Help me understand, companies make money and the employees want more. OK. If the companies lose money, do the employees give it back?
Sure, of course.
LOL
Yes, Dave. Employees have far more at risk when a company loses money… They get laid off, or their plants closed and they’re moved to a worse location.
The company loses money, the shareholder loses his extra vacation, the employee loses his house.
The union isn’t negotiating in their best interest if they contribute to the downturn
of their employer and the economy.
What is “insulting” about GM’s offer? Nothing. They’re offering wage increases and $16,000 in bonuses. It’s only “insulting” if you’re asking for a 46 percent pay hike and you want to work LESS hours to earn it. Of course, the UAW president is the same guy, who is perfectly willing to sit back and continue collecting his paycheck while telling his “brothers and sisters” to strike and compromise the financial well-being of their families.
Strike against all three automakers starting next week, strike fund will run out in 90 days, just in time for Christmas season, then you will see the UAW decide to make real and reasonable demands instead of the Sabre rattling and desk pounding going on right now.

Keep in mind how negotiations work. Workers start very high, employers start very low. Eventually, they meet somewhere in the middle. If the auto companies are making record profits and paying their CEOs and upper management hefty wages, then it’s not unrealistic for workers to ask to share in that prosperity. On the other hand, auto companies are painfully aware that a downturn in the economy could wipe them — and their workers — out. So, it’s a complex dance that hopefully ends with both parties having a sturdy chair to sit on. That would be a win for both sides.
Tell that to the unions that have an adversarial attitude.
The people that will lose the most if the contracts are rediculiously in favor of the unions ate the shareholders.
If the shareholders lose, the company is screwed.
