Anler Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 I was just reading about how the auto industry is shrinking. New car sales are going down each year. It going to result in more plants closing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a public disclosure for those earning 100 G's or more. The thing is, a lot of those employees who have earned that income did so due to the amount of overtime they have worked. I made the list 2 times in 36 years and in those 2 times, I easily worked 400+ hrs of O.T. None of that, of course, is disclosed in the sunshine list. The public, who complain about their hydro bills, all point fingers at the workers and blame them. Truth of the matter is, because we are a gov't run company, we have zero say in how much people are charged for their electricity. Many say we are over paid, lazy, all those things I'm sure you also hear, but they have no idea, no clue whatsoever, the type of work we do nor the hazards associated with it. No one's wages should be made public unless EVERYONE'S is. 12 minutes ago, Anler said: I was just reading about how the auto industry is shrinking. New car sales are going down each year.

Which is complete BS. They try and get the general public to believe that BS, so they think the price of vehicles being so high is because of labor costs. Which again is complete BS. But idiots (and it's well proven on here) lap that shit up just like they CEOs and media want them to just like the stupid fucking idiots they are. Nailed it. Not to mention the ones who are making 6 figures are putting in some pretty serious hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A major part of the doom and gloom and knees jerk reactions is causcausede by "speculation" and "analysts", Making other people freak out. Those people need to be shot in the face with a 12 gauge. 7 minutes ago, yami123 said: Nailed it. Not to mention the ones who are making 6 figures are putting in some pretty serious hours. Not to hard for a team leader/hourly coordinator or trades to get into the 6 figures. A regular hourly worker is putting in a lot of hours to get into 6 figures. Nothing wrong with it.

I’m assuming he works for a parts supplier or something along those lines???

And people like you lap it up just like they want. I've been holding back, believe me, but it seems that's what you want me to do in order to validate your side of the argument. Not that you even have one other then "Union good...fuck everyone else". Enjoy it while it lasts. The Auto industry is changing in a big way and the Union will not fare well in the future. Most of those jobs will be the ones to fall to automation first. 8 minutes ago, awful knawful said: But but but he don't Need the UAW! Finally you got something, right congratulations... I don't! I don't need the UAW I just need them to show up to work so the rest of the industry isn't held hostage. Something none of the Union guys seems to comprehend. We get small sums of money for RD&D but the majority of the money we make comes from parts. We don't ship parts, we don't make money. If people walk off the job (read UAW workers) and plants get closed (No UAW workers there to operate the lines etc) guess what. Parts can't ship. Companies are loosing millions and millions so the UAW worker can what, make top pay in 2 years instead of 5? It's painfully obvious the common UAW worker is completely incapable of understanding what happens outside of their group when they willfully refuse to work. In fact, as shown here, they push the blame off on non UAW people that are indirectly fiscally affected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
