Just not at the expense of dicking over its workers. Corporate America is so cutthroat and obsessed with the almighty dollar that their employees get thrown under the truck. A person should be able to support themself by working an unskilled labor job 40 hrs per week. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. like stated above, i never said i was against companies making a profit, but at the same time their employees should be paid fair wages as well. am i on the side of the UAW? hell no. those guys need to realize that GM themselves is on a downslope and them paying for retirees health benefits is costing them a fortune. so the retirees should be responsible to pay for some of those costs. unions support SKILLED workers. no union is going to support an unskilled worker. i will admit that there are some corrupt unions but not all are bad. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/uaw-strike-at-gm/192612)._
