Which means if they settle for a 15 to 20% pay increase over the span of 5 to 10 years...mission accomplished..It's ludicrous what they're demanding. Almost 50% pay increase while demanding a reduction in hours from 40-32.
Exactly what they did in France and Greece a few years ago before their economic collapses.
They're just preparing us for socialism in America.
"Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) praised then-President Reagan's firing of thousands of striking federal workers when asked Monday about the ongoing United Auto Workers strike. "I think Ronald Reagan gave us a great example when federal employees decided they were going to strike," Scott said Monday in Iowa during a campaign event. "He said, you strike, you're fired. Simple concept to me to the extent that we can use that once again."
Federal law, according to the National Labor Relations Board, prohibits workers from being fired for "participating in a protected strike or picketing against" one's employer, though not all strikes are protected. Scott's campaign said his comments dealt entirely with federal workers rather than the UAW strike. The UAW comprises non-federal workers. Biden last Friday urged U.S. automakers to share more of their "record profits" with striking union workers - Scott criticized President Biden, who has dubbed himself as the "most pro-union president ever." The percentage of American workers who are members of a union fell to a new low in 2022 despite the total number of unionized workers increasing. 71% of Americans approved of labor unions in 2022, the highest mark recorded by Gallup since 1965."
It was smart for Scott to bring up the firing of federal workers when asked about striking union workers, because it is always fun to fire federal employees because they aren't real people anyway with real jobs - and if you get any blowback for implying we should fire non-federal union workers; just run the "Oh, we were just talking about federal workers" defense -- even tho the question asked was about non-federal employees.
I think it is a winning policy to be anti-union, because for the most part, unions are bad news; they have far too much power - just look at what they have done in the last few decades; forced corporations to pay them overtime; forced them to give them vacation and sick leave, subsidize their medical insurance, it's just insane....
Over the years, conditions have been very unfair to the corporate/wealth class ; so this recent power grab by the unions will backfire as most people will view the unions as being pro-Democrat, pro woke (especially since the largest portion of union membership are black workers) - all of these things make unions even less popular and the corporate elite more popular. So Tim Scott and the GOP really needs to do whatever they can to make it easier to fire these strikers both in Detroit and Hollywood.
Yes and when Joe cancelled the Keystone pipeline and blocked public lands and waters from new drilling it caused a global increase in crude prices.... ask any economist....Gas prices are global......which is why what the Saudis and OPEC does, affects everyone....and no, we were never energy dependent unless you want to nationalize our oil production.....until then, it will remain something that is sold to the highest bidder...
"Saudi Arabia said Thursday it will extend its unilateral production cut of 1 million barrels of oil a day through the end of September in its effort to boost flagging energy prices. A series of production cuts over the past year has failed to substantially boost prices amid weakened demand from China and tighter monetary policy aimed at combatting inflation.
The Saudis are particularly keen to boost oil prices in order to fund Vision 2030, an ambitious plan to overhaul the kingdom’s economy, the plans include several massive infrastructure projects, including the construction of a futuristic $500 billion city called Neom.
Higher prices would also help Russian President Vladimir Putin fund his war on Ukraine, as Western countries have used a price cap to try to cut into Moscow’s revenues."
Saudi Arabia extends daily oil production cut through September to boost energy prices
The Saudi cut of 1 million barrels per day, which began in July, comes as the other OPEC+ producers have agreed to extend earlier production cuts through next year.www.pbs.org
When you worked, did you refuse to be paid overtime, did you refuse to take paid vacations? Because you know, all of that is socialism and stuff brought to you by those Communist unionsIt's ludicrous what they're demanding. Almost 50% pay increase while demanding a reduction in hours from 40-32.
Exactly what they did in France and Greece a few years ago before their economic collapses.

Don't be an idiot.... its too early....I hear President Biden has an App on his phone where he can raise and lower gas prices
The Keystone pipeline already exists...how much did it drop gas prices by? Here is hint, zero....because that isn't how gas prices work......Yes and when Joe cancelled the Keystone pipeline and blocked public lands and waters from new drilling it caused a global increase in crude prices.... ask any economist....

You want the good life then realize it. I see no Americans promoting what you do living much poorer on purpose. Trump told us the truth about oil. For many to understand. All of those protesters living comfortable lives.The Keystone pipeline already exists...how much did it drop gas prices by? Here is hint, zero....because that isn't how gas prices work......
"When President Trump re-permitted KXL in 2017, his own State Department reported that it would not lower gasoline prices. The price of oil is set by the global market and certainly not by U.S. presidents. What’s more, the project was just about dead for a number of reasons, including litigation from aggrieved property owners whose land TC Energy seized by eminent domain."
Opinion: Let’s clear up some facts about the so-called “Keystone Pipeline”
What some pipeline advocates think is the “Keystone Pipeline” is a 1,700-mile “shortcut” called Keystone XL, or KXL. It would have sliced through Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahom…
Do you folks get tired of using bullshit talking points to defend the fact we allow oil speculators on Wall Street and greed to allow our oil prices to be treated like a casino for the benefit of a few??

Here is the average price of gas going back 40 years........those good old days of 1.50 gas will never be the norm again (a global pandemic is anything but the norm), and it ain't because of pipelines running from Canada to the US gulf to sell dirty crude to the global market.
In other words, you decided to ignore everything I said and babble nonsense because you can't refute it?You want the good life then realize it. I see no Americans promoting what you do living much poorer on purpose. Trump told us the truth about oil. For many to understand. All of those protesters living comfortable lives.
No it isn't. If you collectively bargain you can collectively get a raise and you can collectively get fired, obviously.Scott advocating “fire them all” is an attack on collective bargaining
No, by law they are protectedAnd they could also get collectively fired if the company thinks their demands are outrageous.
No, the one that ACTUALLY cut off the union workers at the knees was Biden.Republicans are once again showing they are anti-worker
Time and again they advocate policies that limit the rights of workers while providing corporations with a low wage workforce.
Scott advocating “fire them all” is an attack on collective bargaining
No, the one that ACTUALLY cut off the union workers at the knees was Biden.
Like at Hostess?No, by law they are protected
Having reached the limit of your intellect (which doesn't take long), I accept your concession.

Why did this GOP presidential nominee and former Trump appointee to the UN claim Biden is the most pro-union president ever??Having reached the limit of your intellect (which doesn't take long), I accept your concession.
"It tells you that when you have the most pro-union President, and he touts that he is emboldening the unions this is what you get...when you have a President that's constantly saying 'go union, go union,' this is what you get, the unions get emboldened and they start asking for things..."
I have no idea, I'm not a mind reader.Why did this GOP presidential nominee and former Trump appointee to the UN claim Biden is the most pro-union president ever??
"Republican Presidential candidate Nikki Haley did her best to make Biden sound really good to blue collar voters on Tuesday, by telling Fox that Biden was the "most pro-union President."
Haley:
Doesn't she know he hates union workers, as you said....cutting them off at the knees.....is it safe to say that this GOP nominee is a moron? Or does it not matter what right-wingers say because they will just contradict it 5 seconds later?
Noted.I have no idea, I'm not a mind reader.

Haley is wrong. I have no idea why she said it-though it may have predated Biden knifing the railroad unions in the back.Noted.
