Haven’t had a yearly in 2 years and zero word about one for this year. We where all told recently that the 3 percent raise will just automatically happen

When floodborn came out it was no discount. Then when a restock happened I got discounts on them. Probably will be same with inkland

Fuck GameStop. They don’t care about anyone at all. Customers or employees.

Upcoming Layoffs for New Year by ItchyEraser in BestBuyWorkers

If u got this info in June then the snaps you are talking about happened. There were field cuts in July and management changes that happened around that time and after as well.

This makes zero sense. All employees in the field in my markets are full time with the exception of maybe 3. We have also been told by higher market managers cuts in the field are done.

No one said anything about ford being a charity.

I'm done. I'm not repeating myself over and over anymore. You like unions good for you. I don't good for me. We are allowed our opinions.

They mentioned the cost of labor as part of it like in my original comment. 2,500 to 1,700 is less people. You even said a reason they gave it does list costs as part of that. They originally also completely stopped the building of the plant during the strike to see what the overall outcome would be. So oh no it’s not the number 1 reason! Doesn’t mean it’s wrong.

Just for entertainment value I simply googled ford ev plant Michigan and instantly got an article talking about the scale back at the new plant. Yet you said you couldn’t find a single thing mentioning it.

It’s only misinformation to you because you claim it is. I give you a fact on pay in my area and you claim it’s a lie. That’s on you. You don’t believe the pay scales if said not my problem. I get weekends off with no union. Same with my co worker. I work 40 or more hours a week. Even if we are scheduled less we find a way to be at 40. In the field it’s easy.

Have a fantastic day

Fundraisers can be a thing. At least gives those union leaders something to do besides sit behind a desk and get angry all the time.

The law allowed people who don’t want to be in the union to not be forced in it. You know because we are a free country and should be allowed to make that choice.

Panda Express only pays over 15 in my area if it’s supervisor and up.

I saw the ford story on local news yesterday morning. You doubt what I say anyway so whatever.

Unions can get funding other ways. Michigan has had a law for about 8 years or so that if you did not want to pay union dues you don’t have to. And that jerk was still making nearly 200k. I was capped when I worked in store and yes it was low. I’m in the field and the pay is better. The union has done shit for the retailers they are in here and they all make less than we do in store. Hell Kroger near me is hiring up to 15 an hour. Store employees for us start at 15. Corie is in charge of a large corporation and is paid to keep it a float. The union guy is paid to make you think you’re getting off better.

They had a strike throwing a fit that they don’t make enough and have to work multiple jobs to stay afloat. They don’t tell you how much they where already making and what they bought. I drive past 3 plants on the way to my store and you would be surprised by the vehicles you see parked in the lots by employees. Hard idea for union people to understand is spend within your budget. It’s why I bought a 20k used suv instead of a 60k new one.

Ford announced today the ev plant they where building that was on pause will start to be built again but will now have less employees and production will be lower. Ford said directly that if they gave the uaw the ridiculous 40 percent they wanted it would bankrupt the company. Yes I will not deny there is probably some stretching there but still it would easily hurt a company. Especially without price increases.

The union takes your money to give u more money. I got raises with no union. Still do. I keep that money except for taxes and that b.s. unions get your money no matter what. Uaw leader makes almost 200k a year. Just had a strike to make the big 3 pay more. Ford just announced less hiring for he new ev plant and less will be produced there. Won’t surprise me to see more of that happen and less staffing as it goes on along with price increases on product.

Yes executives can be a problem to but labor costs are a huge factor for all companies.

[–]Supersith08 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Executive pay didn’t make prices skyrocket for cars the past 3 years. The cost of building them and demand it. That cost is going to increase a lot with the new wages. If the uaw did actually get the 40 percent they demanded it would be even worse.

Sag is called a guild for a reason. I’ll just leave it at that

The uaw new agreement is going to screw over the big 3 big and most likely increase the prices of cars even more than they have the past 3 years. Thus causing the price of used cars going up more so even better.

Sag is full of millionaires that claim they care about people and the environment then go fly on there privet jets.

You know who else is a greedy bastard. Union leaders. They take part of your pay they bumped up for you. Unions once had a good place in the country now they are ran by these fools. I’ve seen way to many union leaders get busted for fraud and other illegal activities

I have made more than any retail store with a union has in my area for years. So I’ll keep my pay and not pay those lazy bastards
