UAW strike affecting Ford, GM and other auto makers in the US.

I’m with UAW on this. If a company is making record profits off the back of its workers then find some way to share the $$$ with those workers whose hard work turned raw product into vehicles that customers want to buy.

With out customers you have no sales and without workers you have no product to sell to enable management to get paid their salaries.

Happening all across America.
Covid hit business hard. And along with an economic slowdown; increased fuel costs and bailouts in the form of loans from government it's conspired to hit boardrooms hard.
So now things are slowly returning to some sort of normality business wants to ensure investors and board members are rewarded for [i] their[/i] loyalty..... before looking after the very workforce that kept the business going !
Same thing is happening in Europe but at least there's general recognition of the problem on both sides.

America I fear will stubbornly refuse to acknowledge that the cost of living is still through the roof for the average/low paid worker and so industrial unrest is likely to increase as a result and both major parties will blame either the workforce or the Chinese or each other for previous economic policy to score political points rather than admit the Problem and tell business to play fair
