Over 144,000 workers are set to strike on September 14 if negotiations with their employers, the car manufacturers General Motors, Stellantis, and Ford, fail. The union has already employed the tactic of practice pickets at auto plants in Detroit, Michigan and Louisville, Kentucky
Same boat but with GM as a fork truck operator. First time working in a union shop. I like this job because it’s actually much lower stress than my last job (supervisor, logistics). Not sure what I’ll do while the strike is on.
It sucks. We are required for GM to be able to make cars, and yet the union does not give us any of the benefits they afford the others. Why even be affiliated with them if we get put on layoff when they strike?
