I can't comment on that. There isn't enough information. All I know is the information Ford sends me every year that explains the dollar amount for every benefit provided to me.
I really get tired of people comparing a worker who voluntarily works for a company, and can leave at any time, getting PAID for their work, to a person being ripped from their home and forced into labor/prostitution/whatever for the rest of their lives for zero pay. If you work for Elon , you are absolutely not a slave in any way, shape, or form.
And the Mach-E is made by union labor. I think I would rather see more unions, at Tesla, and in factories around the world, rather than less.
We actually agree on something?
Exactly, when people say "well they will just take the work out of the country", that is admission to supporting a company exploiting someone else when workers fight back in one location. I absolutely understand that companies need to make enough money to continue operation, but that hasn't been the goal for almost any company dealing in union talks. The goal of Ford and others is to have a constantly increasing profits to make shareholders happy, and it's unsustainable and without unions they would find those profits in holding back employee pay.
The notable item on there is it says total compensation before the contract negotiation is $67 per hour at GM vs $45 per hour at Tesla.
The pay inequality is not due to the "rich" getting paid more, it's due to investment and the return on it. When the "working class" is choosing to buy frivolous stuff because of YOLO, then they can never improve. Society has to change its mentality. But it's really hard when a new $1000 iPhone comes out every year and you just have to have it to impress your Instagram friends. People don't save for the future and complain that the "man" is keeping them down.
I tell you what. I usually shred everything with my name on it after I read it. But if I still have it, I'll scan and post it with only my name redacted. I doubt I still have it, though. They send them out at the beginning of the year.
I said no such thing. Children are natural negotiators. They are not afraid to ask for what they want. So many adults are, and they shouldn't be. They should be as fearless as children are in asking for what they want.
No, of course not. I’m just pointing out that this global competition undermines the unions’ call for higher wages. I don’t have the answers. We obviously want to live in this beautiful country with high standards of living and high cost of living. We also want to buy cheap stuff from WalMart and generally we want everything to be as inexpensive as possible. We also want our retirement funds to go up, which means we want the companies we invest in to be profitable. Basically, we want the best of everything but something’s gotta give!
Thanks, yes please don't share a name or address. You don't even need to share the documents. If you found an online article that shows the correct amounts that would be helpful.
What you are saying doesn't represent reality. There absolutely are people that buy a new phone every year, but they are the severe minority. Apple has said that the average lifecycle of current iPhones is three years. Being an average, that means there are people keeping them for less of course, but also those keeping them for longer. And since the average is falling in the 3 year mark, it would make sense that a small number are actually replacing them every year.
Scary, right?
