    I don't know, will executives give back their salaries for doing a piss poor job of leading the company into tanking profits? Will board members forego their $200k for doing nothing while the executives they are supposed to be guiding lead the companies into tanking profits??

    Fail. You want to believe raise for a group of workers make everyone else poor. That’s nonsense. Higher profit margins make everyone else poor.

    your reading comprehension= Fail.

    not only did I not say what you claim I said, if you utilized proper reading comprehension, you would realize that I actually said somewhat the opposite.

    increasing everyone’s wage doesn’t make them poorer, but it also doesn’t make them richer (with buying power). It does nothing in the long run. You need to be the cream in the milk of life if you want to own the cow. Success and wealth do not come from being homogeneous, they arise from being distinctive.

    This is one of the many reasons why unions suck. Only the people running the unions get wealthy by milking the workers.

    After all his complaints about workers refusing to do crap jobs for low pay during covid, I'm sensing a pattern with the OP

    Americans work longest hours among industrialized countries, Japanese second longest. Europeans work less Time, but register faster productivity gains New ILO statistical volume highlights labour trends worldwide

    Also our annual hours worked (2000) is more in line with East Asia than Europe. Americans spend a lot of time at work!

    If you write more than 3 sentences they will automatically default to posting a negative rep, becasue they seldom read what the other side writes.

    Like President George W. Bush?
    Bush bails out U.S. automakers, Dec. 19, 2008

    By the way, I think Biden's going to stay out of the dispute between the automakers and the UAW with the union and carmakers splitting the difference in the end.

    Yes, but they are demanding a 32 hour work week along with double digit pay raises. The pay raise demand is unusual. I would have expected them to ask for a specific number.

    If people aren't being productive working more than everyone else, that seems like a case for lowering the number of hours people work to me.

    Dude. Every job is paid what it is worth in the long run. Being an auto worker has value that is distinctive from other jobs. You’re just bitching cuz you think blue collar workers are useless unless they are attacking the Capitol. Only an idiot would negotiate their wage based on what you believe will happen in the long run. Moronic. If you are in a better negotiating position you’ll get more. It’s how our economy works.

    Pretty funny that you take such a simpleton’s view of economics but position yourself as a big thinking authority on the subject. You really think it is so black and white that wealth flows to those who are distinctive. Lol.
