Give them a nice bonus for the success...that way the increased cost isn't built into the system. Another good year-another nice bonus.
If the UAW actually feared the demise of the American Auto-industry they wouldn't keep pulling this shit.
Records profits are a great accomplishment for the people who make decisions for the company. As it was said earlier, the guy who bolts on doors doesn't have shit to do with that. The gas station I worked at in high school might have made record profits too, but I didn't get a raise for cleaning the toilets or stocking the shelves. These aren't school teachers or cops, they volunteered to work for a private organization.
I fail to see the issue. The union is pushing for more, as is its function. Management can decide whether to accede to request. What's the problem?
I agree with the bonus compromise. I think a few more fat years are required before you start bucking the labor deals that fattened you in the first place.
It's sadly predictable that the snobs on this board only want their kind to share in the profits of a company. They don't people they see on less of a caste than they occupy to succeed.
It's OK for Mike to negotiate with his employer for a better deal but it's not OK for people who get dirty at work to do the same.
Ford is making record profit it would anti-capitalistic for those who helped them reach these profits not to reap some of the beneifts.
Actually, no it's not OK for me to negotiate with my employer for a better deal. I'm a non-union, public sector worker.
And there's a huge difference between one worker negotiating his/her salary with an employer and a union saying, "give us what we want or we will shut your company down."
Finally, by any realistic analysis these workers are doing incredibly well for what they do, yet they choose to paint themselves as having been victimized. It's disingenuous and it simply doesn't resonate well when most of the middle class really is having a tough time of it.
