The Big Three still depend on the UAW for work. Unlike some people claim, they don't have the capacity, the time or the workforce to move production somewhere else. I doubt the UAW is all that worried.
Yeah, we're about to be flooded with stories about how bad the UAW/ strike is for workers, business, the economy, and your Aunt Ethel. It's all bullshit.
The really sad part is that they don't even have to astroturf. They have an army of useful idiots who will post all kinds of anti-labor propaganda and not even realize it's all a lie.
Those people exist because of the decades of anti union propaganda.
And wilful ignorance.
And unions doing foolish things that make them a bad option.
Thanks, but we did not need an example of someone who has fallen for the anti-union propaganda.
Why not? We have a number of examples here of someone who has fallen for pro-union propaganda.
Yeah workers organizing for mutual benefit and negotiation is totally dumb.
You are putting words in my mouth that I never said. Unions as an idea are not bad. However their implementation over the years has done a number of things that are bad.
And unions doing foolish things that make them a bad option.
Just because the unions do it does not mean it is for the mutual benefit of union members. They often have policies that are for the benefit of the worker who has been there for a long time against the younger workers. They often have policies that are against someone who wants to leave the union for a management role at some time.
They should be worried because the big three haven’t adapted quickly enough.

See guys? The non union workforce in the South is doing fine nothing to look at here.
One of these plants is right off an interstate and I drive past it frequently. Within a few weeks of this news breaking, there were "NOW HIRING" billboards put up for miles in either direction. Ignorance is a virtue in the American South.
