Hey, it's Bernie...what's his INGO username so I can find him in this thread?

So, 6.25 an hour...while Gary Jones the prez of the commune is getting +$200k a year.

"These same union leaders who criticize the salaries of CEOs earned on average $252,370 in 2016 — nearly $60,000 more than their private-sector counterparts."

Hopefully he needs every penny to pay attorney fees before he's convicted.

The union lawyers aren't defending him?

Pressure mounts on GM and United Auto Workers to make a deal as strike drags into 19th day

 

[KokomoDave]

I wish something positive will come from this strike for my plant. Make us GM in whole or close the gates. This having 2 separate contracts is bull dookie. We (GMCH) get hosed EVERY contract.

Yes, please.

 

[KokomoDave]

I'd like to see them all indicted for conspiracy or assisting.

 

[Hookeye]

LOL, the UAW defectors say the corrupt ones are like Trump.
Boolsheet.

Stereotypical Democrat nonsense.
"Squeaky clean" my arse.

UAW has been rotten like the rest of Detroit forever.
Demonrats

Was looking for the pic of the union boss in the bathtub with the umbrella drink while at a 'conference'. Google doesn't seem to want to show it. hmmmm

Doesn't help that I'm henpecking on an ipad, but would have thought it would come up easily in image searches. hmmm

Sqeaky clean in the post above is what made me think of it.

UAW strike budget could last 60 weeks, says expert

The Union's budget may last 60 weeks but I don't think the family budgets and lifestyles of the union members can hold out that long. Many people live paycheck to paycheck and most buy their houses, cars, toys, etc. on credit and need a full salary every week to meet the Vig.

It's salting the land you live on. Prepare to reap the desert.

If you were making GM plant money and didn't have a big cushion set aside, well...

I don't have a lifestyle per se except eating.
All toys paid, no mortgage or vehicle payments (Thank you Dave Ramsey!!!), just utilities and food. We set back money so bumps in the road are minor just like we were taught in class.

 

[Big Flounder]

My wife and I saved money just in case we went on strike, and she's still working so we're good. Some people just can't save whether they make 8 bucks an hour or 28. And of course in some cases life happens and they just can't save. It's hitting everyone differently and I'm not one to judge. Just glad there are a lot of people and businesses donating to help the people who need it.

 

[Hookeye]

Everybody should have money set aside for emergency.....not just UAW folks.

This being a contract year....folks should have planned for a bit of upset.

Even so......life can throw other things at you.....in spite of good planning.

Some financial hardships are deserved, some not

 

[Hookeye]

Poor planning......might be some boats, guns, ATV or motorcycles for sale ...... the longer the strike lasts.

Could be some great deals.

That’s what I was thinking. Motivated seller = deals.
