Greedy workers and greedy CEOs unite to raise auto prices. Lovely.
How are the workers greedy? Specifically.
I already knew making any criticism of uaw or workers would bring down votes. I won’t bother any further with replies beyond saying greedy people asking for 40% pay raise and lazy people asking for 4 day work week are specific examples. CEO’s giving themselves massive pay raises are also greedy. Both sets are assholes and consumers pay the price.
The 40% is mostly too make up the concessions the workers made to keep the companies afflot in 2008. The 40% is over the life of the contract. The 40% wouldn't even reach 10% of the projected profits for the companies over that time. 4 day work week is proven to be more productive than the 5 day work week, even more so for physically demanding jobs.
You are uninformed.

"No not that way" reactionaries when workers ask to be paid fairly
Right, but is this because you're a based freedom fighter or because you're wrong? Hrm.
Saying they're lazy because they want a 4-day work week does raise an eyebrow, to be clear.
