go.
