UAW On Strike

[Creedmoor]

That’s the thing about Kaizen. When you continually improve production, and take human error out of the process, it makes people more interchangeable, replaceable. For repetitive tasks, all else equal, experience doesn’t matter much.

Kaizen without 5S ain't worth much.

The question I asked was, what industry do you work in?

Just remember that those Union Strikes are also good for the non union working world. Strikes brought about benefits like vacation pay, health, welfare and pensions, equal pay for women, overtime pay, I can go on if needed???

Maternity leave?

Maternity leave?







View attachment 305817

I know this, I sure would have liked to have a few weeks off paid when my sons were born. I just used some of my vacation time those years.
I also believe if thats what people want, its better to have thousands of membership behind me with bargaining than no one behind me trying to bargain with my employer by myself.

Not sure about paid time off with adoption.

and they also bring about layoffs for non-union suppliers, more unemployment benefits paid out and more people finding jobs in sectors that don't have to deal with striking unions. But we don't acknowledge that, right?

Thank goodness UAW's leadership isn't having to go without.

The statement I made was the unions have outlived their usefulness. Not that they weren't useful at one point in time...

What are we comparing them to?
Management in the private sector?

Are you embarrassed with what industry you make a living in?

You forget you being out twice now?

Gentlemen, it’s OK to let the other guy have the last word on a point.

Let’s let tempers simmer down for awhile.

Good morning everyone.

Good morning!

Day IDK of the strike, I saw these articles last night. The union is overplaying their hand...prove me wrong!

Stellantis looking to close 18 facilities in the US? But I was told on INGO that UAW strikes prevent that from happening.

“Bill Ford knows exactly how to settle this strike. Instead of threatening to close the Rouge, he should call up [Ford President] Jim Farley, tell him to stop playing games and get a deal done, or we’ll close the Rouge for him,” said Shawn Fain

---

Probably at this point it’s time for the big three to start taking pieces of the latest offer off the table. Fain could end up the president of an unemployed union.

Nah. It won’t come to that. Companies won’t remove any of what they offered. But, they might just let the union run out of strike funds.

This was obviously unnecessary. I've been informed that no one is getting worked up.

Kaizen without 5S ain't worth much.

Which does not address the point. Are you saying these UAW represented plants don't have 5S, and thus, their repetitive low skill jobs require more experience?

But if you're just making a statement, yes.

I'm in the food industry (everyone's gotta eat!). You know, the one where some companies (Starbucks) are doing all they can to keep unions out...

No company wants unions.
