Priorities. Maybe some c-suite execs don’t need to earn $21 million in a single year while their average employee earns $75,000.

That is not what I said. Read again.

They are set to lose $4.5B this year. Which only makes it harder to meet the proposed pension obligations as I originally stated.

$29M……and $9.8M of which is cash comp….and about $2M of which is actual guaranteed salary. You know what that $29M means to each GM employee? $.08/hour. If you pay her nothing and distribute her compensation to each employee equally, they get a whopping $.08 raise. Imagine what it would look like if you simply took what she actually gets as a salary.

work 32 get paid for 40 is what they want correct?
No.


God damn you’re legit retarded.

They want a reduction in hours to 32 hours a week. And they want a pay increase.

That would be paying them more money for less work.

Bless her heart. She thinks with her heart and not her head. It is a trait amongst the left when you are spending other people's money.

I mean. She is technically right. Just not in the way she wants to be.

She’s right that they don’t want to work for 32 hours and get paid for 40.

They want to work for 32 hours and get paid for working MORE than 40 hours.

I fricking hate imbecile pinkos with zero understanding of financial literacy

I understand that. However, what will happen is they will realize that production is lagging. Therefore, they will need them to work that 5th day or more and pay them overtime.

You (or whoever it was that posed the question of people wanting to be paid for 40 hours while working 32) didn’t say they wanted to be paid more for less work. You were specific about them wanting to be paid for working 40 hours without working 40 hours. That’s not what they want.

They want a higher wage and a shorter work week.


Who doesn’t want the same thing? What kind of masochists want to work more for less money? Oh, right. The geniuses on this board.

Seems like a lot of jealousy is the main reason people don't want this. Ford had a net profit over last 4 quarters around 4 billion dollars over last 4 quarters....I'm pretty sure they can afford it....

And when they don't? You realize the last 4 years are not the norm, right?

this is a press release on ford for 2023.......Why not ask for the raise now? sounds like things are looking up and they've found this type or raise elsewhere in the company too..... also it's a negotiation, didn't trump teach yall how those work? you never ask for what you'll settle for.... ask for all of it plus some and then work backwards

I have already said give them a 5-6%/year raise over the next 4 years. Pensions are a no go.

Works out to $156/yr per employee. Or about $0.08/hr on a 40 hour workweek.

Let's see how long Ford lasts without a CEO but paying workers an extra $0.08/hr.

I don’t think that’s the case. My opinion is it’s stupid because I know the end customer will eat all these costs. Vehicles that are overpriced will eventually be even more overpriced.

Ha, quite the opposite. I’m bitter about paying high school dropout 3-time-divorcee retards six figures for a job that office people are literally…literally… trained to do in a day. As in, guess who runs the plant when the union tards walk out?

Their argument is essentially “If I can’t have a pension, no one can!”

Wouldn’t it make more sense to invest half of that to pay out future pensions?

I doubt any of the workers want to work less. They probably just want overtime to kick in after 32 hours. So they probably want an hourly increase and then want their premium pay calculated differently.
