Strike Expanded to Parts Distribution

[chesafreak]

Looks like UAW is concentrating on GM and Stellantis and their parts distribution centers. Good luck to everyone here on getting that HPFP before EOY.

UAW expands strike to 38 GM and Stellantis auto-parts distribution centers in 20 states - MarketWatch

As I have not seen any new threads on this.. Has anyone had a successful recall done yet? Havent personally contacted a dealership as i have not seen any movement on it.

HPFP?

Balls. I even had an appointment set for the end of October hoping parts would be available.

I still stand with the workers on this, they were asked to give up a ton to keep the automakers afloat during COVID and now that the car companies are making record profits, they don't want to give it back.

One could argue the automakers already did that and are in the "find out" stage.

That's not a bug, it's a feature. The point of a strike is to disrupt and hopefully the C-Suite suits at the Big 3 are factoring that long term impact into their calculus of whether to pay their workers. Strikes end when the cost of prolonging outweigh the cost of settling, the suits think the workers will blink first and capitulate, the union's answer is to tighten the screws.

It will come to an end when the accountants do the math and realize the strike is costing them more than they would lose by settling.

I think I’ve come up with a new tshirt idea or truckers hat. Maybe just a picture of the CP4.2 with metal flying out of it on the front. I’d rock that.
Anyone here do graphics?

American vehicle quality did that a long time ago. This is the first time in decades I am even considering a US vehicle.

They had me right up to the "work for 32 hours and get paid for 40 hours" demand.

Come on, man. All the rest make sense. But not that.

Absolutely

I'd think this will only speed up stellantis closing all the facilities they're looking to get out of once this strike ends. Euro Chrysler I can't imagine being up for dealing with this horseshit considering they are even looking to sell their NA headquarters.

That demand is just a bargaining chip.
