This is all supposed to go down on the 14th of September?
Now that's funny. I would ask him but know the answer. I love the guy, generally don't agree with him but he knows how to watch movies at work...UAW and skilled? Is that possible?
Wish you the best.....My new truck is either sitting in the lot at Flint, Michigan or may have been put on a railcar, according to the dealership. Estimated delivery time is between August and December, according to the GM computer system. The General Manager for the dealership said the UAW was asking for a 30% pay raise and decreasing the work week from 40 hours to 32 hours. That's not going to happen. So, unless my truck makes it by September 14th, who knows when it might come in.
Once it is in the hands of the transport company, any UAW strike should not affect delivery.My new truck is either sitting in the lot at Flint, Michigan or may have been put on a railcar, according to the dealership.

The GM said the Teamsters and RR unions would not "cross the picket lines" so vehicles would sit where they were till after the strike was over.Once it is in the hands of the transport company, any UAW strike should not affect delivery.
Try a 40% wage increase and getting paid for 40 but working 32. Been my experience from delivering steel to auto plants (when I worked for the non union outfit I retired from) that every plant I delivered at, most of the workers were doing nothing but trying to not work or hiding somewhere. Amazed me that anything actually got built. GM in Flint was the worst and Chrysler in Trenton, Michigan was a close second.General Manager for the dealership said the UAW was asking for a 30% pay raise and decreasing the work week from 40 hours to 32
Do the local guys not understand that this will just push more work to other places?Try a 40% wage increase and getting paid for 40 but working 32.
