Do it. Stop pussy footing around these rich fucks and do it.

You want better working conditions? Start striking across the board every time they refuse to give an inch. In 2019 Ford lost 3.9 billion over a UAW strike. You better believe that made the investment funds for the shareholders blink. Let them simmer on that every time they refuse to negotiate for human decency. They have billions. We have pennies. Force them to give it up.

They're still in contract until 11:59 pm on the 14th. They can't strike until then.

What's hourly wage for someone on the assembly line?

Approximately $20, which is a currently a single step above fast food or retail

Five Guys near me has a sign outside that says the average crew member gets paid $20.91/hr. I was working on an assembly line last year in between jobs and I was making like $19/hr. This is in Northern Ohio.
