Big 3 coughed up a 20% wage increase.
I was 19 years old when I started at Belvidere assembly…..I was there over 10 years when Covid hit and fucked everything up. Did my time and took 8 years to get up to top pay. They cut 3rd shift….then 2nd shift….I barley made the cut on 1 shift. Then they slowed the line down to basically a skeleton crew…..then moved the product to Mexico. We were the the #2 plant in quality in North America of out of the big 3. Most of us got a letter in the mail…..transfer or lose all of your benefits/insurance in 2 weeks. Electric cars are not good for 90% or the public and definitely not good for the workforce. I loved my time there and enjoyed what I did and built every car like it was mine. Management truly doesn’t give a fuck about quality and it’s all about quantity. Sad they are willing to give up thousands of workers who actually know what they are doing to save a few bucks after billions in profit. Hopefully the the strike gets them the significant wage increases most of them deserve and most importantly some job security.

Anyone looking for real answers to the whole strike deal and anything regarding the UAW for Guy I’m working for is based out of Elkhorn,WI. Does great work. It’s an hour drive for me, but I really wanted to learn a trade and he gave me a chance so I’m sucking it up for now.

UAW was also stupid as fuck to endorse Biden….dumb as fuck to endorse him to begin with but even dumber to endorse him pushing all the EV BS that’s still at least 10 years out…..

I went to a Mopar plant out near Boston,MA. Loved it and it was like a country club compared to the assembly line. I got my transfer money and hit the road. The cost of living and housing was insane out there. Couldn’t afford to live there with a family to provide for. I got lucky and am an apprentice for an electrician now. Will be more money in the long run. But i definitely miss the people.
