Most of their demands seem reasonable but I don't understand their request that plants be reopened.
If there aren't customers to buy the products why would the UAW demand that GM keep making cars at those plants?
- learc83 7y agoI think their solution would be to reduce the number of cars made in foreign plants and move that work to the US.
- josefresco 7y agoI believe it's more about shifting plants to other locations/countries. Existing factories can be re-fitted to produce a different model.
- nradov 7y agoIt's pretty simple: the UAW wants to keep their members employed. This isn't necessarily unreasonable. However it is one of the factors which drove the old GM into bankruptcy. Toward the end they were building cars that no one wanted and selling them at a loss because due to restrictive union contacts that was actually cheaper than laying off workers.
- refurb 7y agoBecause they don't care if the cars get sold, just if their union members get paid.
