Let them fold, and let the bastards in the UAW starve.

True to form.
Like he said, why did leadership support the party that pushes these bullshite EV laws and ridiculous CAFE standards that is killing domestic auto industry?

This is insane. Trump was the guy who promised - and delivered - to keep auto manufacturing in the US by putting a wild tariff on foreign made vehicles. And this is their reaction?

I doubt the workers feel the same.

The only guy in the race that has had to learn, all his life, how to work with the toughest Union mfrs in the country, so he can build his business.
He may or not hate unions, but truly understands them better than anyone in the race. May be why their leadership hate him because he would know how to dismantle them if he really wanted to. But he definitely respects the everyday member understanding their purpose.

Indeed.
Americans have priced themselves out of manufacturing.

The leader of the UAW is an avowed communist.
Trump isn't asking the UAW leadership to vote for him. He's asking the membership.
Hell, he said Fain, the head of the UAW, should be kicked out or something similar.

Theyre more loyal to their union than employer.

Union members should be able to vote on who they endorse and the process and results of that vote should be transparent.

Yeah, $60 an hour (counting benefits and bonuses) and guaranteed pension to put the same bolt on a screw for 40 years. Leadership making $500k a year. frick those fricking fricks.

I’m all in favor of no bail outs, but not for punishment. Most of the rank and file are going to support Trump. The leadership is the problem.

That’s why the winds are changing at the worker member level. Our hall can’t tell us “who” to vote for nationally. I’ve seen non union verse union on a job same trade. The non union has 1 guy who speaks English lays out their work and they throw it together. If I did the type of work they did, I’d either be told to redo it because it’s shitty work or laid off and someone else would redo it. More people look at the bottom dollar verse the actual skill in the labor.
If the leadership ignores this administrations attack on American skilled labor, they with the administration has to be replaced.

I don't know about most, but a lot certainly will.
The Teamsters president speaking at the RNC signals what could be the start of a shift.

Most UAW workers will vote for trump. The UAW leadership is mire in the Democratic machine.
Posted on 7/19/24 at 10:43 am to WildVolMick
Like most unions these days the UAW is not for the worker, it is a paycheck skimming operation for the Democrats, and the UAW is even more left than most these days under that new President.
The UAW and other unions should run their business like a business and not put their politics so far forward. Instead, now when Trump wins the UAW and its unionized automaker partners are going to have a rough arse four years. No more government cheese.

This. He clearly said last night the leader should be fired.

This...
When organized crime was pushed out for the most part, the Democratic Party stepped in to fill the void.

The US UAW workers are happy to follow the union and install parts manufactured from their "brothers" in China, Mexico and Canada.
