Will farmers feel the effects of John Deere strikers?

[initforme]

I support the striking workers 100 percent. More strikes are on the horizon. Time is now to take a stand. Will this affect farmers?

What do they want??

 

[initforme]

Better wages and a fair contract. I'm with them every step of the way.

 

[initforme]

Things like this give me hope for our labor force.

Now if we only had a government to penalize the company when it decides to move all manufacturing to Mexico.

 

[initforme]

You want Americans working for Mexican wages? Explain.

Probably not.

The Rank and File disobeyed the union bosses by rejecting the contract that the kingpins negotiated for them.

I expect that the strikers will be given some time to blow off a little bit of steam and in a month or two, they'll be ready to go back.

Farmers are tough people, they make provisions for things not to go exactly as planned. After all, dealing with weather, an predictable force, is part of their racket.

only if it last a good long time. Most have the equipment they need for now, with winter coming most will not be needing anything new for a while.

No idiot. He's saying companies like to outsource when they get pressured nation-side for higher wages.

 

[initforme]

Those companies that leave don't like America maybe?

They like money. For the most part only shitty businesses make it more complicated than that. Companies outsource because they can and it's cheaper.

5 buck wheat on a 750,000 dollar combine don't cut it my friend.

 

[tyroneweaver]

What do they want??

they want to know why they have to put DEF equipment on a freak'n farm tractor.

Capitalism: a very special delirium. An extreme movement of violence.

Corporatism has infected everything.

 

[Dekster]

They were getting a 6% pay increase plus inflation adjusting wages going forward that the union negotiated and still rejected it. They just don't want to work IMO.

 

[maybelooking]

Doubtful it will affect farmers. They have a very wide array of manufacturers to go to.

The closest this country has come in my lifetime was the Carter administration.

If it does happen, you better have your shit together. Guns and ammo will be the most valuable thing you can own. If I have those, and you don't.......your bread becomes my bread.
