There’s no way American companies can compete with overseas slave labor. The UAW was certainly one of the contributing factors to GM’s fall from grace. But this UAW ownership interest cound work out positively… now they will actually have to give a shit whether the company makes a profit or not instead of just making sure that they get theirs and let all of the other chips fall where they may. > > Maybe this will lead to them shitcanning the lazy, unproductive worthless employees in their own ranks, make the workers a little more productive, accept more reasonable benefits, etc. > > EDIT: THAT IS A BIG MAYBE. > [@Downloaded movies on tv question](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/downloaded-movies-on-tv-question/40418/2): > > never really thought of it that way. interesting perspective. just hate the abuse the union has done to the industry. but if you pinch them where it hurts in the pocketbook maybe they will help become a viable company. but as stated a BIG MAYBE but nice to look at a positive outcome once in a while I like the theory and hope it’s true, but I don’t know. That would require someone to look ahead long term. The CEOs don’t seem to do it - it’s all about next quarter’s numbers and getting what they can before the shit hits the fan or they move on to a different position. I doubt the union leaders will be any different and change. Everyone wants immediate rewards. Please respond to this post in the next 30 seconds or I’ll move on to a thread with more to offer. 🙂 --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/its-a-cold-day-in-hell/202888)._
