Trucks are already 10 to 30k more now than just a few years ago as some models surpass 100k on the price tag. Now thanks to the greed of the unions an already inflated truck is going to cost you an additional 1k.
Much like housing, vehicles are slowly getting out of reach for young people. What was once a reasonable expectation is now an unobtainable dream for many. Compound that with Obama's asinine cash for clunkers program which removed 10's of thousands of used cars from the market and now even used cars are insanely priced.

Democrats and unions are ensuring that a once everyday item & near necessity to life becomes a luxury item.
The complaint is about the union greed not the workers. And massive labor increases do not exist in a bubble. It will have an affect on all of us. Just like now a big mack cost 10 bucks instead of 4 because of labor. Also ushers in a lot more automation which will replace many people.Why complain about the working class, which you are a member of? You should support them, as it might also benefit you.

Now there is no value. No English speaking employees and tons of automation
You would think that the unions would be whining about that on behalf of their membership.....But no....As long as they are getting their cut of the wage increase they are fine.....You know, taking from those they are supposed to represent.Instead you should complain about the exorbitant salaries and benefits given the senior executives.

And they settled for comparable peanuts once they figured they could continue to fleece the membership to suit them.
I don’t believe you’re right. You must know about income inequality in this country. Labor has been screwed for decades, while the 1% has benefited enormously. Your criticism is misplaced.The complaint is about the union greed not the workers. And massive labor increases do not exist in a bubble. It will have an affect on all of us.

Meanwhile MI and the fed .gov gives them subsidies out the ass and it's not like it equates lower prices for the consumer.....Good gig if you can get it I guess.
If customers don't like the price, they can buy a Hyundai or a Toyota. It isn't like they don't have choices.
