re: So how much do new car prices increase after the UAW gets its new contract?

They were offered 20% and said no. They also just finished getting a graduated pay raise from the 2019 strike. This is 100% a response to the UPS pay increase and the Union wanting a similar cut to what the UPS reps are getting. Line workers make 40-70k on their current contract. Not amazing, but for the areas these plants are, that's pretty good pay. They want a 40% pay raise, and OT pay to begin after 32 hours. They want the pay scale to be 57-102k So actual increase for payroll would be ~70% or 40%, but a 20% reduction in manned hours. This isn't "pEoPLe HaTE woRKeRs" It's absolutely asinine and could absolutely lead to even more manufacturing for US companies to go overseas.

It absolutely could lead to more jobs going overseas. The demands seem insane. I am not a UAW member so I would not know but on the surface of things They seem insane. Looks like management has its work cut out for them. No one is holding a gun to their head, they can counter, they can tell them to pound sand, they can move overseas, they can close their doors all the way around. It is a matter of record what the Big 3 make...how their workers live is anecdotal at best.

More and more “American” cars are being made in Mexico. This will just increase the rate of vehicles being made there.

So the management at the Big 3 are guilty of not serving shareholder's best interest. If they can move production to Mexico to avoid higher labor costs why haven't they moved to Mexico to avoid current labor costs? They are, if this is true, guilty of exceedingly poor judgement at best if not guilty of failing their fiduciary duty to protecting the interests of shareholders. Ask a shareholder where their interests lie and corporate profitability will no doubt be at the top of most lists....

Production costs have no bearing on the price of apples, pizzas, fire wood or new cars. Supply and demand sets prices.

Wow.

You’re legit retarded.

So the average conservative has a better idea of what is best for UPS than UPS management. Interesting concept....

You’re saying a large increase in cost to one of the largest shipping providers in the US won’t result in added inflation? Terrible grasp of basic economics.

Wow.

You’re legit retarded.

Yep, he sure is.

Prices already went up without anybody getting a raise.

---

link to no one getting raises at these companies over the past few years...

Price increase also coincides with the increase in the cost of gas and push for more evs.

Also these companies were taking huge losses in 2020.

Lack of supply and record low interest rates didn’t help either.

These demands from UAW will likely kill off one of the American automakers

I hope it does. Not killoff permanently. But shut a plant or two down and have it re-open as a non-union facility.

That's the only way to teach unions they can't continue this entitled bullying.

And what about state and fed govt employees, teachers, custodians, auto shop techs, grocery store clerks, first responders, private sector non union manufacturing jobs, or anyone not in a union? We'd all like raises to keep up with inflation. Instead we're seeing COL increases frozen, bonuses cut, and scraping by on existing salaries for 2 years now while prices soar.

What if we walk off the job demanding a 40% raise?
Our boss goes "bye bye"

And how many of you realize that in some states striking workers can collect unemployment on TOP of strike pay from their unions? That's entitlement and greed at its finest.
