Meanwhile the CxO ranks got 40% raises years ago.

And the workers took pay cuts earlier. A 40% increase is less impressive when you take a 15% cut first. (That’s a 19% net increase, but this isn’t based on actual numbers.)

Who gives a shit? Their comp has little to do with the rank and file. They are entirely unrelated. Farley could donate his entire comp package and it would result in a roughly $300 payment to UAW workers. UAW also gets profit sharing and a ratification bonus, meanwhile the rest of the salaried workforce - many of whom earn similar wages to UAW, will get fucked because they have actual performance metrics to hit that are being fucked by this.

I’d also add that as a reward for having the most UAW workers in the US, Ford also has had the highest structural cost and the worst quality for 2 years running, likely 3 as measured by recalls. So they do terrible work and still get the same bonus, entirely independent of their performance.

Who gives a shit?

Most workers in America give a shit. People deserve to be more than modern day wage slaves that spend their entire paycheck on necessities, never getting ahead or being able to save for retirement. If you think this us ok, you should re-evaluate whether you’re actually for lifting people out of poverty or not.

Fuck man, even $300 is something to these people.

They’re talking nonsense in the first place, but imagine thinking $300 is a meaningless amount of money. I would have to be making CEO wages.

How much do you think a UAW worker makes? Just curious

Holy fuck are you aggressively stupid. Impressive in a pitiful way, but blocked all the same. Take your literally retarded thoughts somewhere else, son.

If everyone keeps blocking these guys, they end up dominating the conversation.
