UAW Reportedly Wants $300,000 A Year To Work 4 Days A Week, Per Ford CEO

Maybe they can just get paid in electric vehicles. Here's 3 electric trucks that can't tow anything. Hope you can sell them, we sure can't.

Can I get an application?

Only $300k? Fuck it, why not $500k?

I support every union in America right now that doesn’t focus on color as a priority. Used to hate them all. Now we NEED THEM ALL more than ever, because they stand for a MOVEMENT and willingness of people to get something actually done through corporate profit starvation.

A very effective move. They’ll get what they’re asking for.

Watch.

As the dollar continues to inflate, it won't make a difference what they are locked into for pay in the contract. They just wont show up or will just be paid how many millions it is by then for a day of work, changing every day.

Thank God the contract is up, now they can begin hiring people for a reasonable wage...

get rid of the women and blacks. white men will work for half .... and get this they actually work!

This is what they need to be paid to buy the trucks they are selling to the public.

This probably isn't too far off the mark. I knew a tard up here who worked for ford and got pensioned out 30 years ago for literally turning screws. He was making,with benefits and pension, over 90k 30 years ago . Totally overpaid Moran. Business can't sustain themselves with those prices for unskilled labour that a monkey or 7 year old could be trained to do.

I’ll move back to Michigan for that.

$300,000 a year. That's pushing $6000 a week. Four-day week, that'd be $1500/day. Close to $200/hour, assuming it's an eight-hour day.

But then again, some workers get paid to stay home (depending on 100 or so little rules that are part of the contract).

Henry had the bright idea of paying his people $5 a day, which, at the time, was serious bucks. But I don't think it was quite as serious bucks as $1500 a day would be today.

Part of Henry's motivation was to motivate them to come to work every day. "$5 is $5, can't pass that up that kind o' money." I don't know if the same rule applies today. If I made $1500 in one day, I'd be set for a couple of years. But I think I'm sufficiently greedy that I'd want to work 500 days a year for that kind of money.

Another part of Henry's thinking was that he wanted his people to be able to AFFORD to buy the cars they assembled. Looking at it through that prism, UAW members would be one of the few who'd be able to afford today's new cars.

Even though Henry was paying the workers a stratospheric wage, it worked out pretty well for him.

CEO getting paid $30 million to work 3 days a week.

Next door city basterds l:

Time to ship the manufacturing to a developing nation

Guess we get used to driving shit rice grinders now. Worked on a road construction job and broke a spreader. Had to wait for 3 hours for the "union" maintenance workers to come out and fix it. Just a chain off the sprocket. Screw driver and a cresent would have fixed it.

Right when I thought he couldn’t get any dumber.

I stand with UAW

They deserve 300k a year

:)

well with the increase in the price of menthol cigarettes this is understandable

Unions destroy America and the peoples earnings

If this toes through make sure to NEVER buy an American vehicle, EVER!

Well this pretty much paves the way for AI/Robotics to take over everything, in 3 years you are talking a million bucks, that would buy a very nice walking talking thinking robot that will work 24/7 and never complain, only get better at it’s job everyday

And the rest will be profit

why are people so ignorant about inflation.

INFLATION HAS CLEAR AND SINGLE CAUSE!

it's the interest owed on the money borrowed by the government for the usage of the product called currency.

how do you pay back interest when borrowing currency?

you borrow more currency AKA inflation!

it's that freaking simple.

$5 that many years ago, would be like $161 today. 8 hour work day, comes to $20/hr.

Yeah then ask why these "ceos" make multiple times that.
