Sounds good to me. And they'll win.

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

Hopefully they get concessions like the UPS workers got.

 

[Schadenfreude]

The workers at the non-domestic brands at the US plants are watching this situation very, very closely.

 

[Why]

The math ain’t mathing no more.
And they’ve soured and spoiled the lower middle class past a point now.

Idk man
Hope it get better before worse tho

Automation coming

 

[Schadenfreude]

Automation coming

There's already a lot of it in vehicle assembly; I'll say this much; Toyota tends to have more employees on average in their assembly plants vs the Big 3. TMMK (Kentucky) has a little over 10k employees, where as TMMI has a little over 9,000. If those two plants were to ever go on strike (they're not unionized), Toyota would have a tough decision to make.

The manufacturers brag about profit sharing but until the workers get more it's just bs.
