“The workers should be lucky they aren’t getting fair compensation because they are uneducated half wits.” “who cares that they have up more than what they are currently asking back in 2008?” “I mean their labor created record profits for the companies, and what they are asking for isn’t even 10% of those profits, but the shareholders and executives deserve that 10% more!”
Ya no. It’s about them getting a slice of the profits. Acting as workers are not deserving of greater amounts due to their labor is a joke. The 40% increase is low considering they generated $32 billion last year. They could demand immediate pay increases of $80k but are asking for $32k over the life of the contract.
Just because they work on assembly lines doesn’t make them “uneducated half wits” either. They are still jobs that require a level of skill to perform well. I’d like to see any “C” level Ford executive perform similar tasks for hours a day with the same levels of quality and skill.
I know. OP and people like him think that. But it doesn’t matter! The number one benefactor in a companies success should always be the worker not some CEO or hedge fund manger.
I don’t understand this mindset.
