Wow, they typical American worker has a house like that?LOL! No American can compete with a foreigner in the Global market.
On an individual basis?

If that is the American worker's house, then he doesn't need to work again.
Oh. wait. You were just spouting off useless hyperbole again.
You may continue with your bullshit.
So you are the one who is blind. Obviously, you cannot compete with a chinese worker, because you require so more as this individual. If you live in an alley, you might compete by begging after work for food. So being an ass, you can't compete.
My dad was part of a union his entire working life. I remember him when he was on strike when I was in high school. When he got in trouble, they helped save his ass.
That strike he was in while I was in high school convinced the company that continuing operations at that plant was counterproductive, and they closed it down the next year.
I have never been part of a union.
Crossing the picket line is not a neutral act. The nature of work means that a worker cannot simply say they are not involved in the dispute and remain neutral. Since the point of withdrawing labour is to cease production and force the bosses to negotiate or capitulate, going back to work is to objectively favour those in charge. It gives them a way to carry on work (even at a reduced rate) without the strikers and so lessens the impact of the action. It is, in short, a betrayal of your fellow workers and of the spirit of solidarity that brought us to the (limited) rights and freedoms we enjoy today from conditions comparable to Chinese sweatshops.
Disgruntled because $2,000 of any new car price is strictly to cover these ridiculous legacy costs, you Hack.
First, I don't believe you, and second prove that statement, ya scab.
And there goes your credability...as if you ever had any.
PS.........its threads like this that identify those that dont own anything and have a life of zero responsibility.
Have a mortgage to pay then come in here and spout off about how awesome unions are. Every time I check the mail, my fcukking local taxes are going up to support all this union greed.
First, you're an idiot thenDisgruntled because $2,000 of any new car price is strictly to cover these ridiculous legacy costs, you Hack.LOL! No American can compete with a foreigner in the Global market, so it would make no difference if the worker is Union or NonUnion. I assume you are a capitalist that doesn't believe in making more money & benefits, so would work for free. Don't assume it is the Unions that caused $14 bulbs. That is why CEOs have a employment and there is a gap in this country between the middle class & top 10%. Had there been Union job protection for the scabs the gap would have never happened. Now you find your only options are making less money and giving up your benefits. Tsk!! And then blame Unions!!! LMAO!! I don't see Union members starving with their livingwages and benefits, and I do see disgrunted people like you jealous because of what Unions have done for their workers.
First, I don't believe you, and second prove that statement, ya scab.
Legacy Costs
Every car GM makes carries "legacy costs"--the costs of providing healthcare and pensions to scores of retired workers. For every GM worker, there are about 10 dependants, which are defined as retired workers and their families. According to Cole, "When the international car companies came to the U.S., the move stuck the domestics with a very large disadvantage related to legacy costs. And that's $2000 a car." That two grand must be built into the sticker price of any new GM car and truck. And that's money on top of developing, producing and marketing a car--costs that Honda, Toyota and others don't have. It makes competing difficult for the domestic automakers, "like playing basketball with a bowling ball," according to Cole. GM's per-hour labor rate for car assembly is about $75 per hour, compared to $40 to $45 for other car companies. That particular disadvantage, says Cole, will be "gone by the end of next year," when a new labor agreement goes into effect.
Radio already caught the shithead in that lie.The Chinese house is gay..............
Now I see that CEO mansion and I dont give a crap. Good for that guy........he pays mega-taxes and helps create jobs and opportunity. The guy in the Chinese house? Not so much............
The k00ks in this forum live their lives in a perpetual state of jealousy and misery and nothing would provide them more delight than fcukking the guy in the mansion.

That was all you posted. Huh?
Not blind at all. GM workers make more money than nonUnion scab workers.
Thats what is being suggested imbecile, that there is something wrong for a capitalist to strive fro higher wages and benefits and retirements. I can only assume you expect the scab to work for free in your ideal world.
And retirement packages? Benefits like free legal advice? Dental care? Employment placements? Job training? Tell you the truth, I think you are full of bullshit.
That is what you are suggesting, that a Union worker making a living wage is making too much money, ya scab. I am just putting down what your are saying scabby. You want to play this big capitalist role, yet deny workers a living wage. What the hell do you work for if not for a living wage? You just lost the argument scabby.
You lost. Good day.
You folded and ran. Take care.
When a union forms, if you are part of the <50% who did not want to join, too bad in the majority of cases. Either you join or find a new job.

In my area, there are two major chain grocery stores. One is union, one is not. They have nearly identical benefit packages for their workers. Identical pay scales. Only difference is that the Union members see more money taken out of their check for union dues than the non-union store. For no extra benefits than the non-union store.
Yeah, thats a winner for the workers.Lets take more money away from those who can least afford to lose it.

Thats because labor costs, for all the attention they have been receiving, make up only about 10 percent of the cost of making a vehicle.The article gives a good breakdown of what the unions cost the car-buyer.

Here is what Union workers cost the truck buyer.
The average GM assembly-line worker makes about $29 per hour in wages.
GM produces 1,428 trucks a day
Union employees 214
$29.00 Hr. X 8 hours X 214 Union workers = $49648.00 -:- 1428 Trks = 34.77 a truck labor.
Any questions?

I detect Shintao might be a union hack? I too have had a couple bad experiences with union workers...Out of the couple times I've ever dealt with them personally...Libs complain about a couple instances of violence in thousands of tea Party rallies, but ignore the fact that there is violence in every 2-3 union rallies...There should be a wage cap on union members...minimum wage + 20%...their original intent was to protect the most vulnerable workers...Fat ass plumbers, electicians, and auto workers, who make $35 an hour have destroyed the market for future fat ass plumbers, electricians, and auto workers.
Glew must be a scab corporate Hack? Yes, a proud Union member here.

So the only people who are union workers at GM are the assembly line workers? Not the forklift drivers, the parts drivers, the secretaries, the janitors, AND THE RETIRED WORKERS WHO ARE STILL RECEIVING BENEFITS.
Idiot.
